Tuxedo







I always say :

"krap budget maakt creatief "
Roughly translated into = a small budget makes you more creative...

Last Monday I was at one of my favourite stores in Antwerp, Bellerose...they have really good stuff, love the fit of their pants and I buy my occasional tuniques and blazers from their shop...
I tried on a tuxedo blazer for girls and just loved it...Now as fashion has become very breezy and changes almost every month, I found the pricetag a bit to high for this 'lust-list item'...

Now this morning when I took my daily breakfast at Mendy's, my eye fell on the window display of Hennes & Maurits...
Mendy's is located in a very nice little mall and opens early and it's nice to know you can walk into the H&M store just before the other shops open.
After the find in the window, I ran upstairs to the first floor and looked for this tuxedo blazer...
Size 38 and yesssss, it fitted me perfectly !!
Me so happy !
I must even say that it fitted me much better than the Bellerose one, sorry guys !
So for nearly 1/4 of the Bellerose pricetag - I found myself a pretty chic & cheap item that will just do fine !
Will pimp it up with a Hermès scarf and post you guys a picture of that later on this week !

a small budget does make one more creative! (and in US english 'crap' is a word for 'shit'!)

anyway, yes, cator could model for armani underwear, but there is something to be said for the pencil and the imagination of an artist!! ;)

love kate moss in anything especially a tuxedo!

I love tuxedo blazers and want everyone of them in your photos! Seriously though, I'm inspired to take one I bought a few years ago to my local seamstress and get it form fitted to perfection.

You are so funny! Lets say I am a multi-task nanny...actually not only a nanny, but I do everything from house, nanny, computers and cooking. But stealing husbands is one thing that I keep out of my curriculum. That's definitely a no no! Hahahaha

Thank you for the compliment! ;-)

Congrats on your find! Hopefully by now you've worn it enough. Kate Moss= the woman of my style dreams...well her and Garance Dore.....
