Monday and the weekdays

I wore this outfit a few days ago and felt like a classic Chanel character; inspired by "Chanel girls" (last seen here; here; here; here; here and here). It was perfect with these spectator boots but I am going to replace less "wintry" footwear - I have lot of alternatives (I am thinking of these, these, these, these and these.)

oversize black tweed dress - Monsoon

ace and other black brooches - Chanel and vintage

CC necklace and mother of pearl necklaces - Chanel and vintage

embellishes black leather moto gloves - Karl Lagerfeld

handmade knitted beanie by mom with Chanel earring and bobby pin as pins
