Easy Like Sunday Morning

by Jen on Thursday, July 11, 2013

A few weeks ago, I came across the chicest lady while walking around downtown: toting an Hermès Kelly on her forearm and sporting a combination of black cigarette trousers, a striped boatneck sweater, and an oversized camel cashmere wrap, she was the epitome of effortless elegance. Although she was older in her years, seeing the way she carried herself with such ease and grace has since been inspiring me to veer towards the simple and classic. And when I saw this sweater dress at Zara last Thursday, I knew it was the ideal piece to do just that.
Wearing: Zara dress, Stuart Weitzman sandals (similar), Proenza Schouler bag (in black here), BCBGMAXAZRIA cuff (old), Nixon watch (c/o Watch Co), House of Harlow 1960 sunglasses, Zara ring, Chanel lip Rouge Coco in Gabrielle

Jen, that lady definitely sounds very elegant and classy! I've been leaning towards more classic styles as well lately - pieces that can stand the test of time in your wardrobe. Love this look on you. The black sweater dress is the perfect combination of chic and comfort. Love how you paired it with red as well! xo

Definitely chic! I think a lot of the older women have the best style.

I think I'd be writing a similarly inspired blog post about you if I saw you walking by me in the street with that outfit! :)
