No sooner have I concluded I am top of my on trend game, jumping on the ‘pencils skirts are back train’, than I am knocked off. Let’s thanks Grazia’s bumper fashion issue for revealing that trilbys are out and baseball caps are in. I will chance becoming even less cool with the following utterance – Le sigh.
But let’s not forget the burgundy bag; heralded first as AW11’s colour but in fact having another bash at it in AW12.
And so I will conclude that fashion is fickle and there are a mere few who can stay ahead of the wave. Let’s just say this – I’m no surfer.
…
ava hat – Reiss (last worn here)
jumper & shirt – H&M (last worn here)
skirt – Autograph @ M&S
romelia court – Aldo
necklace – Marc Jacobs via ShopBop
watch – Michael Kors, tribute bracelet – Stella and Dot
leather bag – Autograph @ M&S
denim lead – Ancol, coat – model’s own c/o Infindigo
P.S. Whilst this was perfect for work the combination of tiny step inducing pencil skirt and high heels was too much for dog walking; heels were subbed post lunch.
Love the layering with your tops 🙂

thanks mica – I seem to have been wearing a lot of layers ever since returning from egypt and shirt under jumper seems to be my fav
Looking good. And this post reminds me that I should dust off my leopard pencil skirt….rawr
you definitely should!
Don’y you remember when you were having a frizzy hair day that I told you baseball caps were in..huh?huh? whatever the trend, this hat looks great on you..stick to what you feel comfortable with!

thank you
I love Grazia but baseball caps will never be cool…;)
I don’t know… I think my fashion radar has become skewed – I would love a baseball cap (real leather only please) but my child sized head will not allow it – for now the trilby will be my friend
Love this casual yet chic outfit! The bag adds a nice pop of color to the outfit, great styling! (:

thanks jennifer – always feel it hugs a bit much on my ass but not so noticeable with a big baggy jumper 😉
Ah!!!! So hard to decide which one I like better, the stripe, the pencil, the hat, or your hair..oh…and Mr. K too…just noticed that he has denim “necklace”,,,how cute!!! 😀

I love stripes and kinda think the same, they are always classic and never really out of style – winner
Like your heels, looks nice with the hat and stripes !
thanks daisy – these heels are def one of my wardrobe essentials – they seem to go with everything!
I love this look! I adore everything about that top- the slouchy shoulders, the boat-neck and the nautical stripes.
It’s one of my favs and I probably wear it more than I should 😉
My favourite look of the year!!!
thank you julia – glad you like it so much!
I agree that would have been too much for a simple dog walk for me as well but for casual fridays at the office or coffee with the gals it is a perfect casual yet chic look.

I guess I’m lucky that every day at the office is casual if you want it to be 🙂
