It is definitely much easier to take more items through the entire year when living in the Middle East. My most transitional pieces are probably white tops, linen sets, and the perfect T-shirts, both long and short. The weight of my fabric choice does change with the season, but I have a few long cardigans that work well layered on top of shorts and other more summer-focused pieces. That said, I do love my English winter wardrobe and that’s difficult to bring back to Dubai…
Manolo Blahnik leather high heels in black; classic cowboy boots; high-waisted jeans, boot cut; white T-shirts; white classic buttoned shirt; long grey cardigan.
Black, white, grey and navy; that’s it in a nutshell – safe and elegant.
Manolo Blahnik footwear will elevate any outfit. Massimo Dutti for everyday style. Gucci for special, luxurious touches. Ralph Lauren for classic pieces. Sweaty Betty for loungewear and casual wear staples. And Balmain, for the ultimate forever blazers.
I am definitely thinking twice before making any purchases – less is more; reducing my wardrobe to things I really love, not just like. I have added more special things to my wardrobe in the last couple of years than ever in my life; items that bring me joy when I look at them, let alone wear them.
My ripped shorts and jeans get dressed up and down. My ‘dress-up’ is less up these days – I usually just tweak from the waist down, mainly the shoes.
I have a huge urge for green leather, but I’ll definitely make it pleather. I am not sure exactly what yet, but I’ll know when I see it!
