so frenchy so chic. pass me the pastries please.

Mon cheri.  Merci beaucorp.  Deja vu.  Ensuite.  Okay so that is about the extent of my grasp on the loveliness that is the French language – and admittedly I googled the correct spelling/meaning behind the first couple.   And then threw the last two in for good measure – even though technically they really have nothing to do with anything and are not even pretty words.  Oh.  So although I may not have the foreign language skills down pat, when it comes to today’s outfit I have hit the nail on the head (or the frog with the baguette if you want to get right into it).   Utilising the red black and white trend from my overindulgence in Sussan’s sale frenzy yesterday – today’s outfit is decidedly Parisienne chic:

See?  Even David the category buyer who comes from the book industry and knows nothing whatsoever about fashion told me I looked decidedly french.  Fab.  That is conclusive enough for moi.

So today's outfit includes the black and white striped knit bought yesterday from the Sussan super sale ($30 in store on sale Sussan).  Has a lovely contrasting silver zip feature that you cannot see in the pics - love it.  Worn over tomato red Zara cuffed man style pants ($25 eBay.  These babies fit amazingly, and are just the right length to be the most flattering on the leg), and then teamed with Seed Femme black ankle boots (yes, these are the same as the neutral ones I wear quite often.  FAB shape, perfect sized heel and super comfortable.  Wish they did them in all colours).  I have also added in a Seed Femme black and white colour block scarf - of which I decided not to wear.  OH and in the last image - I have added a black/cream/white checked People Tree handwoven draped jacket (as it was cold/wet/rainy at 5:30am this morning.  Hello Autumn - oh how I missed you).  This is it:

 

Isn't she beautiful?  AND she is doing wonders for the environment, as People Tree is a certified fair trade retailer.  FAB.  Gorgeous and a charity ambassador - what a hardworking coat.  She should change her name to Angelina.

Here is some inspiration shots for today's outfit:



Thats amore - oh wait.  Hang on... I think that may be Italian.....
