White, grey and black with a touch of burgundy

I couldn’t find exactly what I had in mind for the sweater and the tights but everything else is just how I wanted it!

The sweater: I had in mind the typical “ballerina” type, tightly wrapped around the bust. The one I found is a bit thin and loose but it’s similar to what I would have liked. I would wear it with the sleeves gathered up to just below your elbow to show part of the shirt’s sleeve worn underneath.

The shirt: I like it simple, stretch and quite open at the top, so you can see the collar coming out the sweater. A bit like in the 70’s!!

ESPRIT Collection Shirt – white

The skirt: gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Cut, fabric and fabric (that’s because I really love it!!).

The tights: I had imagined a pair of wooly melange ones…these are the nearest I could find which I like too.

The boots: I chose these but a pair with a thicker heel or a rounder toe or both, are nice as well I think.

Colour matching

Posted on January 13, 2015 by stylepointofview

I have some observations about colour and shapes matching.

I will start from the beginning…..ok, I will try to keep it short! I bought a green sweater without actually thinking about what to wear it with (I love it by the way, looks even better than the picture AND is soo warm!)

Because I don’t, I never buy clothes to match them with something specific. I know why, do you? This morning I decided I wanted to wear it and I matched it perfectly with a pair of patterned trousers I bought two years ago,

: Marc O’Polo Ankle boots – brown

which I matched perfectly with a pair of Chelsea boots and I added a fox collar (belonged to my Grandma). Everything fell into place wonderfully!!

I will add that I wore my trousers, which are a bit baggy, turned up several times so you could see the top of the boots and I instantly became taller!! This because I then wore a big, shapeless parka….which looked great too with everything else I had on.

Conclusions: if one decides what her style and colours are, everything matches without effort.

Suede

Here comes suede! Or does it?!

I am not actually sure… if only I could find some… I saw a suede skirt on Who What Where (I think) and I fell in love with the idea. I than tried to find available ones for sale on quite a few sites, only I didn’t find any!!! Perhaps it is not fashionable right now. Pity, I thought it was a great idea. Trying harder I found a couple and several “pre-owned” ones (they are not called second-hand anymore, I guess that sounds less cool!).
