Four Outfits Friday. . . and Spot the New Shoes. . .
Above, my new Vince jeans which I've already worn at least ten times in the three weeks I've owned them. They're very heavy denim, almost no stretch, high-waisted. . . .I'd been keeping an eye out for a pair that had the, mmmmm, integrity or something like, I was looking for, while still having a bit of fashion-y panache, and these are the pair. Back-pocketing is well placed, the legs are just wide enough without being sloppy or too dramatic, and ditto for the just-cropped-enough length. Sadly, the Vince sneakers I'm wearing them with are on their last days (holes coming on the soles). . . I almost abandoned the faux fur vest in Europe last fall, thinking it had served me well enough but that I might not wear it another year (casualty of three-months, one-carry-on: weariness with some garments!). And that printed sweater is a very lightweight merino (J Crew, bought this past spring).
The dress below (Minimum is the brand) was a no-brain purchase at a local shop (Eugene Choo). The material is a knit, a dense, fairly heavy one that drapes very nicely and doesn't lose shape quickly. Wearing it with a paisley-print silk scarf I've had for years (Club Monaco, I think), one of the only two I'd brought (the other was a beige cashmere wrap, too much for the warm-ish evening) -- at home, I'd probably never have paired dress and scarf, searching instead for a more likely complement, but I ended up really liking the print-mixing. And those are my new shoes (MOMA, lace-free Oxfords, in an antiqued/crackle gold-black) -- I'll show you a better picture of them later with a little account of my deliberations over their purchase, but here they are on the night I took them back to the hotel for more testing and decided they fit well enough to walk to dinner -- comfortable enough for a 20-minute walk, both ways!
And below, the silk shirt I bought in Bordeaux last fall paired with the Aritzia black pants (pull-on! so comfy but they look chic, imho, thanks to a brilliant cut and a very nice (Japanese, apparently) microfibre. These were part of last year's three-months, one-carry-on experiment and acquitted themselves very well. I machine-wash them on a gentle cycle, and so far, they wear like iron.
What about you? Weekend plans? And are you well into the seasonal wardrobe change? Do you tend to put all the summer gear away and switch right over to the woolies, or can you blend the two a fair bit? And which of the garments or outfits I'm wearing here would you find at all useful? Which pieces do you rely on most? Are you, like me, becoming more and more focussed on certain silhouettes so that you, too, might be able to manage on a limited wardrobe of just the right pieces -- not quite three months in one carry-on, perhaps, but something like? I know, I know, too many questions, but you know you can pick and choose, right? Or not answer them at all, just wave a hello or add something new to the conversation. . . Always good to hear from you. . .
