Double Breasted Blazer / Scalloped Collar Shirt / Pointed Shoes

Hello all!

I'm completely breaking all of my own rules here. I never, ever wear nude colours. Honestly, I've always believed that they don't go with my skin tone and make me look like a corpse. So when I picked out this blazer from SheInside that looked distinctly more blush-pink on the website, I was mildly horrified to open the package to discover it was in fact... the dreaded nude. I'm shocked to discover that actually, I really like it! I think the contrasting black collar makes a big difference in the sense that the nude colour isn't directly next to my skin. You'll know how fond I am of the slightly androgynous, suit-look on women, so I'll definitely be wearing this outfit again and I think the jacket is slightly reminiscent of some of Chanel's styles, which I adore of course. I'd love to know what you think of nude colours, how do you feel about them?

Silk Pyjama Suit Jacket / Plaid Trousers / Chanel Bag

Hello all!

I fear I am becoming a bit obsessed with black and white as of late (perhaps I should consider changing career paths entirely, move to France and become a mime?) The parts of my spring wardrobe I've already started collecting do actually contain some colour - but recently I've discovered what most people already know; black and white just go together so well...

I bought this pyjama-style suit on Friday, along with its matching trousers - which I initially planned to wear together. Despite these plans, when I got home and re-assesed the situation I decided the matching suit worn in the way that it's supposed to be is a little bit too predictable for me, I'd like to think you are accustomed to me enough by now to know that I favour something slightly more mad. (I did actually want to walk around with a pipe tucked into the jacket pocket so I could furrow my brow and pretend to smoke it whilst thinking, but my ever-descreasing sense of shame/public embarrassment stopped me. On this occasion.)

Velvet Trousers / Leather Lapels / White Pointed Collar

Hello all!

I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas & New Year! As you can tell (and I do apologise for my longer-than-usual absence) I took the last 12 days or so to celebrate and spend time with friends and family. 

I feel like I've returned from a truly happy 12 days with quite a depressing, despondent colour palette - so I'd like to make sure you all know I am not trying to reflect any repressed emotions with my recent monocrhomical (is that a word?) outfits - I'm still as jolly as ever, despite this being a pointy white collar that Wednesday Addams or Karl Lagerfeld would be proud of. 

In regards to this outfit, I'm definitely developing quite a fetish for mixing velvet with almost anything, so when I spotted these black, manishly-tapered velvet trousers in Zara on my birthday I was sure they would go with a multitude of my pre-existing outfits. 

Finally, please share some links with me to any outfits you have been wearing over the festive season, I would absolutely love to see! 

 (and if you laughed at the word 'fetish' I am ashamed of you but secretly I laughed too.)
