Traveling Eple & Melk

e
navy blazer: Eple & Melk
grey sweater: Anthropologie
black skirt: vintage
tights: AA
shoes: Seychelles via UO
beret & purse: vintage

Do you remember when we did the traveling Heimstone jacket piece for Modepass? Well, it's time for another version, this time with a jacket from Eple & Melk.

I was so excited to receive my package all the way from France. I knew as soon as I saw the Eple & Melk jacket pairing with my wardrobe would be a bit of a challenge but I felt up to it! The cut of the jacket is much more modern than other pieces in my wardrobe but I thought it would make a nice contrast. The fact that it's a classic navy color made it easy. It’s like a traditional navy blazer only with a modern twist. The weather was so cold on the day that I wore the jacket lots of layers were in order. I love pairing navy with grey and black so I picked out my favorite vintage black skirt and a grey wool sweater. Once the weather warms up I’d like to try to pair the jacket with a simple white shirt and jeans. I think it’s just the touch of modern that my wardrobe was needing.

very nice combination, so look lovely in it!
fun fact: the black background you photoshopped the pics onto displays "Csaszar", the name of the photographer (pronounced 'chasar', literally meaning 'emperor' in hungarian), and "Kolozsvar", a city now in Romania which belonged to Hungary back then :)
