I've watched a few movies recently featuring my #1 style icon, Brigitte Bardot, and have taken into consideration some of my favorite outfits of hers. In both the movies, editorial photos and candids, Brigitte was always one step ahead of the rest while resting on one note, always: comfort. How did she constantly look so chic while wearing such comfortable casual wear? Her clothes were tailored to fit perfectly. By mixing classic pieces with bold patterns and a fits-just-right feel, Brigitte can teach us so much about how to do just that in our own wardrobes.
My take on a Brigitte Bardot weekend look: Vintage faux fur leopard coat, one of my favorites that I NEVER wear... so glad i decided to pull it out of the closet. It's a trend-appropriate pattern, but in the vintage cut of a 1960's peacoat. Paired with some black cigarette jeans I cuffed twice and some ankle booties, it calms the boldness of the leopard print fur. I added a campy seersucker blue and white checked shirt, tucked into the denim for a classic preppy look. Finally, I threw on some black sunglasses and hit the town. I felt the simplicity of the look achieved the 1960's vibe, while the contrasting patterns of the leopard and the blue and white checkered blouse gave the extra edge that Brigitte would have worn.
Next time you're looking for that great weekend ensemble, I'd suggest you take a que from Brigitte and focus on tailored pieces with flare. Happy Monday to you all! I can't wait for what's in store this week. Love love, Chelsea
