I've been in that tshirt non-stop since I got it, basically wearing it, washing it at the end of the day and wearing it again the next! <br />Yes to details being essential,I apply the same rule: Polished shoes, tucked in tops, ironed shirts, belted pants, etc. certainly it is an effort but that's also what makes the look more "formal".<br />In the "extreme", it reminds me of a certain menswear - Rat Pack- style when every single part of the look is carefully thought out.

Summer used to make me more permeable to boho style, colorful, vibrant prints etc.which is not really "me". Now it's more about swapping materials, linen cotton instead of wool rather but overall my outfits keep the same basis whatever the season.Aïssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200586147804815951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692740762108343362.post-633527968859186892014-07-15T18:56:18.090+02:002014-07-15T18:56:18.090+02:00i love all of your looks, particuarly the linen tr...i love all of your looks, particuarly the linen trench ones. it's such a challenge to keep things looking elegant in the heat - but you manage to stay chic regardless! miss sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692740762108343362.post-81617890842330427632014-07-14T17:49:55.756+02:002014-07-14T17:49:55.756+02:00I love your striped t-shirt - it has such a great ...I love your striped t-shirt - it has such a great fit. I've been dreaming of a striped t-shirt as well , perhaps I'll give in. I love that linen trench of yours too, such a nice relaxed version of the traditional one. Your outfits perfectly convey the summery food you're feeling.<br /><br />I completely understand what you mean by wanting to look summery but still with a touch of formality. In Singapore it is summer year round and when you work in a very casual environment you start to "let go" a bit. I think it's a the little things that tie a look together - if I wear a t-shirt I tuck it in a little, and I always wear a belt with my jeans. linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638024559737049131noreply@blogger.com
