The 4-5 piece French wardrobe combinations thread

Does the sweater work with the satin ones as well? I find that washed silk sometimes drape better. Maybe thats what I ought to be looking for. Hmmm...

Actually I do not know, since I have to hem the satin ones. Also I was mainly planning on wearing them as layering pieces (with a skirt and a sweater over). I will let you know how it turns out when I get to try it (when it becomes a little colder)

An outfit from this week. A lot of older stuff (the scarf is from 2009 way before I knew about the American Apparel sleeze factor..), shirt from 2010, glasses from 2011, bag and jeans from April last year, boots bought in March and the cardigan is bought in late August this year.

Really love that combination, and the fact that only the cardigan is brand new.

I've been looking through this thread and have to say I adore your style Betinapple!

Thank you so much Caramel - what a nice compliment

This is what I wore the past Saturday.

My "new" leather jacket (a pink one that I dyed black myself) (originally bought in December 2011), scarf from 2009, jeans and boots from last winter, blouse from spring 2012, bag from 2010 and beanie from last fall.

^Your jacket looks superb!

 

[eizhowa]

It really does I'd call it a success visually. Have you had any trouble with it?

 

[Betinapple]

Thank you for the nice words, ladies. No troubles whatsoever. It was a bit stiff at first but it has softened after I applied leather lotion

the jacket looks great, betina - as do you! what leather dye did you use? I'm thinking of dying some boots black...

Thank you so much.

I bought the dye at a leather specialist in Copenhagen. I would talk to a specialist about it. Sorry I can not be of more help.

 

[twistelette]

^ no, that is good help! thanks!

Wow, that is a great silhouette! The scarf works really well with the red lips and all the black.

Thank you so much. I really loved it as well. The scarf is perfect for all my black dresses, which is nice since I find that black can look a bit harsh against my skin during the winter.

Lovely! Wanted to give you some karma for the outfit but couldn't

 

[eizhowa]

^I've got your back, Barbaraa! I gave her Karma from us both
