Sweet Stitches

Hola!

Whoever has been to New York before, summer or winter alike, knows there’s nothing average about its weather. Extremes in all sorts of ways (let us remember Irene, Sandy and Nemo at this point) “plague” the metropolitan apple. So this gloomy Wednesday forced me (like it’s a bad thing … come on!) to layer adequately. Starting from the outside, I wore my Michael Andrews Bespoke camel overcoat. If you want to change things up, throw it casually over the shoulders and wear it more like a cape. I liked the color-combination with the olive green of my Marc by Marc blazer. This is one of my dearest pieces, because I think the triple stitching is a wonderful detail to make it look much more expensive. It has a great, slim fit and works wonderfully with the wool H&M slacks I just got; combining these really slim lines with a slightly looser silhouette. To make it a little different I matched my Club Monaco plaid shirt with a polka dot tie, also from H&M. I know polka dots have been seen a lot, but try and stop me from continuing to wear them, I personally am still a big fan. My feet are decorated my by ox-blood double monk straps from Allsaints.

The idea was to have a busy foundation and counteract it with neutral, uni colored pieces.
