So this is what my third post in 2 days about Witchery - a little obsessed? yes definitely. I've always been a huge fan ever since Witchery did a major overhaul and got a new design team which I suppose was circa 2000/2001.
Their leather goods - though some might argue are pricey have always lasted and I still have clasic bags from Witchery that I've had since 2002. 7 years of everyday use and apart from some darkening due to ageing they are still in excellent condition. And really.....$250+ for a classic edgy leather bag is nothing. MIMCO's start around the $350 mark and although they are unique to anything else on the market I find they date and I'm not comfortable carrying the bag that I thought was so hot last Season. - The only exception has been my honey tan button bag with the old plastic buttons.
Witchery has always been my first shop to go to for understated basics. I love their detailed tanks and structured dresses and this Season I'm in love with their coats - none of which I've bought yet but I'm definitely looking forward to the Spring collecion of lighter weight coats in flowing fabrics such as silk and viscose blends with a sheen. I'm dying to get my hands on this trench coat which features in July's key looks:
Back on to the theme of basics with a difference I just bought this frill detail longlseeve top to wear with dark wash skinny jeans under the trench coats I already have:
As much as I try I am not a flamboyant dresser. I can style an outfit but can never really pull it off I'm more comfortable with edgy basics - classics I guess. I would say I'm a CHANEL girl - mostly blacks and whites, mostly demure whilst trying to look sophisticated and not 5 years old!
Some more favourites from Witchery's current Season:
