Minimalism



Much has been said about the return of grown-up dressing and the latest minimalism trend, so I'll keep it brief. Knicker-flashing-porno-chic is dead, replaced by an elegant pared-down aesthetic. Hallelujah.

I adore barroque, but respect all tastes.
Have you consider to remove the words you have to write everytime people comment?. Most Spanish bloggers got together and delete it. it makes much easier to commet. And by NOT allowing the anonymous, you stop spam.
I would love to know how you feel about it.

I had barely caught up with the knicker flashing. I am so behind the times.

I love the minimalist look and luckily have plenty of things I've had for years that will work. I love the jacket and trousers. I must have a look in Hobbs. Have a good weekend xx

Vintage Vixen said...

Who'd have thought a beige trouser suit could look that good? Not for me though, I'm far too trashy. xxx

Love this picture (including the model's side fringe with long hair). The kind of clothes you love forever and so easy to wear. I need more of this in my wardrobe! xx
