After a few intense months of great deals of work as well as bit play, rich as well as I made a decision to take a quick trip down to Carmel last weekend for some much-needed R&R. As previously discussed here, St. John Knits pieces are always on my packing listing regardless of the destination, so they were absolutely the very first pieces that made it into my suitcase when packing for this jaunt.
Since we were extremely laid-back during the day (beach walks as well as art gallery hopping) as well as a lot more formal for dinner at night, these lovely black as well as white pieces used the needed adaptability without forcing me to overpack.
This double-breasted white jacket with black piping was an particularly best topper since I was able to wear it with a pencil skirt for work meetings in San Francisco on Friday morning as well as then throw on these leather leggings as well as over-the-knee boots for the afternoon when we jetted out of town. I’m a significant fan of the metropolitan mix of traditional as well as edgy pieces.
I used this floral coat as well as gown set together for our a lot more formal dinner Friday evening, however both pieces would work excellent (worn together or separately) in a formal expert setting as well. I look ahead to mixing as well as matching the coat with other monochromatic pieces in my wardrobe, as well as I believe it will likewise even be an incredible statement piece over jeans, heels as well as a sweater. If you’re a fan of this black as well as white floral print, inspect out the maxi skirt version as well. It’s a genuine swoon factory.
