(via The Sartorialist)

I love the navy coat over the denim jacket over the cream woollen jumper over the check shirt…  And the red lipstick and nails and purse.  Very chic.  Very Parisienne.

You’d have to be pretty slim to get away with wearing that much fabric and still look so svelte.  Demin in particular is really bulky.  I think I would actually find it uncomfortable, in a restricted-movement kind of way.

On the other hand, if it’s a fine merino wool, and a well-worn denim jacket, and a nice roomy coat, and a thin cotton shirt…  that might not be so bad.

These are the thoughts that occupy my brain in the dying days of the eight week long summer holidays.
