Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Audrey

Audrey Leighton Rogers, from Frassy blog, Paris, March 2012.

On Monday I talked about the white suit and it all being a bit tricky to wear white + white in everyday life especially if you anything like me and prone to dripping/spilling things or wearing fake tan in the heat :) The way Audrey is wearing her white/off-white blazer is a great way to incorporate a white suit into your wardrobe: wear the entire suit on days when you are feeling particularly brave (the days when you are convinced a pigeon will not poop on your head* or you won't sit in something unidentifiable and icky) and wear separates (which work so well with this season's florals and prints) for all the other days!

Recreate Audrey's look (kind of):

Joseph Sir blazer (off-white), Calvin Klein Collection Jens jacket (white) or ASOS tailored blazer (white)

Add paisley print: Stella McCartney paisley print blouse, MinkPink Prince of Persia cape top, MinkPink Prince of Persia paisley shorts (great with a white blazer for when the summer heat kicks in) or Thakoon paisley printed shorts (my favourite and perfect with a white blazer)

A pair of slouchy trousers: 10 Crosby Derek Lam cinched waist carpenter pants or Alice + Olivia print Arthur pants

Rachel Comey Hitch suede perforated booties or ASOS Aqua suede ankle boots

Topshop Peter Pan collar or Karl faux leather collar

Karen Walker Helter Skelter sunglasses or ASOS oversized retro sunglasses

*This happened to me when I was lined up for coffee at a stall in Borough Market. Pigeon poop in your hair is never an attractive event.
