dress-up
Photographer: Gerald Estadella
Fancy dress time. Going to a charity dinner as a guest of a friend. Apart from the opportunity to check out the latest museum in Singapore , the ArtScience Museum, I think I accepted partly because I was looking forward to the thought of dressing up, and wearing some of the things in my closet that don't get much airing because of the lack of occasion.
Still, I belong to the school of preferring to be underdressed than over-dressed, even when I'm dressing up (that last sentence might not make sense on first reading).
I'm partial to an ivory Vanessa Bruno dress because I love it but don't wear it often. But I've also been boying with the idea of borrowing my sister's awesome black jacket and wearing them with my grey crepe trousers, with a simple black satin tank underneath and one of the kick-ass gold necklaces our aunt gave us in February. I'm not quite Lou Doillon in Tom Ford, but I think I should be passably presentable.
Besides, if tuxedo jackets are cool enough for Freja Beha, Lou Doillon and Emmanuelle Alt for Paris Vogue's 90th anniversay party (not to mention men in general), it's good enough for my dinner.

Lindsay K: I'm glad you see my point :) I agree about a classic Le Smoking - don't need the whole suit, the jacket will do.
hannah-rose: I also love the idea that you can wear it over and over with some variation but without needing a whole new outfit every time.
pret a porter: If I had a velvet one like yours... ;)
Pret a Porter P: I like the velvet lapels too, but I think I'd prefer slimmer ones.
Love that picture, you're spot-on. It's not that I don't like the way an armful of bracelets look, but they do clatter in the table when I type (and I type a lot for work) and I end up taking them off anyway.
