You may remember my love for classics, regarding tweed. Season
after season with every granted year, I can always depend on my collection of coats
and jackets. This vintage blazer is one of my favourites and has been worn many
times.
In my opinion, traditional pieces like these are staple items in my
wardrobe. Blazers, for me are the next of kin to my Little Black Dress. They’re
much like what a white dress shirt is for a man. They are essentials and everyone
needs one.
I wore this for a work presentation and a small jaunt to a
holiday theatre play for charity. Then, I changed shoes. To offset my packed agenda, I took a moment to take a style shot. As if being barefaced with
bone-chilling breezes weren’t enough to begin the day, of course I thought a stroke
of rouge lips and a ribbon retro hat was well-suited and a great finishing
touch.
It’s a bit amusing—when I recently analysed my wardrobe, I became
conscious of the fact that I have very little velvet. Depending on the style of
garment, I actually love velvet and
thought that I had more of it! However, the true verdict was that aside from a
vintage blazer, a flocked scarf and skirt, there weren’t too many other velvet items
or the likes of it in my closets. But, then I found this brooch … perhaps I
spoke too soon!
What’s one of your
favourite classic pieces of clothing? Have you ever worn velvet?

blazer-Vintage, Contrast collar blouse, Velvet skirt, and Kisslock Handbag in Brown-c/o

Lovely outfit Madison! For some reason I feel I can picture you wearing this in the English countryside 🙂 That velvet skirt is a gorgeous color and you made me realize that I actually don't own anything velvet at all.

Liebe Madison, Du siehst wieder wunderschön und sehr elegant aus! Deine Looks sind immer sehr toll. Ich mag Samt sehr gerne, aber ich habe nur einen Blazer aus Samt. Aber Dein Input ist gut, ich sollte ihn mal wieder anziehen. Ich trage sehr oft und gerne Blazer, Jacken überhaupt und ich besitze sehr viele davon 😉
Eine wunderbare Vorweihnachtswoche für Dich!

Love your outfit Madison – the hat is just great & love the tweed jacket as well! I pretty much always have a velvet blazer in my wardrobe, although for the last couple of years have not worn it as I've been more into my tuxedo jacket, but hoping it will come back–I love velvet!

You look totally adorable Madison. Love the tweed blazer and the velvet skirt. Now that I think about it I have to say that I don't own enough velvet pieces myself. Although I love velvet. I own a pair of oversized pants and nothing more. Will keep my eyes open. Have a fabulous start of the week!!
