No sneakers allowed.
Once in a while there is a piece that makes me think, “that’s going to be mine”. No ifs, ands or buts. Last year, Karl Lagerfeld came out with the Ultimate Icon collection, in honour of the Met’s 2023 Costume Institute Exhibition (Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty), and the iconic fan that Karl always carried around took centre stage in the accessories collection. There were a lot of great items (belts, boots, wallets) but this bag was what stole my heart.
And it was going to be mine.
This sheer, mesh-like dress was from Calvin Klein’s collection for last year’s pride month. It is very fitted, so I enjoy it more on winter, when I can wear it with compressing leggings underneath.
I keep putting off publishing outfits with my new Karl Lagerfeld Archive fan bag because I wanted to review it first, but it’s becoming difficult since it’s one of my favourites.
If you didn’t know the song, now you know, your life is better now. And if you know what youtuber I’m referencing with that last sentence, give yourself a cookie. Go on. Blame the calories on me.
Given the tag line of this blog, it’s ironic that the first picture of this post is a display of sneakers. But these are so original and colourful that they made it. Still not for me, still sneakers, but I reckon they’re cute.
Here I am again with another high-waisted skirt. They’re flattering – really elongate the body. The outfit was all in neutral tones, an unintentional match for the clouded, windy day.
Very windy.
