I did something really rather cool related to my blog today, but you will have to wait until next week to hear about it... but it did involve wearing a nice outfit, and styling such as used to be every day for me, but is now more for occasions where extra effort is required. It was a shame not to capture it myself so here it is!
Today's dress: Heyday Fleur
Bag: Leather Satchel Co (I use it every single day)
Shoes: Swedish Hasbeens Fredrica
Earrings: Bow & Crossbones
But as mentioned, it is not really all that warm. Cue my favourite new eBay score, a 'vintage' (absolutely zero idea how old it is... maybe 80s) cropped leather jacket!
I absolutely adore this jacket! I have been looking for one for years, never found something that both fit and was suitably cropped. This was a very lucky find and risk on eBay - luckily it paid off and it is perfect!
I have a long body, so it might not be as perfectly cropped on a shorter lady. Just right on lanky old me!
Isn't it good?? It's lightly lined so it's not too warm but keeps the cold away nicely. I shall never take it off (except when I wear other jackets... or no jacket... or in winter).
Bonus details are my awesome new shoes from Swedish Hasbeens to replace my knackered ones from last year... Fredricas are the perfect height and the natural goes with errrrrr'ythang.
Do you buy a new thing, love it and wear it every day despite having loads of other things languishing in the wardrobe? I hope it's not just me...

DeleteVery, very lovely Fleur! And the color of your nails is just divine .. what a beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsay, it's a NARS one :)
DeleteWhat an amazing find - it's just the right length and will look fab with all kinds of pieces in your wardrobe. Kerching!
ReplyDeleteYes I do exactly this, buy something and then wear it to death.... then eventually remember I have other things in my wardrobe :s
I don't feel guilty... it's just the boyfriend's protestations of space... ;)
DeleteThe rockers/biker tough chicness of the leather jacket tempered by the sweet, vintage-ness of the Fleur dress is nothing short of a show-stopping and very cool combination.

Thanks lovely :)
DeleteLovely outfit. And your hair is stunning. And I want swedish hasbeens, too. I heard so many good things about them, how comfy they are and how sturdy.
ReplyDeleteWearing something all the time? Check, I am totally guilty of this. Thinking about my favourite dark blue second hand dress and white 50's cardi right now... why am I NOT wearing 'em today??????
haha, it's always the way. I find it so hard to part with things I used to love and now don't wear too... I always think I'll wear it again one day... maybe...
DeleteI tend to buy a new thing and keep it in the wardrobe 'for best', then realise I'm wasting a good thing and dig it out about a year later!
ReplyDeleteYour jacket is a great fit on you.
