Classics Results

About 3 weeks ago I asked you to send me photos of your wardrobe essentials or 6 pieces that you would chose to only wear for the next year. Only 5 people took part and only 3 got their photos to me on time BUT massive thanks to you gorgeous people... I realise it was probably a pain but I really appreciate the effort and it's helped me decide what to design for my classics collection! PLUS you are now famous............ ;)

Frankie couldn't live without....

Her black skinny jeans which she wears to work as well as

casual daywear...

A classic cream lacey top which can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for a cute

daytime look. It can also be worn with many different colours.

A grey boyfriend blazer, very versatile smart/

casual...

Classic black leather jacket (a piece that will never go out of fashion)...

A faux fur jacket (also a timeless

classic)...

A smart white shift dress which can be worn for several occasions and can be the base to create many different looks.

I think these are all great examples of key wardrobe pieces - all comfortable, flattering shapes, simple colours, quality fabrics and versatile (could be worn day or night). Thanks Franks you BABE <3

Jade is a lover of vintage fashion and has done a lot of work on sustainable fashion & textiles. She runs a really interesting blog which you may like to visit ( www.venerableclothing.blogspot.com )

She made a resolution to not buy ANY new clothes for a whole year (AND has managed it so far!!) Fairplay Jade :) Her 6 essentials are all quite personal to her and she relys on them when having one of those "What am I going to wear!?" days. x

1) Beige crepe dress from 'The Story of O", a vintage shop on Hyde Park Corner in Leeds.

Jade always feels comfortable wearing this dress as she feels it represents her personality well. The colours of the print are also her favourite.

2) 1960's hand-embroidered white russian blouse which was a gift from a friend. Jade loves folk art so the pretty details make this blouse special as well as it's senitimental value.

It is also quite versatile so can be worn with a skirt or trousers or underneath a cardigan or jacket.

 

 3) Winter coat with fake fur trim from a vintage market in her home town, Lancaster. She loves the beautiful bold teal colour and says she couldn't live without it - a good winter coat is the number 1 wardrobe essential I think (especially in Leeds!) Brrrrrrrr !

 4) Woolen shirt/jacket. Jade loves this garment because it has short sleeves but is still warm which makes a nice change from wearing bulky jumpers in winter. She can also rely on it looking smart.

 5) Summer dress from H&M. Jade says she relies on this kind of 50's style printed dress over the summer 

(she has quite a few similar dresses) but loves this one in particular because of the cute flamingo print and simple shape which can be styled nicely with accessories.

6) Finally, a 50's fitted dress from East London Trading Company which fits really well and is versatile so she can wear it to work or out. 

At last but not least... Dani :)

Her wardrobe essentials include...

A smart, high quality duffel coat from United colours of

Benetton which she wore almost everyday to work this

winter and also for nights out. The colour and style are

both very classic.

A simple stretchy and structured black

mini skirt from H&M which she says she wears ALL the time and pretty much goes

with everything.

A knitted jumper from a charity shop in

Argentina which she bought during her

travels so it's sentimental and brings back

good memories. Dani says it's also very cosy and she loves the pretty patterns and colours which make it unique and special (no one else is wearing it that's for sure!) xxx
