It was a long big week-end so I owe all you my followers an apology for not posting my blog this week-end. Either there wasn't time or I was too tired. This is one of my favorite outfits. I love this layered ruffle jacket in navy grosgrain/ It's comfortable and depending on the jewelry it can be dressed up or dressed down. These are the kinds of jacket you should look for one that suits many needs, times of day and formalities. That way you get your money's worth. I have it styled here with a rhinestone necklace, but if I were to wear it for everyday I would just leave it plain or add a smaller necklace. The red belt is in keeping with the red lining trim, even though you probably will only see a peak of the belt
Remember that straight legged jeans are the most flattering for the most body types. .
J. Crew channel style jacket with Levi's 505, red J. Crew skinny belt and J. Crew Rhinestone necklace.
Red Hobo bag and vintage red high heels, I can get away with all this red because the outfit is so somber in color.
Ballet flats and a channel style jacket are you kidding perfect. Red Hobo bag.
I keep telling my clients that as you grow older make not only life but your look clean and simple. Wear classics, changing the color with fashion but staying within the palette as to what looks good on you and goes with the rest of your closet. Keep " bling" or "out there looks to accessories, that way you have a closet that has exactly what looks good on you and you alone, but you can up the fashion factor with your accessories.
I love the book "Parisian Chic" by Ines de la Fressange. She is so classic in her look she just changes things up with color and accessories. Here is what I am talking about, see what little effort she uses to make herself look current and yet you know who she is.
Look at these shoes, do they rock or what? Come on someone buys these and then show up dancing in them. Below that is a new way to think about pocket squares for your jacket. Love the bandanna look if they are too bulky you can always cut them down. Hey, they are not that expensive.
Thank you GQ.com for these photos. I love these shoes.

Pocket squares anyone?
I love Ines de la Fresseange, she is an amazing style icon, she is French and she is older. What could possibly be better than that? In her book " Parisian Chic", she has a lot of advise on how to dress like a Parisian, but it's great advise for anyone, anywhere who wants to look amazing and look like it just happened, it wasn't hard. Here is some of her great advise. "A Parisian steps lightly around the fashion traps of the day. Her secret? She breathes the air du temps and puts it to good use, her way, and always with the same aim: fashion should be fun. The Parisian follows a few golden rules, but she likes to transgress, too. It part of the style." Good advise for all, follow your style, don't follow fashion, wrap yourself in clothing that says who you are.
