Let me get right down to business: I think this outfit is probably in my top five of favourite outfits ever featured on this blog. Everything just works here, and I love every single piece on its own as well as in combination with the other items. The trousers are an amazing find from Uniqlo: I'd been looking for the perfect pair of high waisted, cropped, wide leg denim trousers since forever, and I randomly stumbled upon these marked down to just ten bucks! Currently the style has been reduced even further, to just €6. Be sure to size down though: I usually wear a 26/27 in denim, and I bought one pair in a 24 and one in a 25. These are super stretchy so don't worry about them being too small! You'll need them to fit snugly on the hips to balance out the wide leg.
Also new: this straw bag. Straw bags are arguably one of the most randomly huge trends of summer 2017. I even remember the last time this trend came around, which must have been somewhere around 2011 when all the girls who (like me) were obsessed with Alexa Chung, vintage, bohemian style and 60s Jane Birkin. Where Audrey Hepburn's quirk is her pet deer, Jane stood out by carrying this adorable little straw bag around everywhere. Including with her evening dresses.
It was a great look then, and it's a great look now. Mine is just €15 from Dille & Kamille! Kinda cool to be wearing such a 60s trend piece with an item that actually dates back to the 60s: this vintage silk kimono coat that I'm 100% obsessed with! It's from Trendlistr, a great place to browse and buy authentic, high quality vintage. Trendlistr sets itself apart from other platforms by curating what's on offer to ensure only the nicest, best photographed items go online so you don't have to sift through junk for hours until you stumble onto a treasure like this kimono coat. Have I mentioned that I'm in love with this kimono coat? Because I am. I currently have my eye on this stunning 50s prom dress.
