Not having paid much attention to haute couture for the last 5-7 years, I don't have strong feelings about most designers. I have started to develop a list of favourites in the last 18 months, but it's a pretty short one and it's based predominantly on my own personal experiences with particular brands. I've never thrifted any Celine clothes, so I don't have a lot of thoughts on Celine. It's not on my favourites shortlist, although of course I would be more than happy to have a chance to try it out.
That being said, I am deeply, deeply digging their F/W 2019-2020 collection. Even if Celine, as a whole, does not represent my overall aesthetic, this one collection really nailed one facet of it. I mean, this outfit, you guys ... GAH!
I love everything about this and the best part is that it's eminently wearable! In real life! Even for this suburban working mom!
A quick mental inventory of my closet told me that I already have most of the necessary pieces. The only thing missing is a pair of tweed culottes. I am planning to remedy this unfortunate omission at the earliest opportunity thrifting permits. In the meantime, I decided to turn the outfit on its head: why not tweed on top and leather on the bottom?
Initially, I tried a different skirt (with more of an A-line silhouette) but I didn't like how it worked; the above-the-knee length made the outfit look too schoolgirlish for my liking. Although this pencil skirt doesn't create quite the same silhouette as the culottes, I like the overall effect. Sometimes, it takes a few tweaks to get an outfit you really love. Sprezzatura doesn't just happen 😉
