I was idly browsing new arrivals to embellish my "latest fashion picks" Pinterest board, when this delightful white bouclé jacket from River Island stopped me in my tracks. I love a bouclé jacket because they look so elegant and Chanel-like when worn with pearls and a skirt, but they also go brilliantly with jeans.
I paired my jacket with some polka dots in the form of a pretty across-the-body bag, black-and-white slingback shoes, both from Miss Selfridge, and a British tweed skirt from Boden.
You may notice a bit of sparkle on the tights. Fashionistas have already ditched their tights but with news of another Siberian blast due to hit the UK over Easter, I won't be losing mine any time soon. Opaque tights would look too wintry but these black sparkle tights were ideal.
The jacket has "pearl" buttons so I used a couple of chunky pearl necklaces.
So tell me ladies, do you have a bouclé jacket in your wardrobe? How do you wear it?

I do have one boucle jacket. A red Zara one bought in sale last year. I've worn that a lot with jeans.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the white one your wearing Gail. Perfect for our summer days that aren't too warm. Love the tights too. They accentuate your legs so well. Will take a look at some of those.

Thanks Laurie- I realised I didn't say where the tights came from but have corrected that now. Xx

DeleteGail, I am in LOVE with your jacket! i may just have to look into it. The shape is beautiful on you and it being white is just perfect for spring!
