Lockdown Wardrobe

What have you been wearing during Lockdown? Or rather, what have you missed wearing? I've pretty permanently worn a pair of leopard print leggings originally bought for a shoot: after returning them unworn, I went back to re-buy because I liked them so much. Weird on many levels - mostly because most people don't look great in leggings, myself included. And yet here I am day in, day out wearing my trusty pair of now rather knackered leggings.

I do miss getting dressed for work. I'm a fashion stylist so this requires a balance of looking stylish (or at least, not a mess) and practicality. These days at home it's more a balance of comfort and stuff I don't mind spilling my breakfast/lunch/dinner on. I've realised how many clothes I actually have... Most mornings recently I've told myself that today is the day of the wardrobe sort out /season changeover, etc. I know I will find some gems to get excited about wearing again when I do. But it hasn't happened yet... I'll let you know how it goes.

The Story behind...

Sometimes it's nice to know a little more about what inspires style and fashion trends - all too often things can feel a little foreign... At One Off we have decided to let you behind the scenes, and to explain the story behind certain styling and clothing choices.

This week it's the turn of the Jackie O inspired Fringed Dress:

 This dress is simple and chic but crucially not boring or too grown up. Its texture and fringe help to jazz things up a bit.

We love a bit of texture at One Off.

A few months ago, I went through a real Kennedy family fad, which no doubt inspired me to buy this dress when on a One Off shopping trip.

Channel 1960s Kennedy chic when wearing this dress. 

We styled it for the photo shoot with a well loved pair  of chunky black suede wedges with an ankle strap, which looks great

but you could wear this dress anyway you want, and team it with a pair of smart loafers

or keep it real 60s preppy vibe with a pair of ballet pumps

We kept it simple for the shoot, but I reckon this dress would be even better with a bit of gold. Throw on a chunky necklace or a pair of hoops to make this a more polished look.

Who knows - maybe this dress is a Jackie O original!

 

You could do a lot worse than looking like Jackie.
