I can’t believe that it has taken over FOUR months to finally write about this. Blame the USPS system. Blame Royal Mail. Blame the bizarrely arbitrary systems that these organisations instill to the detriment of customers. A package flown from Florida from the lovely Dree at the Urban Collection somehow found it difficult to make it over to Blighty and in months of delay wound up back in Florida in a silly cycle that benefited nobody. Priority Mail aided the second attempt and FINALLY I’ve got my Tadashi jumpsuit. I shall always look upon this jumpsuit as my favourite one for the sole reason that it went through such a brunt of a journey to make it onto my Ikea shelving unit. That it has other redeeming qualities also elevates it…
The sheer panels, the cris crossing action and the simple/complex contrast of it makes it near impossible for me to style it up. I don’t want to do anything to it other than wear it by its lonesome beautiful self, albeit with some gigantic heels…
Then again, a similarly simple/complex garment like the Bordelle cage can also be an optional companion…
In the end, I said no to the Lanvin black jacket that also made a silly pointless journey over here and back and instead, have fulfilled my lace pants fixation. Some of you have a mistrust of trousers pants with elasticated waistbands (the CdG x H&M dropped crotch par example….). I’m all for them and I say a big YAY to them for the reason that I don’t have to worry about them not fitting AND I can now proceed to eat my own weight on roast potatoes (the boyf and I are going to venture to try doing them in goose fat…). These lace ones have been on the Urb site for a while and handily augment my sheer trew collection (let’s try and get the number up to five shall we?). I’ll be trialling these with various things going on underneath…. today the sun can catch the light of shiny silver…
This lace pants are so cool!!
that jump suit is amazing looks like vintage thierry mugler
triangle love

LOVE that jumpsuit on you. It fits perfectly.
And goose fat on potatoes – sounds sinfully rich. Go for it!
The jumpsuit is absolutely gorgeous but when you added the bordelle cage it was something else entirely. I love it!
i dont think it needs anything, it’s perfect! you look so different in a simple outfit.
I really like those outfits! The first one is amazing 🙂 you look so stylish 🙂
Both the jumpsuit and the lace pants are fabulous. I love the lace pants.. I’m loving lace so much at the moment.
That jumpsuit wouldn’t look better on anyone else. I’ve been hunting for something unique to wear to an upcoming holiday party and that would be so perfect.
love the jumper!
That jumpsuit is the best thing I’ve seen you wear ever!
I saw those lace trousers on the site and wondered if you would! Well you have and they look great.
Potatoes roasted in goose fat are things of joy and scrumminess!
wtf!!!!
i wanna curse i love that jump suit so much!!! where do you find this stuff..
i lovee it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m in love with that jumpsuit. Do you think it will marry me?
Oh MY! The Tadashi jumpsuit with your ‘cage’ G O R G E O U S!!! Love your lace trews outfit too! Susie, you never cease to amaze me!
That jumpsuit is amazing, you wear it well.
that jumpsuit is amazing!
and your lace pants are gorgeouss 🙂
you look great!
that jumpsuit is really sexy!
That jumpsuit is perfection! So sad it took so long to get to you!
Egads all this stuff is so wonderful and I adore both pieces and the outfits you styled them into!
That jumpsuit is INCREDIBLE. I am so jealous!
I’ve never seen a jumpsuit fit so well on anyone. It’s daring but refined- and completely gorgeous.
Maybe it’s just the weather, but I’m wondering why I haven’t seen you in a lot of color lately? With the exception of that one color/rainbow post you did, most of your outfits have been rather neutral on the color scale. You’ve always been the fashion blogger who wore the brightest, most vibrant outfits. Is it a change of aesthetic, or just the drab weather/economy/news/etc…?
Annie: Interesting observation… I am one for colour but yes, I guess my mood is rather subdued of late…plenty on the mind… I will rectify this in due course…
perfection! I love them both on you! And while the Lanvin jacket is hanging in the studio and continues to be adored everytime I pass it (makes me think of our friendship), I am SO GLAD you bought the lace pants. They were meant to be yours!
xoxo!
