Sunshine & Shadows, Into The Woods Wearing Baukjen

How would you describe your personal style of dressing? It is not something I often think about but the subject came up in a conversation last week. It made me think long and hard, I even clicked through some of my old outfit posts there are some horrors in there, talk about evolving style! I love to ‘mix and mash‘ and prefer to wear clothes by brands like Baukjen that do the same. So, to cut a long story short; I am a classically casual ‘jeans and a nice top’ girl and I always will be…

Wearing Baukjen again!

The classic Boyfriend Jeans

Did you see me wearing my Baukjen boyfriend jeans on the beach?Soft and comfy they wash up a treat. Please dont tell anyone but I didn’t even iron them.

Yep, he’s still up there with all his mates!

The Jasmine Blouse:

Last Sunday I took my boyfriend jeans and my old man (with the camera) for a stroll in our local bluebell woods. This time I teamed them with this pretty Jasmine blouse.

Appropriately, this delicately pretty Georgette fabric blouse, has bluebells and other meadow flora featured on the hand painted print. Semi-transparent, its cleverly lined for modesty at the front and left sheer on the sleeves and back.

Cool, comfortable and smart enough to wear to the pub afterwards for tea!

Van-Dal Burnham leather mules in Midnight Suede

Did I mention I adore suede shoes? Always my first choice so much softer than leather, in summer.I am wearing the Burnham Mules in Midnight, they also come in very pretty Tan colours:

Wider fitting shoes:

Van- Dal also produce wider fitting sizes, as buying shoes and boots in wide fittings can be a challenge. So Van Dal have provided you with a helpful wide fitting shoes Buyers Guide, read more here.

Van -Dal Shoe Buying guide; some useful advice…

When buying a new pair of shoes, the golden rule is to buy what fits, not what is written on the box end label.
Many ladies have several size of clothes in their wardrobe, say 12, 14 & 16. This is the same for shoes, different makes or styles may mean you could have 5, 5.5 or 6 in your collection.
The size you think you are is a starting point, a guide, to purchasing your new shoes.
Your feet will be bulkier at the end of the day, than at the beginning, so make allowances for this.
Always try the new shoes on in a standing position, rather than sitting down, and walk around in them to ensure they do not slip at the heel. If this happens, go down half a size.

I’m wearing:

1. Baukjen Boyfriend Jeans

A contemporary classic. With a flattering, feminine fit, a tapered leg and just the right amount of stretch. Wear them full-length or roll up the hems.

2. Jasmine Georgette Blouse

Designed in a poet’s blouse shape, and featuring elegant ruffled neckline and cuffs, this blouse makes Spring Summer dressing a breeze.

3. Burnham Midnight Suede Mules

These new block heel mules are sure to add a fun splash of colour to your summer wardrobe! Burnham combines a midnight navy suede upper with purple, magenta and lilac suede straps. Available in two width fitting options; E wide fitting and EEE extra wide fitting, Burnham is a versatile sandal for day or evening wear.

4. Baukjen Reversible gold buckle Leather belt

A modern accessory staple to tailor to any look. Punctuate your outfits with our classic, premium leather belt. This one is topped with subtle gold hardware and is cleverly designed to be reversible, so you can wear it with everything. 100% European leather.

My Style likes and dislikes:

In case you were interested here is a list of my personal likes and dislikes;

I like:

Casual classic style, ie. Levi 501’s with a white shirt.
Black is and will forever be a favourite colour of mine as it can be worn anytime, anywhere.
I love, love, love suede shoes.
I adore linen in summer and pairing ditsy liberty prints with denim. Put them all together in one outfit and I’m happy.
My knitwear to contain real wool.

I dislike:

Man made fabrics that give you static shocks.
Ruffles, frills and large prints – unless they are made by Stine Goya!
High heels, I think that one may be age related?
Jumpers that are badly constructed as in ‘cut’ from pieces of fabric and sewn together, as opposed to being knitted into shape and then sewn. Far more luxurious and always a better fit.
Skinny or tight jeans (I mean no offense, its just my personal opinion )
