Fashion week isn't all about prancing around in couture t-shirts and impractical chiffon palazzo pants (one of my more outré outfits), hiding your semi-professional camera inside the latest round of canvas gift bags so as not to be mistaken for a streetstyle blogger or - Heaven forbid - an actual professional. Some days it just all gets too much and you throw on the comfiest clothing you find lying on the floor next to your bed before you drag yourself down to Somerset House. This is exactly what I did on Sunday (I lied in the title, so sue me) when I took a couple of hours out of work to check out Jeffrey Michael's afternoon presentation at St Martin's Lane and wandered into town to grab a drink with my blogging buddies, including Jen who took these photos. Thankfully my pink velour Juicy Couture tracksuit wasn't the closest thing at hand when I woke up that day so I just threw my favourite doggy jumper over these pseudo-combat skinny jeans and accessorised up with some tinsel and a fur handbag. Please excuse the tired expression, I am a terrible photographer's subject. I'm never going to make it as a muse.
Wearing: German shepherd angora jumper by Balenciaga, skinny jeans by Odyn Vovk, tinsel headband by John Rocha, green shearling camera bag by Jas MB and Dr Martens brogues. Nail art by NCLA.

Love this outfit so much!
ReplyDeleteI think your new haircut will have people mistaking you for an actual professional.
Oh darling, I love you for, and not in spite of, your shaky grip on reality; only on Planet Ford could wearing '[a] German shepherd angora jumper by Balenciaga, skinny jeans by Odyn Vovk, tinsel headband by John Rocha, green shearling camera bag by Jas MB and Dr Martens brogues. Nail art by NCLA' count as 'Casual Friday' and not 'one of [your] more outré outfits'.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wouldn't have you any other way :-)

DEAR GOD. I'll have to start wearing something *really* ridiculous then!
ReplyDeleteI see I'm going to have to let you into the rest of my wardrobe...
ReplyDeleteHaha, quire honest post. This is odd but your headband made me think that you look like jesus a bit.
ReplyDeleteActually Our Lord and Saviour was my style inspiration for most of last season. But now I've cut my hair off and gone over to the dark side...
ReplyDeleteYOU GOT THE BAG?? It's STUNNING!!!

haha Pink velour tracksuit, i have one in black, please don't shoot me now! but it is the most comfy outfit i have!!! and again you are wearing one of my favorite garments ever! fell in love with the sweater from the moment i saw it because a german sheperd can look so tacky (do you know those paintings??)! so it is actually a jumper with a little bit of irony!
ReplyDeleteThanks - isn't she? I like stroking her in bed...
ReplyDeleteOMG you have one!! My Mum keeps threatening to buy one but she knows how badly I will freak out... Then again, Anna dello Russo always wears one when flying!
ReplyDeleteHaha, we must have EXACTLY the same fashion tastes.
It's not so often to read on a fashion blog the truth abt comfort of the clothes:)
ReplyDeleteYour jumper shouts: I wanna be your dog!

ReplyDeleteSo amazing. He is the reason I broke my G-A-Y virginity...
ReplyDeleteWe've all done it. For some reason this season lots of people thought I was a professional photographer. HELLO the professionals have way better cameras than a 550D!! Almost everyone I know has an SLR now...
