The white blazer

I have never owned a white blazer. In fact I don’t own much white at all…

This year though I quite fancy a white blazer. This is the way I see it right now: if during winter it is essential to have a black blazer, then during summer one ought to have a white one… (and a black one too, of course!)

I must say the only way I like though, is with a pair of matching trousers. A suit. A white suit. Rather chic, isn’t it?

 

 

 

 

So here are some blazers I have found earlier:

Kimono Jacket DIY

I actually did a post a while ago about kimono jackets… but, yesterday I saw this:

H&M Linen Kimono

H&M Linen Kimono

 

Ok, it’s perfectly affordable by anyone, but, if you already have one in the house… For example, I have a son, who is soon to be taller than me AND who happens to do judo. Now, in my case, this is going to be no use just yet, unfortunately this trend has come around a couple of years too soon for me, but if yours were to be the right height…

 

 

The next step of course is dyeing it, whichever colour you fancy.

SBT0009You could even add some kind of trimming if you want to make it a little different ( might remind you too much of your teenage son otherwise. We all know it is a time to forget!!).

 

Well, good luck! With the jacket I mean…

Hobbs’ “British” style

Hobbs-logo

I was actually looking for maxi dresses, when I came across some extremely classic, “British old style” dresses at Hobbs. I think they could look great. It is vital to style them the right way though or they will look frumpy. They are a little “kitsch” in a way… but I like them!

Have a look at the pages if you like, there are many more, although I have chosen the ones I liked only, obviously! You must look at the dress itself and don’t let your eyes wander to the hideous shoes they show it with.

I know it’s difficult, but imagine that dress with a pair of really trendy heels… have you? Then you know it’s a cute dress!
