Whenever I add a new piece to my wardrobe, it's as if a new little object has been added to a 'fashion kaleidoscope'... resulting in new combinations, images and looks.
The playtime at home is the part I most look forward to when making a new purchase. It is all about finding out which of the existing items will work with the new addition and seeing new outfits and combinations evolve. Some of the combinations I might have anticipated while contemplating the purchase, but also when you get home, you might discover nice surprises along the way. It is a joy to see how a new piece can cast a completely different light on a cherished staple, or bring pieces together which previously had nothing in common.
The tri-coloured shoes are wonderful to play with, and since many of you are familiar with my accessories and capsule wardrobe pieces, I thought it would be fun to invite you into my closet, to discover the resulting looks and combinations together. This week is therefore called 'closet playtime', with frequent updates and pics to come.
Hope you'll have fun joining me x

Very interesting, I am waiting with curiosity! (Hope Monsieur et Madame, which I like so much, will find its place in the series).

Monsieur and Madame is of course perfect for the shoes! You can see a glimpse of it here: http://www.maitaispicturebook.com/search/label/Roger%20Vivier
DeleteYou really selected the best topic, the question each woman has in her head when heading towards the fitting room - will it work with rest of my wardrobe? I must confess that I more and more select the clothing in line with my accessories (e.g. scarves), not vice a versa. I am sure you will make wonders out of this topic.
ReplyDeleteSo true, the best wardrobe additions are those that go with many of the existing pieces! Hope you'll enjoy the series :-)
