a classic is a classic...

After spending the past weekend watching fashion-y flicks like Coco Before Chanel and September Issue, I became inspired again by all things classic. Simplicity is a beautiful thing if you avoid being boring. There is a very fine line between the two but the Chanel movie really re-taught me the whole theory that less is more. And simplicity will always remain modern and clean. The classic Chanel suit is really so elegant and timeless. Pair the original jacket with a pair of faded denim trousers and you have a younger, modern version of the classic.

However, the modern version of the classic is more my speed. The detail of the cut-sleeve and the front open pleat in the skirt reminds me that appropriate black suiting doesn't have to be boring. Alas, I wish I had the $$$ to buy me one of these. Perhaps I should set up a Chanel suit fund, no? Every woman should have a Chanel suit in my opinion.
