Outfit envy Part 2

I've spent an hour on Style.com this morning and I've fallen in love with all of these outfits.....


Louis Vuitton. These soft and delicate shades are so sweet. I love wearing them, especially in my knitwear as they're easier to wear all year round –the soft colours compliment my mood for spring and summer, and the heavy fabric keeps me warm for winter.





Yves Saint Laurent. I’m taken by this stunning colour combination of peppermint and lavender, it’s a much softer and grown up take on last year’s ‘bold colour’ trend. I think this might be a good time to start experimenting with new colour combinations from my wardrobe! I’m also very keen on the tailoring of these outfits, especially number 2. The cut of the top and trousers is very neat but it also looks comfortable which I think is most important. The lavender gives it that ladylike finish and is quite a refreshing colour for a work wardrobe now that we’re moving into spring.






Proenza Schouler. There are two reasons I like these outfit choices. 1. The textures are the first thing I notice about them. I always like to mix and match various textures in my outfits as I feel it makes them so much more interesting, (colours are easy to match, textures are a little more complex). Making the textures of these outfits so prominent simply inspires me. And 2. The choice to use so much black for a S/S collection. I personally avoid wearing black during the warmer months as I find it too drab BUT these outfits are fantastic examples that black can be exciting and vivid for your summer wardrobe – especially the Hawaii print dress and the shorts and shirt.







Jil Sander. The fresh colours and crisp tailoring in these outfits are enough to get me in the mood for springtime. The paisley print, something I’d normally associate with a winter wardrobe, works fantastically well in these bright colours and is something I’d quite like to try for evening wear. The pretty and feminine skirts are my absolute favourite, if only I was a little taller.
