Long on long

Posted on by

There’s nothing like  “LONG on LONG” to make one’s look instantly chic. A little “aristocratic chic”, especially the trench and trousers version.images

I am not sure why, it just does. With flats of course. Whether they are sandals, ballerinas, loafers, brogues, but flat nevertheless. Another detail which would make you look extremely chic would be the absence of a handbag but a man instead (carrying your things)…. Ok, not always possible but you do agree it looks ever so stylish?! Perhaps you could add sunglasses instead…

Some other LONG on LONG ideas:

COS MOHAIR AND WOOL CARDIGAN navy
Zara WAISTCOAT WITH BELT black (front)

Although the above are all with trousers and I quite like the LONG CARDIGAN on LONG DRESS or LONG SKIRT too:

Or even a dress over another dress:

I also like the long t-shirt + shorter sweater + cardigan + wide trousers look:

Well, it seems it’s going to be very cold in the next few days, so layers might be a solution…

“Keep it Chic” comfortable look

Posted on by

I saw this look a few days ago :  Keep it chic’s comfortable run-around

and it reminded me how fond I am of the classic cashmere sweater + shirt + jeans + loafers look. It’s a look which never goes out of fashion and it’s ever so chic!

So I decided, even though I loved it, to adapt it even more to my liking. I kept the gorgeous sweater in a different colour and the jeans (they are over my budget but I must admit I was too lazy to find a pair of similar ones). The shoes are gorgeous but, again, out of my reach price wise, so I did find some other pairs. I decided to lose the bag and the sunglasses. The first because I am not finding anything I like and is affordable at the moment, the second because I think it’s daft to wear sunglasses as there is NO sun to be seen around here at the moment… (well, I was thinking about me for this look…)

Cashmere sweater + white shirt + jeans + loafers

Here are some more lovely colours for the jumper:

and some shoes too, which include a pair of amazing clear ones! (even though I adore the classic cognac loafer)

I am not going to show you any more jeans or white shirts as I suspect you own rather a few already you could use, as I do!!

I want to scream and shout and let it all out….I might even start dancing!!! Not going mad, here’s why I am singing:

Who What Wear, my favourite go-to site for anything that is going on with fashion, has done a post about London Labels, that’s where I found ME+EM, and my blood starting flowing very fast!!!!! I love their tailoring, their shirts and dresses. Not so sure about the knitwear though, apart from a few sweaters… There’s actually a lace jumpsuit which is hideous and I really can’t understand how that could happen… But, let’s concentrate on the marvellous pieces.

Almost forgot, the materials seem pretty good too, you know I care quite a bit about this, AND the prices affordable.

Anyway, here’s what I would have straight away (which is rather a lot I know):
