Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2012/13....Before Stephane Rolland

Before Stephane Rolland, Paris, July 2012.

Yesterday, when it was teaming with rain here in London, I saw 3 separate girls wearing army jackets/anoraks over dresses and thought they looked great. Inspired by their looks, I decided to post the photos of this girl and Jac (see post above) from couture in Paris....both wearing an army jacket in very different ways. If you don't already have one in your wardrobe, vintage/charity stores always seem to have a few in stock (there is one vintage shop in the Marais in Paris which always seems to have a couple available).

Recreate her look (kind of):

Paul & Joe Sister Spinner cotton-twill jacket, Topshop Army shirt jacket, Etoile Isabel Marant Alan jacket, Topshop khaki army jacket or Thakoon Addition Flower camo utility jacket (for those who want pretty + gritty)

BB Dakota Macyn lace skirt, ASOS Dress Gallery lace skirt, Club Monaco Julie silk lace skirt or Magda Berliner lace ribbon skirt

Topshop Sparkle Flower loop earrings, Bauble Bar Iced Rose drops or Marni Figurine and crystal drop earrings

Balenciaga bag, See by Chloe Bunny keychain, or  Gucci faux patent leather parrot keychain (he reminds me of one of the parrot characters out of Rio!)
