Fashion Blog: 2013's Sixties: Modern Day Style Outfit Choice

I wrote recently about my love of the smart, chic side of the sixties style and some perfect pieces offered by my-wardrobe.com to get a modern day sixties look. A look that would be more chic than "dressing up box". I've received a few emails and comments asking about what items I would buy and how I chose those clothing pieces.

In true investment dressing style I thought about what I would be doing this year and chose the clothes according to what I anticipate I would wear most often and items I truly loved. I thought about the year rather than just the summer months, just because I may be travelling between the UK and USA and also in both countries the summer months don't always mean sun and warmth.

As soon as I saw the Philosophy tailored shorts with the tile print in the most exquisite colours, I knew I wanted them. As I did the Tom Ford cat eye sunglasses.

Essential buys:
1. Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti Tile Print Shorts £180.00 UK, $297.00 USA. (my-wardrobe.com)
2. Tom Ford Cat Eye Sunglasses £259 UK, $427.35 USA. In Black or Brown. (my-wardrobe.com)

And just for fun... If I was wearing this outfit to work I would definitely want one of these 70's Wild and Wolf Trim telephones £39.95 in Turquoise on my desk from Liberty (shipping worldwide). I also spotted this retro Lomography Diana Mini SLR Camera £50, small enough to fit in a handbag on holiday and stylish enough to have everyone asking where you got it from! In true retro style the Diana Cameras have a funcion for you to switch to old style square format photographs allowing for an incredible 72 photos on a standard 35mm film.

This outfit makes me feel like I could be stepping off a yacht somewhere in St Tropez! Head scarf optional!
