the humble sweater

Sweaters - A.P.C.

I'm not usually a one for motifs or logos on my clothing. The only logo I can just about agree with is the double c on my chanel bag. If my items do have any sort of logo it has to be discreet, not in your face. But for some reason i am drawn to this navy sweater by A.P.C. with the logo on the front. I really don't know why, maybe my ever growing crush on A.P.C. designs is taking over. But then I feel compelled to follow my simplistic initiative and purchase the simple grey sweat, but then what is the point in forking out £130, without any person being able to have any recognition of the brand and therefore quality (to the untrained eye that is)? I just don't want to appear a brand whore? 
What do you think?

a bit of suede

Jumper - Cos, Skirt, Isabel Marant Étoile, Ballerina's - A.P.C.
Everyone has to have a bit of suede in their life don't they? Especially in navy in the style of a mini skirt, with rather useful pockets to also add to its perfection. Also the smell of suede is unbeatable.

Coat

Coat - Isabel Marant Étoile, Ballerinas - A.P.C., Bag, Chanel

I think it is always difficult to find the perfect coat, the fabric, thickness of the fabric, the cut, the detailing, length. I would love to have a coat made specially to my measurements and my choice of design. 

I like the look of a mixture of a pea coat and a military coat. 

The thing that I find irritating about coats is their collars. As I am petite I feel they overtake my neck and become the focus of the coat. 

It has taken me around 2 months (maybe more actually) to make a decision wether to actually purchase this one by Isabel Marant. I like the way it is collarless due to my problem and the styling is exactly what I have been looking for. My only worry was the length as it may be too long for me. It is quite long, just above my knee, compared to the lucky model where it was mid knee. But I like it! I think it fits me right and if it was any shorter I would feel slightly too exposed (and maybe chilly) when wearing it in the autumn/winter. 

I was also sceptical about the price but I think the designer quality will last me longer and I can wear it for more autumn/winter seasons to come.
