Jacket: Urban Outfitters. Shorts & grey jumper: H&M Men. Boots: Nine West. Shades: Ray Ban. Satchel: Cambridge Satchel Company. (11" inch). (Also avail in US in yellow/red/brown here). Watch: Gucci
Michael calls the satchel air traffic control. Hold one in each hand and I could guide a plane from the runway into it's gate. Actually I can visualize that.....
This one and the kelly green are my faves. Apart from the obvious S/S season, I'm reeeeeally looking forward to wearing them in winter - less expected and so more fun I think?
I found these shorts at H&M men and reeeeeally loved the straight cut - like a pair of trousers hacked off. Sometimes I want to be a bit more androgynous. You don't see women's shorts like that so I grabbed these in white and in pale pink (they're cheap and come in about 6 colours so go try a pair on). The shorts and jacket don't match but it doesn't matter. It's the same colour fam - good enough.
ps. The winner of the Deep Sea Fish ring is Becky Colley. Congratulations :-)
absolutely great! the combination of white and grey and this colour pop! i love it
ReplyDeleteKaren, I love this outfit! I mean, I love all your outfits, but something about this one is just so unique! I definitely love shopping in the men's dept, but I never try their bottoms. You are the second blogger this week who I've seen rock some men's bottom-wear, which leads me to believe it is a sign that I need to scope some of their stuff out, haha!

Anon - its called EPPONIE from the Vintage Collection for N West. Bought over a year ago ish. Check eBay?
ReplyDeleteShanaglee - lol! and I'm already thinking I want to go back to straight. We are never satisfied...
how do you find men's clothes that don't fall off of you? I'm assuming we're about the same size--which is SMALL, and I had my eye on this gorgeous men's jacket the other day, but even the small was laughably large on me. what's a size 2 to do?
ReplyDeleteThis truely might be my favorite outfit that you have posted! Well at least top 5! I really love it!
ReplyDeletewow! the most awesome bag!
ReplyDeletei am in LOVE with this entire outfit. i ordered the neon orange version of the cambridge satchel 3 weeks ago and i cannot wait to get it. you look amazing karen. i wait to wear it in the winter too! LOVE
ReplyDeletemademoiselle mimi
OH WOW you look stunning !! Great combination. I've ordered my neon yellow Cambridge Satchel bag today :).
