Timeless, chic and effortless… that’s how I want to be dressing.
No time to think about ‘what goes with what’ or whether something suits me or any of those other pesky questions that rear their annoying heads when we speak about fashion. Dressing has to work for us… and make our lives easier. There is too much to see and do without having an anxiety attack over what to wear.
An outfit I rely upon is this lace skirt with a simple black tee-shirt… I also have a straighter pencil style version that I accessorise in exactly the same way. I can wear it with lace-ups, loafers, with ballet flats or with stilettos… I can go for a drink, have dinner or hang out around the house… it works. I can substitute the black tee for a white tee… In winter I swap the teeshirt for a cashmere, add opaque black tights and some short boots… In my view this is a very timeless, chic and effortless look…
the best ever rag and bone basic brando tee / if you are lucky enough to be a 2, 4 or 8 US look nor further than this lace skirt from tibi / in my dreams lace valentino skirt / the prettiest macrame lace pencil skirt from moschino / a choice of lace pencils skirts from donna karan
a selection of lace -ups / heavenly leopard print lanvin loafers / the original repetto ballet flats / lanvin style yosi samra ballet flats
and to winter it up wolford opaque tights / perfect v necks, boat-necks and raglan cashmere sweaters from vince / the best ‘dicker’ booties from isabel marant
What we admire about French women is their ability to look chic, their effortless sense of good style and the timeless way in which they put it all together… That’s why I’m thinking French… xv
