We love a new season here at L'Armoire..., especially spring. And what better way to put a spring in your step than the first addition to your new season wardrobe of true feminine fashion in a collection of romantic colours that include mushroom, blush, nude and clay teamed with all tones of soft khaki. The 70's are back with avengance, giving us draped jersey maxi dresses that are totally wearable right now and then later in high summer with the switch of accessories (minus a couple of layers!).
Fresh in are goodies from Day and Malene Birger to get us started.
Day's skinny cargo pants are the answer to your 'tired of denim' dilemma, but still want an on trend hard working wardrobe staple. These are the most flattering cargo's around with carefully place side pockets slimming thighs before our very eyes! Team with cuban heeled sued ankle boots now, and pumps or toe posts when weather warms up.
This khaki 'Andina' maxi dress from Malene Birger, can be worn straight away with a long sleeve basic underneath, a denim jacket and scarf. Add a pair of our Falke tights for warmth with flat biker or pirate boots.The dress will double up in summer worn as seen with Malene Birger's skinny caramel leather wrap belt, grecian sandals or with the new block heel straight off the catwalks, giving your outfit that 70's vibe.
An over sized blazer brings a little structure to many outfits in a totally effortless way. With a collar turned here and a sleeve rolled there, Malene Birger's black boyfriend style has a light pinstripe lining that peeks out on the cuffs and stops the jacket from looking too overdone. Wear now over fine knits and layers of tee's knotting a cashmere scarf for warmth around the neck. Wear for spring/summer as an evening cover up over your favourite cocktail dress. Elle McPherson is rarely seen without hers!
We suggest you go and see The King's Speech at the cinema (if you haven't already). As well as being a fantastic film starring the dreamy Colin Firth (now an Oscar nominee), we get a small yet delightful glimpse of the infamous Wallis Simpson's wardrobe. Known for her chic and glamorous style during the 1930's and 1940's, we're sure there will be a nod to her fashion influence to come very soon. So take note from us first and invest in vintage beads, statement brooches, tassel necklaces (to be worn back to front with a backless dress as seen in the film), and pearls.
