Comme des Garcons Jacket, A Dose of Ruffles

Natti Mayıs 19, 2021

I just realized that the ‘official’ white wearing season is literally over and I haven’t styled any white pieces. So I had to sneak one in and paired with this ~~jacket~~ 'dose of ruffles' that would have fit right in at the Comme des Garcons themed Met Gala 2017.

I read somewhere that all Mei Kawakubo wanted was to make clothes that nobody had ever seen. She wanted extreme beauty. This avant-garde jacket fits that description and is a great example of a non conformist style by her protege Junya Watanabe.

The jacket is such a statement piece so I chose to keep the look simple and fresh with a clean white skirt. Bold colors and textured pieces paired with whites generally ooze elegance anyhow. Unfortunately I can't link it because its one of those unique and hard to find pieces and I don't believe very many of it were made to start with.

I have to admit that this skirt is a recent fave because of its light airy feeling as scorching temperatures sweep through California this week. We hit 112 degrees today and tomorrow is supposed to be a couple degrees hotter! So much for loving Summer!

A pair of black sandals previously styled here added some edginess while the bag played up this look and made for a fun update.

Hope you all had a great week. Mine was busy but busy is great!

Enjoy your three day weekend!
