french things

I've been thinking about the next installment of the perfect uniform, which at the moment, I don't actually have. It's a french mariner's or Breton shirt. They're absolutely fantastic! I'm planning to buy one soon since spring is supposedly coming after all (though it is hard to believe since it hasn't stopped raining in the last 30 days...really!). One site I found called the brittany boutique has a great selection with 18 different colorways to choose from. The traditional navy and cream is a must, but after that, how cool would a doll and peony one be? Ok, I'd probably go for the cream and ostrich as my second choice, but the pink one does sound sassy.

Also on this site, which most definitely needs to be a part of the uniform, is espadrilles. These fabulous striped ones make my heart go pitter pat. Yes, please, a couple of pairs of these too.

I love this perfect uniform theme. LOVE IT. I see you leaning to St Tropez chic ala 1959--who was the girl in the original Breathless--that's you. My uniform usually involves GAP dark turtlenecks, jeans, and well worn clogs. And as Coco Chanel said "acessories make the woman"--earings, silver bangles, and a great belt to complete the ensemble. Lately, Ive been in a knitting craze. I like to top it all off with a gorgeous knitted wrap. In fact, Ive got that very outfit on, as Im headed to P's great aunts 100th birthday party. Great talking to you yesterday...can't wait to see you. S
