Diane Keaton has a fabulous sense of style; it’s quirky and entirely her own.
She might not be wearing exactly the outfit I am putting together but I feel she would approve.
I’m starting with a black midi skirt because it is an easy win.
Style the skirt with an oversized sweater, a tee or a classic man shirt tucked in if your waist is forgiving.
The midi skirt is one of those wardrobe pieces without hanger appeal; it is one to forget.

Bright white and spacious in the London suburbs, traditional oak with a warming fire in Canada, or maybe an art nouveau inspired loft conversion situated in the heart of New York City.
There is no cause to stop at one; I would take them all.
