The 4-5 piece French wardrobe #6

[fashionista-ta]

@Melisande: ah, I see. Like Eizhowa, I would love to see how you dress. Sounds interesting

Eizhowa : I will keep my fingers crossed! When will you recieve the pants?

Perhaps you are right, but I really love the Clubmaster as glasses - anyway, if I get them as sunnies I can always have regular glass put in - and get my optician to change them back to shade if I regret it. Not buying them this year anyway though, I think. Unless they are cheaper in Berlin than in Denmark. Does anyone know anything about that?

Jina : looking forward to hearing about that haircut. I aggree with you, it really trends to freshen things up.

Speaking of people missing: has anyone heard from Red and Navy?

--------------

I have decided to get that white peplum tee I got in black as well. I discovered that it is also available in black/white stripe. Not sure if I should get that as well. I have plenty of stripes in my wardrobe, but this is the only tee that I ever liked.

Yes, just recently when I pinned something for her.

Thank you for finding me the name of the brand of the cognac bag.

Eizhowa. I cant find the collage of your burgundy items anymore on polyvore. Do you still have it??

 

[eizhowa]

^Most of the collages I share in tfs are copy-pasted from my polyvore drafts. Thats probably why you can't find them on polyvore

Is it maybe this one?

I only own the Porsellis and the sweater. I also have a burgundy vintage mens silk scarf to accessorise with

I also have a winter capsule on polyvore with some burgundy pieces. Maybe thats the one you were looking for?

Did you ever get the blue HM silk camisole or the Monki polka-dot blouse? I checked my local stores, and they didn't carry them

Btw, where is Barbaraaa recently? I've been missing her, hopefully she is fine.

I'm here I have been reading and keeping up with the thread, just my personal life has been kind of hectic (nothing serious or negative - just been busy and a couple of unexpected turns!) so I haven't really had the time to comment, besides I haven't been shopping a lot... although lately with the temperature rising I have been feeling the need for short sleeved blouses. I definitely stocked up on long sleeved ones during the winter, and now I have to work on my nicer weather attire. I bought a plaid short sleeved shirt recently which I can both dress up and down, but I have yet to try it on. Here's a pic:

ASOS

I also need new sneakers, and have needed them for a while. I know what I want, and I will be buying Vans Era, it's just that I haven't found the time to go buy a pair lately...

P.S. - I know this is very several pages ago, but I too have tortoiseshell ray ban wayfarers - they're my prescription eyeglasses

 

[eizhowa]

^You're alive I like the shirt

Yes I meant that one. No I haven't bought the silk navy cami from HM nor the Monki polkadot blouse. I want to try to avoid these brands because HM en Monki disappointed me a lot in the past.
The only thing that I've bought is this olive green shirt from Massimo Dutti

I really haven't bought many things since I've started to think more about my wardrobe (last summer). The best items were: breton jumper, leather ballerinas, and standard tees. So I haven't bought many things but I've saved a lot of money. Now I want to shop again . Three jumpers from COS are on my wishlist. And some blouses. Do you have recommendations for me? Good quality things that are french and investments?

 

[Trenchcoat]

Because I love to make wishlists with classic items:
- Jumpers: burgundy, olive green, navy
- Charcoal cardigan
- Camel turtle neck sweater
- White silk shirt
- Blush blouse
- Ballerina: black and cognac
- Blue wash jeans
- Black leather jacket
- Grey blazer
- Saint James breton
- Black suit pants
- Blazer: navy and black
- Chambray shirt
- Black skirt
- Black purse
- Greenish bohemian scarf
- Charcoal jeans
- Silk cami top

What is the material composition of your COS sweaters? I would start of with one, and then get more if it is a hit. After a few wears, you might find a detail that could be improved for your next purchase

Its the same as yours. I want the navy one first and then the burgundy one. But i am so happy that I have finally found the olive green shirt that I was looking for

 

[eizhowa]

^Thats great!

Aha. My COS sweater (size XS) is quite short. I have to wear mid rise trousers/jeans with it. It might be longer in larger sizes though. I worry it might be to short for you:S Again, I would recommend uniqlo, but until they decide to ship internationally it is not much use...

I wear M for tops. And I'm planning to buy the Cheap Monday mid rise jeans. I hope that will work.

 

[Betinapple]

@Ta-ta: yes, that is true! What about Eva? Long time since I have seen her pin something as well.

@Barbaraa: so good to "see" you Hope everything has quited down in regards of those unexpected turns. I really love that shirt you bought.

Rust/Cognac sweater

I had a cognac/rust camisole on my wishlist for SS. However, I could never find one that I liked, and I have concluded that trying to find a bra to go with it is simply to much hassle. I found a linen sweater by J crew that I think can fulfuil my desire for a top to match my hair. I am so annoyed I didn't notice the top when they were offering free shippings and returns, but anyway...:/ Currently it costs about 650 NOK/65 GBP I think I will wait until next month (meaning at least 8-9 hours) to get it, and email them for some actual garment-measurements. The fit is "relaxed" and I think regular J crew is oversized. "Relaxed" could mean a I will recieve a rust colored tent for all I know.

I think this picture shows the true color better:

jcrew.com

I think it will look great with my cognac tote, my hair and my orange Porsellis I am really exited about this top

About my Porsellis... I paid 400NOK to have protective soles put on, but I have worn throught the white leather insole You can barely make out where it says "Porselli" anymore.

Betina: I went by Noa Noa and looked at "your" coat, and it is indeed lovely! Unfortunately they only had larger sizes left, but I am sure the right size would look very chic on.

@Barbaraa: so good to "see" you Hope everything has quited down in regards of those unexpected turns. I really love that shirt you bought.

I think modern language really needs to devellop faster and make new words for "seeing" people again online...

 

[eizhowa]

I just recieved my J crew Eaton trousers. The size 2 fits perfect around the hips and legs, but the rise is way to short. I can barely close the button, because it ends right on my hips The size 4 is too big all over. They look utterly shapeless. It is also too high in the rise.

I am going to see if it is possible to maybe let the size two out in the waist or if I can move the buttons slightly, but I am not sure I'll bother, because I have free returns.

Eizhowa, the rusty sweater is gorgeous!! Too bad that the trousers didn't fit. I would love to see your porselli's on a real picture. I really want to but the tan one. And I've heard of the brand French Sole. They sell good ballerinas too.

 

[eizhowa]

The toe-box of the London Soles are too small for me. I would blister. They do have some cute shoes though, if you don't tend to blister around the toes. I think they are more structured than the Porsellis too.

Are you considering the tobacco suede ones? I noticed French Sole sold a pair in rusty brown as well.

I found a few pictures of the shoes, and I took one right now so you cam see the wear on the insole. It is not damage, mind you, just wear.

Thank you Eizhowa! They are so pretty! Love them.

Such an inspirational picture. Now I want the burgundy Porselli's and the burgundy COS jumper.

 

[Nymphaea]

^Very nice indeed, that color is beautiful. It also makes you want to buy everything, so keep a clear mind!
