These are the last of my Euro-photos, and the only ones in an actual work outfit. Mixing masculine and feminine pieces is a recurring look for me; it makes me stand a little straighter (other examples here, here and here).
Since
I knew I'd be travelling between meetings by metro and through parks, I
went the sensible route with flats. And I have this weird thing against
skirts and flats, hence the pants. A French braid, an oversized multi-strand pearl necklace and deep rose lipstick were the feminine counterpoints to patent and brass brogues and light grey wool trousers.

Great mix of masculine and feminine! Your hair looks great too!
ReplyDeleteThose brogues are pure LOVE, Kat. I think they are so awesome! I've been pining for a pair of mine for a while now but can't decide whether or not I want them in a neutral, pastel, or bright shade! AND how adorable is your french braid?
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I don't think your thing against skirts and flats is as odd as you think. Although I do do it on occasion, if I'm in a rush to get somewhere that I can later change into heels, it's definitely not what I consider a flattering look. Besides, if you're going to go for a menswear look, why not go all the way and do brogues and trousers? Yours are a perfect match, and the pearls add just the right touch of femininity to the look :)
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
