Today was a really cold day, more like winter. It is a nice change to have days like this, I was getting tired of the warm days we were having. I finally switched sunglasses for a change and took my old Marc Jacobs cat-eyes for a spin. I don’t know why I feel so much more comfortable in my classic wayfarers, I guess because they are as neutral as it gets, and that allows more room for matching with any outfit, but today I was just craving a change. I also took my old Prada bag out, I had forgotten how much I love her.
I’m wearing: Marc Jacobs sunglasses, Sandro sweater, Topshop pants, Burberry trench, Valentino heels and Prada bag.
So today finally the super warm temperature ceased and i’m as happy as can be with this mild weather. I completely nailed it for today (temperature wise) with this outfit as it was perfect for this weather. I was not cold, not hot, just really comfortable!
Lately I have hardly been wearing skinny jeans, I have become more of a trousers/boyfriend jeans kind of gal but today I was back to my old, very very old (2008) Topshop jeans that I altered back in 2011 when I could not find the perfect cropped blue jeans. I paired them with my beloved Birkenstock Arizona sandals that I wore non stop in South America last winter. You can see a previous outfit of me wearing them HERE.
I’m wearing Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses, The Kooples shirt and leather jacket, Topshop jeans, Birkenstock Arizona sandals and Chanel bag.
Today i’m in a grannish mood! I know my late grandmother would be in love with this outfit in fact this is pretty much what she always wore: white shirts, navy skirts and black mid heels with a black bag. She was one of the most refined/stylish women I have ever met and unconsciously she became a great influence to me, specially fashion-wise.
I don’t think we become aware at times how our surroundings specially our family and the way we are brought up influences our taste and vision in fashion but as I have become older I have realized how those things play a big part, wanted or not. No matter how much I experimented with fashion as a teenager I always come back to resemble the women in my family and how they dressed: sober, classic and as natural as possible.
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban sunglasses, The Kooples top, COS skirt, Jimmy Choo kitten heels, and Chanel bag.
Stripes again! This time paired with navy suit trousers, another good essential garment for in between seasons. I don’t wear my navy ones as much as the black ones, but still they are a core item in my wardrobe. This particular pair is lightweight so it’s not very appropriate for winter, therefore I have another pair more suited for cold months WORN HERE.
The trick with suit trousers is to find a good fit for your body otherwise it can be super uncomfortable and end up looking disastrous. Now a days, the variety you can find is amazing, they are made cropped, long, skinny, straight, flared, etc. That and the colors you can find can go from the classic black or navy to loud neons and wild prints (this last two cases horrify me, but it’s good to know there is a good selection for all tastes).
The pair i’m wearing today was gifted, so I did not choose them, but luckily for me they were a good fit for me. I am planning to purchase a grey pair for fall so in case you are looking for some interesting ones as I am, I will leave you my suggestions:
– J Crew has great affordable trousers SHOP HERE
– Stella McCartney has a great variety at a higher price range SHOP HERE
– Saint Laurent is all classic pieces SHOP HERE
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban classic wayfarer, A.P.C striped top, The Kooples trousers, Chanel flats and Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola bag.
