Gentlewoman



























































If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that simplicity, for me, is key. These images from La Garconne perfectly illustrate how to throw on an outfit made entirely out of basics without any fear of looking boring. In fact, it is the almost invisible nature of the clothes which really catches my eye, creating that nonchalant-thrown together look that is just perfect for autumnal dressing. Both practical and chic.

    Oh yes, I always love what La Garconne has to offer. If only such perfect simplicity didn't come at such high prices! :-) Although I have had success in their sale section.

    i think that grey (wool?) long-sleeved top would a fantastic staple, of which one could never own too many copies.

    I love the simplicity and the practicality in these pictures. So effortlessly chic, exactly what I am aiming for but so difficult to achieve the perfect look. I want to be able to just throw things on from my wardrobe and always look this good. I am really enjoying your blog. xx

    Hi,

    sorry to bother you once again - but would you still be interested in the IM jacket? At this point, I'd pretty much be willing to sell it to you for whatever you're willing to pay.

    You can contact me at: d.christina@gmx.at

    Hope you have a nice day!

    La Garçonne should edit a magazine. Their editorials are the best.
