I find that the older I get, the more I value classic investment pieces in my wardrobe. They have definite purpose, but they are also a pleasure to look at as well as to wear—both well-designed and well-fitting. These two pieces above, worn by the lovely Diana Kruger are just that, and made especially chic with an easy, no-fuss updo. Do you have a favorite, classic piece, vintage or new, that you just adore?

oh wow, prettiest looks ever, so classic and feminine
ReplyDeleteI love classics! A nice trench, a timeless blouse.. and I love Diane! (though she's looking way too photoshopped in that first pic :S) x
ReplyDeleteanything Chloe makes my day!
ReplyDeleteI think this trench could be my new classic. XO
ReplyDeletefor me, it's a classic white blouse/shirt - to wear with anything from jeans to a suit - I love the trench and am thinking that is something I need to add as a classic staple to my wardrobe
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with that white blouse..gorgeous romantic details..would be able to wear to work too!
ReplyDeleteHope your week is going great Sarah :)
I have always been fond of classical, feminine looks, but I also enjoy flirting with colour.
ReplyDeleteI adore a nicely tailored trousers and cashmere jumper for the colder season. For warmer wearing I tend to lean more toward the classical black dress or the french mini shirt.
these look soo good! i would wear them... funny thing, that i might just be the opposite, in my twenties i wore nice blazers (but always dressed down to some extent... i'm not a natural born classic type), but now you mostly find me in jeans and tees. i still like shirts and blazers, but don't wear them very often. i do have a nice trech, not an ivestment piece, but it's nice. and when i was young, i had a beatiful pair of YSL pants in the reddest of reds... now, that was a piece i really adored.
ReplyDeletelots of hugs, Sarah!

Beautiful pieces!! I love that blouse.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. Trench coats are definitely timeless. I don't buy many expensive things, but I would put in good money to find that perfect trench. I'm hoping this summer will be the season I finally find one.
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with a white blouse. I love white button-ups! I can totally picture you in those two pieces, stunning :)
Beautiful, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteLove the blouse especially, and the trench is very classic.

I couldn't agree more. Classic pieces are also always a staple in my wardrobe... these photographs are gorgeous. I especially love outerwear, trenches particularly. With respect to your question, I purchased a vintage bouclé coat in black with a lovely white embroidery trim that I completely love and wear in the fall.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well, Sarah!
Take care and all the very best,
Linda, xo
Love this - especially on the effortlessly beautiful Diane Kruger.
