Cord under the collar

driesvannoten.be

Though the spring/summer collections are already out, it sure isn’t the weather for fruity prints and pastel shift dresses where I’m blogging from. I’m still feeling pretty inspired by the autumn/winter 2010 Dries Van Noten [driesvannoten.be] collection, most especially this look [left]. It’s like Jilly Cooper and a Harvard professor had a blazer baby.

So, I found some bronze corduroy at the Cloth House [clothhouse.com] in Soho and trimmed the underside of the collar of an old chocolate brown Zara [zara.com] blazer. The result [below] was Noten-esq and is going to be on pretty high rotation in my wardrobe until the winter breaks.
