What a title, eh?
Try and say that fast ten times!
But that's exactly what this is.
A colourful outfit that's smart and bold.
Perfect for late summer into autumn.
This outfit was for a busy day where I had to look smart (enough) but still be comfortable.
What could be easier than a pencil skirt, nude wedges and a simple Breton?
Simple?
Yes.
But what about boring?
Maybe a little too 'classic'?
Adding a bold orangey-red jacket is the answer!
To stop things looking too sombre (even with the pop of colour) I popped on a pair of cherry earrings.
Nothing too boring or classic about them!
A classic look is a great option but it always worth adding your own twist, whatever that may be!
JACKET: Boden (this one is similar)
TOP: J-Crew (old)...similar.
EARRINGS: Charity shopped ... similar.
SKIRT: Charity shopped and old... similar.
SHOES: Dune (I got mine from eBay for a tenner)
BAG: Very old.
How would you pep up this classic combination?
A chunky necklace?
A bright lipstick?
I'd love to know!
Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! XXX
DeleteYou've just made me think I should drag my old pencil skirt out of the storage closet. I haven't worn it since I retired. And it would look great with a striped tee and, for my purposes, white sneakers. Thanks for the inspiration, Samantha.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Sue.
DeleteI hope you dig it out and get some more wear out of it.
When I move seasonal pieces out of my storage boxes they feel like new clothes which is great AND we do a little saving (both money and planet)... win win. XXX
I love the orangey-red blazer with this - I would probably add a more interesting shoe, maybe in a bold bright yellow.
ReplyDeleteI bet you would Sheila!! That sounds lovely :o)

I do love your blazer, its color is so joyful and vitaminic!. I think that you created a brilliant combo adding a bold color blazer to a classic ensemble, those details make a difference!. You totally rock!
