I took Mother Melbourne to the Langham today for a little birthday lunch(hers, not mine) and decided this casual yet chic little outfit might just do the trick. Plus I was kind of trialling it for fashion week next week as well, I do like a good road test!Anyhow, while down that way I popped into Made In Japan and they have a new lot of Japanese fabrics in store so I bought up and intend to make a whole lot of little camisoles. Anyone living in Melbourne will tell you that layering is essential all year around so they come in handy that's for sure.
This little cream tux jacket is a new edition, I bought it at D.F.O(Direct Factory Outlet for overseas readers) from Witchery. $199 down to $49. I can't understand why, there is nothing wrong with it but there were only two left so perhaps they just wanted to get rid of them.
Jacket: Witchery
Pants: Country Road
Camisole: I made it
Pearls: Primark
Shoes: Tony Bianco
Bag: Louis Vuitton

Happy birthday to your mother! Have you some gift for her? =)
Love the tux jacket! Which LMFF shows are you going to? I left it too late to get tickets to most of the Runways I wanted to attend but I did manage to nab some to Runway 5.
I love the mix of fabrics in this outfit--so chic! I definitely say that's a fashion week yes! :)
You look elegantly chic i love your buy from DFO! i purchased a white blazer in jpn and yet to show it on blog. and ooo a similar pair of baggy black pants! i love your style.:) happy birthday to your lovely mother x
i love your makeup in this post - is it different, or is it just that it's a closeup? it looks beautiful anyway.
Mmmm, cropped, cuffed trousers and sandals - a look I'm dying to try once it finally warms up around here.
Chic indeed, and im sure you two had a lovely time! Happy birthday to Mother Melbourne!
So chic! Loving the vintage LV and those shoes - plus the BIg BLANGING pearls funk it up a wee bit :)

LOVE that witchery jacket, and the pearls. I can't believe that jacket was reduced so much, I would have snapped it up in a second!
Gorgeous jacket & pearls (the pearls are delicious)!
Lovely outfit, I must try wearing my black trousers that are slightly similar at some point soon. You are ever an inspiration!

Happy birthday to mom. Cute shoes, too.
Oh, look at you Miss Fancy Lady!!! If I could only be half as chic as you look... and your cuffed trousers looks amazing, I must say! I love the first picture with the mirror, mirrors always tend to make things look more interesting! Also, sounds like fun, I hope your mom had a good birthday!
Hope you are well dear <3

Heart- Please show us, I have no doubt it is gorgeous!!
Josephine- it is different, I've used an all over colour wash rather than just a dark 50's style eye liner.

WOW I love your jacket, bag and shoes!! I have added you as well!
<3
The jacket is very nice but it is those pearls that really catch my eye! They're so classic and yet modern and ultimately very, very chic.
And of curse, the Louis is the very pinnacle of wonderousness.
Love your style.
Xx
Those pearls are pleasingly chunky....
Happy (belated) birthday to your mother :) You look heavenly, LM!
