COS STRIPED SILK TROUSERS black and blue (detail)

I have fallen in love with these trousers…..

They are from COS, they are silk, but the best has yet to come….they are black and blue!!!

Now, what’s better than black trousers? Black and blue trousers of course!

Think, you can wear them with all the clothes and colours you wear with your BT but they have also a second colour in them, not too evident, which is great to make a look more interesting while not “disturbing”. Ok, I am probably going over the top here, but when madly in love, one tends to go on , and on, and on… you get the picture, don’t you?!

Ending this rambling speech, the trousers are great both for day-time and evening/special occasion:

Sorry, the second pair of sandals are very expensive but I couldn’t  find the style I wanted otherwise!

Spring 2015 wish list

1) Lace-up ballerinas. Head over heels with these shoes…They are way too expensive for me though and I haven’t yet found a suitable substitute unfortunately.

2) Something suede. I bought a bag in the sale with Spring in mind, so I already have that. I am going to go for a suede skirt. This one too is a problem since Filippa K  doesn’t deliver outside  its country of origin….not doing too well….

3) Pair of shorter jeans. Love this length, great with “my” lace-up ballerinas. Ok, here perhaps I can solve the problem by just shortening a pair I already own…

Festive dressing: COS

Whether you like it or not, it’s almost Christmas, you know, church service? lunch with parents and relatives, etc.etc. Following this family gathering, you may have also a New year’s eve do, hopefully with friends this time!!. What are you going to wear???

I already have posted plenty of clothes and accessories which could be suitable for these occasions. This is a new approach to “the problem” ( I wish all problems were like that!), one which is divided more into styles. I thought I would select the best there is from my favourite sites.

I am starting with COS. Very understated, minimal, almost all black and white.

I love the organza top, you will be able to wear it with jeans too.

This top is great to dress up and to use with a shirt/long sleeve top underneath for every day use.

 

All three will get plenty of use with both elegant clothes and not…

Ok, now some trousers:

Love, love, love them! When Yves Saint Laurent decided women could wear evening suits too, was one of the best moment in fashion ever!

And the trendier version..

But you may want to wear something more classic:

These ones are gorgeous, classic with a subtle twist:

A skirt?

which doesn’t need to be so classic, a leather one might make your outfit look more interesting…

Bye, bye.
