keep it simple

21 June 2011 by Carolina Engman

MONDAY. Rediscovered these Whyred pants in the back of my closet the other day and decided to take them out for a spin. They are one of those classic pieces that I keep returning to over and over again (much like the rest of the garments and accessories in this post which you might have noticed). Threw on the Marni’s to add some edge and I must say that they are actually surprisingly comfortable. As much as I love dressing up in beautiful dresses and sky high stilettos, simple outfits like this one are my favorite.

Karen Walker Sunglasses. Zara jacket. Whyred top. Whyred pants. AA bag. Marni shoes. Michael Kors watch.

I purchased a white Elizabeth and James jacket yesterday with black lapels and now I am so excited to put it on with a suit style look … something simple. Ironically, I’ve plotted an outfit with that and a green vintage necklace of my grandmother’s … what is it about white, black and green. Stunning!
