I may not be posting much in the next week or two as packing and moving are currently overwhelming my life! But I had to show you my French-inspired outfit a la charity shops.
In a word: linen.
Crisp linen blouse: found at a local charity shop. Designer linen scarf, found at Oxfam in Beaconsfield. Pink linen-blend pants by Planet - they`re my latest charity shop acquisition that I`m thrilled about, and only 5 pounds! (No, they are not lopsided, it`s just that I was leaning into my hip).
The leather cut-out sandals with real cork wedge: made in Spain and only a few pounds at a local charity shop.
I think the success of this outfit is largely in the details. The scarf, which I have tried to drape as artlessly as I could to imitate what I perceive as the French **deshabille** way of dressing, carelessly but oh so stylishly.
The pink leather messenger bag (made in France, aptly enough), picked up by my twin sis pour moi in France when she went last year.
The Olsen necklace pendant thrifted for a pound. I love the Robin`s Egg blue tone.
The Bibi belt cuff in the same blue hue, dug up at a fab pop-up shop & closing sale - love!!
