Isabel Marant

Hm, is this skirt in the double dips thread? I have a feeling it belongs there . . B)

So here is the skirt and boots...sorry for a not-so creative outfit... I was going to pair the skirt with colored tights(maroon) or (grey) but it was 8 degrees last night and the black tights are my only merino wool ones.


I feel silly posting this in a thread with so much good taste


Any other ideas? I like the idea of the skirt with an oxford type shirt or plaid.

What about a shrunken oxford shirt, like band of outsiders have been doing for Boy? It's a bit hard to tell what you are wearing on top in that pic, but my inclination is that something more fitted on top could also be very cute. A shrunken jacket or vest over a flowey blouse could be nice too...

You are adorable, btw...I love your hair!

laika~ love the idea of a Boy oxford; however, I can't find them online. Opening Ceremony carries them...but I ordered Cheap Mondays from them sight unseen and it was a disaster. The blog that's up for the brand only has a few polaroids...grr... living in Minnesota....

^Why not just buy an oxford shirt in the boy's department? Sure to be cheaper and easy to find.

Steve Alan has a couple of plaid button down shirts, though I like laika's idea of going to the boy's department

. . Or even a uniform supply store.

I like the boy's department idea. But I'm a 32DD. Maybe a large. thanks for all the help.

...

A bit late into the conversation but juliet, that skirt looks so cute on you

As far as top suggestions...how about this Peter Pan collar shirt from APC? I've got one myself in a different fabric and it's fitted, yet roomy...bad description but if you think a button-down shirt may be too tight I think this might work for you.

Or one of their 3/4 sleeve sweatshirts? (I swear, I don't work for APC...I'm just addicted ).

Awww...I have the peter pan collar shirt from APC as well.
It looks better on a real person than on the screen.
Sorry for the un-IM post.

Hello, http://www.mickmargo.com/ have her clothes and shoes, they are in NY. I just got my IM boots from them, you will have to call the store (or go there) for the boots as they don't carry them online.

eeyore - Nida in San Francisco had that jacket in black and also olive, but in a different fabric. Although I'm not sure if they still do, since it's so late in the sales ...

Hello Isabel Marant lovers! I am new to the board and also love Isabel (along with other french designers- especially APC and Vanessa Bruno) I was in Paris over x-mas and able to pick up a few Isabel pieces and visit some of her boutiques. I will post pictures of what I got!

eeyore- I have seen that jacket in person when I was in paris- I really wanted to get it but I have a similar version (although longer) I really love it in olive green. Creatures of Comfort had it a while ago but I think they are sold out as I don't see it on their site anymore.

 

[stealthmodesteph]

The first two items I bought were at the 1 rue jacob store in the 6eme
I tried on a bunch of things as this was the first time I've been in an Isabel Marant store! I was so giddy!

I'm sure you have all seen the beating heart window display, but I included a picture anyway. It is so amazing in person! I am one who appreciates good window displays (I used to do them in a store I worked at)
