Now who doesn’t love a good Liberty print?! 🌸🌼🪻🏵🌷

I'm lucky enough have two Liberty ties in my dad's collection - a gorgeous floral one in cotton from the 50s or 60s, not dissimilar to this one in spirit, and a silk version in an abstract pattern that I bought him on a trip to London in 1987!

I styled up the older one last week for an evening of gallery hopping across Paris - style-on-the-fly segment up soon! 👔

Meanwhile this lovely example was designed in 1933 & 🩷🩵💛🧡

Let's talk little black dresses & embroidery 🪡

Can a touch of decoration - be it embroidery, fringeing, tulle for example - restrict or actually expand your wearability options? 🕵️‍♀️

It's a question I explore in my upcoming style tutorial, so stay tuned for the results! 🖤

Meanwhile of course you can weigh in with your own opinion - or try & guess the answer!

Usually my waistcoat IS the bottom layer, but how about this idea make it a kind of mini gilet that goes over what's under the bottom layer! 🪄💡

And of course 3-piece suit inspo is always welcome...🍋👔💛
