Festive dressing: Boden

Posted on December 15, 2014 by stylepointofview

Heading for a lot of colours!!!!!

http://www.boden.co.uk/#bc

Boden has some great “british” clothing and here are some suggestions:

This is a sweater I have already posted but I love it so much I am going to do it again:

Boden SEQUIN CABLE JUMPER

Isn’t it just marvellous?!?! It will be great for day time too, a pair of jeans to dress it down and you will look fabulous! A pair of black trousers for the evening instead, the top is the “diva”!!

There are some classic velvet jackets, which are never out of fashion really…

: Boden ANNABEL BLAZER freesia

: Boden ANNABEL BLAZER navy blue

: Boden ANNABEL BLAZER silver grey

: Boden ANNABEL BLAZER turquoise

The colours are great and these too can be worn as a day time blazer. As far as evening wear goes though, I wouldn’t do the boring black match but try instead to wear something in a similar shade for the dress or shoe etc. For instance, if you want the pink one, you could add a pearl grey dress and sandals/shoes in a lighter pink. I suppose the silver grey one could be suitable for a black match.

This pair of trousers and shoes would be nice with the turquoise jacket

: Boden ANNABEL BLAZER turquoise

: Boden BISTRO CROP TROUSER metallic jacquard

: Boden MARY JANE black multi glitter

or with the pink one

: Boden ANNABEL BLAZER freesia

: Boden BISTRO CROP TROUSER metallic jacquard

: Boden MARY JANE black multi glitter

and if you don’t want to wear glittery or heels, here’s three other pair of shoes, one better than the other:

: Boden ELEGANT PARTY HEEL silver

: Boden aubergine FLAT T-BAR POINT

: Boden navy JEWELLED PUMP

Now a few gold things…

Boden EMBELLISHED SPOT DRESS cream

I would wear the silver sandals with this dress.

Boden MILANO DRESS champagne sparkle

This other dress isn’t easy at all, you do need to be nearly perfect in order to wear it… I think this one would be nice with navy accessories, if for no other reason than making a little more classy rather than “bomb shell” look !!

Now a top:

Boden METALLIC ORGANZA TOP pale gold

Boden The lace up navy and warm pewter

Gold, gold with grey, love it!! And what do you think of these shoes:

They are quite unusual and the style isn’t for anybody, but if you are looking for something different, or you are “different” and do not want to have the usual classic or sexy evening look, than these are for you.

By the way, they are navy, not black!

That’s it for now.

P.S. Boden has already some discounts, up to 50%!!!!

Festive dressing: Massimo Dutti

Posted on December 14, 2014 by stylepointofview

Today is Massimo Dutti’s turn. Classic, quality clothes and accessories. I am afraid a lot of black again, although this time, injected with a little red, pink and plum.

This gorgeous suit can be worn for the evening with high heels, a strappy camisole and an extravagant necklace. You can also wear it for the day with a t-shirt to make it trendy, with a shirt to make it elegant and classic and with a sweater to make it chic. You can also use the jacket and trousers separately.

: Massimo Dutti BLACK TROUSERS SUIT

: Massimo Dutti ROUND BEADS CORD NECKLACE gold

: Massimo Dutti STRAPPY EMBOSSED COURT SHOE powder pink

Love this jumpsuit as well:

: Massimo Dutti CREPE JUMP-SUIT black

: Massimo Dutti METAL RINGS NECKLACE gold

: Massimo Dutti CROCODILE SLINGBACK COURT SHOE black

This dress is cute, at least it’s a colour other than black!

: Massimo Dutti PLEATED DRESS plum

: Massimo Dutti METAL RINGS NECKLACE gold

: Massimo Dutti STRAPPY EMBOSSED COURT SHOE powder pink

The next outfit is a mix of classic and unusual. Blouse, trousers and shoes are simple and elegant, but, I would wear the necklace on the back and add this sheepskin sleeveless coat to make interesting…

: Massimo Dutti SILK BLOUSE WITH SLEEVE DETAIL ivory (back)

: Massimo Dutti SILK BLOUSE WITH SLEEVE DETAIL ivory

: Massimo Dutti ROUND BEADS CORD NECKLACE gold

: Massimo Dutti FUR WAISTCOAT

: Massimo Dutti BLACK SUIT TROUSERS

: Massimo Dutti BLACK SUEDE COURT SHOE black

: Massimo Dutti PAISLEY PRINT silk SHIRT

: Massimo Dutti SATIN TROUSERS plum

: Massimo Dutti STRAPPY EMBOSSED COURT SHOE powder pink

If you prefer a little colour the above solution is for you.

A few more pairs of trousers to play with:

: Massimo Dutti VELVETEEN TROUSERS plum

: Massimo Dutti STRIPED SUIT TROUSERS

: Massimo Dutti SATIN TROUSERS red

: Massimo Dutti DECORATIVE WAISTBAND FANTASY TROUSERS black

Festive dressing: &Other Stories

Posted on December 13, 2014 by stylepointofview

Second appointment with festive dressing. This time I have selected interesting pieces from & Other Stories, COS trendier cousin. I really had a lot of trouble choosing though, I loved just about everything! I think the match black and off white is fabulous and the jewellery too. I also love the leather trousers and skirts as an alternative to fabric ones. You will see…

http://www.stories.com/it/

Let’s start with a “no-brainer” solution, although you do need to think about shoes… Speaking of which, I reckon, as evening wear goes, skirts and loose trousers need heels whilst skinny trousers are nice with flats as well.

: & Other Stories CUT-OUT PATTERN DRESS black

: & Other Stories BRAIDED BRASS CHOKER

: & Other Stories CUT-OUT PATTERN DRESS black (back)

If you prefer something more classic, here it is, to be worn with a classic shoe with a twist and sizeable earrings ( two for short hair but only one for long!)
