L’Armoire Idéale: white shirt – seven ways

This book has all kinds of interesting suggestions in it!  One of the things that the authors do is to take a simple garment and suggest seven different ways to wear it.  Now bear in mind, some of these are not necessarily something you or I might wear, but they are thought-provoking, and that has some value, right?

 

Shirt – Steffen Schraut, red pants – Moschino, black tee shirt – Dorothy Perkins

 

Gold wreath brooch – Debenhams, other brooches – Versace, skirt – Robert Rodriguez, ballet flats – Repetto, floral skirt
– Maison Martin  Margiela,  sweater – Lands’
End

Tank top – Pro Surfing, pants – Debenhams, shoes – Keds,  swimsuit – Missoni

 

Jeans – Levi’s, belt – Diane von
Furstenberg, sandals – Loeffler Randall, skirt – Haute Hippie

 

I’m going to be on vacation all next week, so you’re going to get a full week of “one garment – seven ways” while I’m out of touch.  Thanks, as always, for being here with me!
 
And if anybody can offer up better translations from the French than I have provided, please let me know; I’m always happy to learn more French.

    The white, button-front shirt is the holy grail of style, and very elusive to the small-shouldered, big-busted figure such as mine. Some of the chicest outfits I saw in Europe involved a classic white shirt: some with jeans, some with trousers, some with skirts, etc.

    To suit my colours, my best "white" shirt is ivory. As ivory shirts are hard to find I buy a quality men's shirt with no breast pocket, mother of pearl buttons and french cuffs. I have the sleeves altered for the right length. Thanks for a great series. I have created http://inspiredcapsule.blogspot.com/ for inspiration with core pieces from a capsule wardrobe.
