Little Black Suit with Vintage Carré in tie knot

Today introducing a new column for this blog. The idea is to address particular styling challenges in the form of mini-series.

The first theme is 'how to style a uniform into a look' and to find as many different ways as possible to do so. I thought the black little suit would make a fun start, as it is such a classic wardrobe staple. The LBS serves many different purposes, sometimes going from one event straight to another, from work to dinner etc. It's a perfect canvas for H it Up!

I'll be posting my future LBS pics on Sundays, thereby perhaps making Monday morning's wardrobe decisions a little bit easier...

Suggestions for future styling challenges/dilemmas are very welcome!

    Great idea for a series. This scarf becomes the focal point of the entire outfit. It looks polished.

    I am looking forward to this series as I have a *uniform* approach to dressing and am always looking for ways change it up. Merci, MaiTai!

    BM and annecychic, glad you like the idea, it should be fun! Shows so well the big impact a little extra touch has, which is why I love scarves so much.

    Hello, I noted you wrote "vintage carré", it means that you have someting vintage or you just buy in boutique? Scuse me for the question because I'd like to know if could be good as quality ti buy vintage. Sometimes I think that colors and old design are most beautiful than modern. Thank you very much.
