This outfit was inspired by this cute little tee I found. I couldn’t resist… The luxe velvet blazer and the soft cable knit beret just gave me all these French girl vibes and I had to put them all together. If you’ve been a longtime reader, you know I like incorporating current trends in a classic way so the pieces last longer in my closet. In this look, I’ve incorporated a beret, velvet, a graphic tee, raw-hem denim, and a block heel… All current trends, but none of these pieces are too extreme so you can get much more wear out of them.

Fit Details… My favorite piece in this look is probably the velvet blazer; it has the most beautiful details including striped lining and pink interior trim. It runs true to size, as does the tee I paired with it. The jeans I’m wearing run true to  size and are in a nice thin, stretchy, flexible fabric… If you’re in between sizes, I would go a size down due to the stretch. They are super comfortable and would look amazing paired with a big sweater for the holidays.

    I love your blog, its refreshing and has always seemed authentic! I also love your style and your handbag collection! I was wondering if you would recommend the chanel bag as an ‘everyday’ type bag, I have a M/L black flap, but it does not hold as much as I would like for everyday use. Do you recommend the jumbo? I always thought silver hardware was easier to wear, but the gold seems “classic”. Would love to know what you think about the gabrielle hobo they just came out with!

    • Hi Aviva,

      I do recommend the Chanel Classic Flap as an everyday bag. I think both the Maxi and Jumbo sizes hold A LOT – I can fit my wallet, cards, phone, keys, and makeup in mine with no problems. I have mostly silver hardware and I tend to mix metals with jewelry, etc. I’ve heard that the gold eventually shows wear and tear but I actually haven’t experienced that (at least yet) with my beige + gold Medium Classic Flap.

      I love the versatility of the Gabrielle bag; the way it can be worn crossbody or on the shoulder, etc. But… If I’m being honest, I think the distressed leather looks a bit cheap. That’s just my personal opinion and I hate saying that about one of my favorite designers. I am waiting for them to come out with the Gabrielle in a suede or tweed in place of the distressed leather. I’ve heard they will offer these options this A/W and for Resort and S/S18 as well. Fingers crossed!!
