A bunch of chic looks

Posted on January 4, 2016 by stylepointofview

Every day I save pictures on my computer I like. I fall in love with a trend, a look, a colour combination, a detail, etc. I must keep them, even just to look at them now and again, like a painting, something I find beautiful. I wish I had the time to write a post about all that I accumulate but I don’t. Since I am a bit of an organised freak, I must tidy up now and again. This is why, today, you get a bunch of pictures with no further explanation than: I saved them because there was something I loved in them. Today’s are a mixture of street style and models:

The Aran jumper

Posted on December 9, 2015 by stylepointofview

From Wikipedia: The Aran jumper that takes its name from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. A traditional Aran Sweater usually is off-white in color similar to a sheep’s wool and is made from 100% wool. One of the most recognisable features of a traditional Aran is its cable patterns on the chest.

My latest fancy. Not true, I have always liked this pattern and I have owned one too, only today I decided, I would like one again, a polo neck. I could wear it with jeans (gorgeous) but I would wear it with a mid length skirt (+ ankle boots) too….

Black & green

You know how you have periods you always wear certain clothes or colours? Well, I am into black and green right now ( forest green, sage green, bottle green… perhaps Christmas tree green!!), after seeing this:

Gorgeous or what?!? I absolutely LOVE this!

Pity I haven’t been able to find this top or anything similar for that matter…but, it will be not forgotten. When I like something as much as I like this sweater, I just keep it in mind (I have a small compartment in my mind where I store fashion info about my wardrobe needs) and, one day, hopefully, I will come across it by chance while looking for something else. It has happened. I looked for about 3 years for the right black jeans belt and one day, I was looking for clothes for one of my two sons, when I found it! It was in the men’s department, but hey! who cares if it’s not a woman’s belt.

The thing is, it is worth waiting for the RIGHT item, plenty of times I wanted, and couldn’t resist buying, something which was almost right but not quite, it never pays off. When you find the perfect one, love will blossom and continue for years.

Anyway, I had been looking for a new colour match for my many black items for a while. I am fed up with the usual ones and green is definitely going to be my favourite now. I actually own a gorgeous green & Other Stories sweater I bought in the sales last year, it’s a start!

Here is some green you can add to your black:
