Snowball, I absolutely adore the short black jacket with the cream skirt on you !

The 11C is my holy grail! I don’t have it and so regret it! I completely agree about the 18P, in any colorway it is such a workhorse jacket, somehow seems to go with almost anything. I am a huge fan of lightweight jackets as well, so I’m sure that’s part of it. I always used to be freezing, but as I get older I am always hot!
Ari, I’m so glad you are back! Your styling photos are so helpful, because you combine outfits in ways I would not think of, but which look so stylish. I just got a new idea for a light colored suit I have that you wore with a darker top. I would not have come up with the combination on my own but it looks great and sophisticated (and helps it to translate out of summertime).
My most worn are probably a black jacket from at least 10 years ago with subtle gold writing sewn in, because it is neutral yet funky, the cell phone pocket jacket (sans cell phone pocket) in the winter, the black Seoul in the summer and and the 18P fringe. On the other hand, some of my grails I have only worn once or never (both the black and white Robot - again Ari, I just saw a photo of you wearing it with T-shirt and it looks wonderful, so I need to try to wear them with an edgier vibe), the brown Paris Rome jacket, a couple of capes...which I love the idea of, but who am I kidding?, all of the Greece jackets). I think I just have a run-out-the-door to work lifestyle for the most part, and I wear a uniform of a comfy skirt or long culottes, a stretchy knit top and a lightweight jacket or detailed cardigan. Add jewelry and nice shoes and it is professional, comfortable and so easy. Regardless, even things I have never worn do not make me feel regretful (like my never worn handbags sometimes do), instead they make me smile to look at them and remember how pretty they are to me. They are each like art, even if not fancy. When I was at university I took a course called the History of Costume (basically the history of Western fashion), mostly focusing on 1400-1900, and it was so fantastic. My clothing choices make me smile in the same way as attending that course did, they may not all be useful, but something about each one made me feel happy when I chose it.
Oh, thank you Nicole! That’s very kind of you. It helps that we are in different places in the world, as the style is different everywhere.
Beautiful! I love the look with the Greece dress! And I can never resist pink. you have convinced me that I need at least one of the other colours to go with existing pieces of my wardrobe
This is so pretty and sharp - I like it - but do you think I could carry it off as a look? I can begin to see the jackets being the right weight with lighter floaty fabrics - I’ve been pairing with heavier items.
it did give me an idea for a slightly funky look that I’m going to try - will post if successful....
I like your philosophy of having beautiful pieces in your collection. I sometimes feel guilty if I don’t wear the heck out of them. But that has steered me to more utilitarian pieces. It may be time to swing back towards a couple of unique out-of-this-world pieces as a treat.
Absolutely you can carry it! Maybe it can go with any other style of white cotton dress.
Can’t wait for your pictures!
ari, the lesage suit on you took my breath away. Wow. The way you accessorized it was just beyond perfect. Thank you for sharing your photos this morning!
I wear my cardis more than my jackets these days because there is nowhere to go. I think if I had to pick a black jacket as my most worn jacket it would have to be the black robot! People are always complementing that jacket.
Thank you so much! After seen your picture of the knitted coat I went back to my local boutique and asked to switch the blue knitted coat I had reserved with the one you are wearing.
the cream/gold one is more fitted, structured, less oversize and has buttons.
This is incredibly stunning on you! I am glad you have found a version you prefer (and good to know on the difference between the 2 styles! I had hoped for the blue to be a bit more useful for me but my store hasn’t gotten it in). Now I regret passing on it. I just don’t see myself wearing a gold knit cardigan in the near future permanently working from home and with a lot less social interactions these days.Thank you so much!

trying to catch up with all the posts this week (busy week at work), but I did manage to finally pick up the knit dress in my size! Super adore this set in this colour. Also played with the black tank a few days back when I had a bit of a break. Now going to catch up on all the posts!
