Here is my current wheeze, which creates a fabulous synergy between wardrobe and wallet. Here’s the thing, when you shop the sales scrutinise what you can currently purchase that could potentially be a compadre to your winter look. There are so many hybrid items out there at fabulously discounted prices and Mrs V sees no sense at all in clutching on to the last straws of summer clothing, but would rather invest in items that cross the not so great season/climate divide.

Starting with the halter neck top and proceeding in a clockwise direction, these items are perfect examples of winter wardrobe accoutrements;

Rodarte Paisley Halterneck Top  There are a few variations on this theme. My point is that under an evening jacket this is going to seriously take some beating.

Public School Sweatpants  Athleisure is dug in, will transcend seasons and encompasses the 24 hour clock. Try out for the team.

We can pay and display, tiny glimpses, or the full on armpit to armpit, off the shoulder look. Ok, it might possibly be reasonably said that we may give some viewers the cold shoulder, but not before we’ve given them a clear shot of a very sexy, feminine piece of our bodies, without it being x rated. We can go pretty or we can go raunchy. There are no holes barred on our shirts, T’s, blouses, dresses, the lot. We are naked…in patches.

The Big Squeeze

This photo is not a close up of the minute details of this terrific little piece, but more of a lifestyle suggestion, for when you all wear it. Truly my intention is that, although it has satin lapels and is clearly a mini dinner jacket, we all wear it instead of a cardigan. It needs to be worn tight and because of it’s deconstructed feel it’s very comfy. Do not be afraid of the tailored Tuxedo allure as you can see what I’ve done with it.
