A track trousers outfit !

Track trousers have been in fashion for a little while now but I wasn’t really sure about this look… until today. That’s when I noticed this woman wearing them with just the right things! Here is what I would do:

1 Long cardigan, simple and not too tight in either black or grey.

2 Top or t-shirt, possibly a flamboyant one. I rather love the idea of a sequin covered top!

3 Track trousers, not too wide not too tight, in a mid weight fabric, no writing on them and cuffs at the ankles. Wouldn’t go for anything other than black or dark grey.

4 Ballerinas, I prefer the rounded toes kind in this case, but, if you need to lengthen your legs you can wear a pair of pointy ones. Again, provided the top/t-shirt is quite simple, you could go “over the top” with the shoes and wear a really bright coloured pair with metallic finish. I actually quite like lace up shoes too, especially if the cardigan is quite chunky.

5 Big tote to complete. This too could be quite flashy if everything else isn’t!

Here are some examples:







a few more things to play with and substitute to what’s above…

Hope you find it useful.
Bye for now.

COS Essentials

I am getting rather bored because there’s very little new around this period of the year. I don’t like sale time and I refuse to think too much in advance to winter clothes, even though I absolutely adore them!

So, if you have any money left, after paying for your holidays….I have actually found what you ought to spend it on: COS essentials. See, we are always investing in the new season clothes there’s never the time and money when one invests in basics, which are, as the word suggests,  something necessary to one’s wardrobe.

Here are some from my favourite make:

T-SHIRTS



AN EXTREMELY USEFUL SWEATSHIRT

A “you never know it might get cold and anyway makes everything look sooo chic” SCARF
