Coco Couture

                                            

The film Coco Avant Chanel is scheduled to be released sometime this year according to IMDB.com.

Coco Chanel, the name, the myth, the legend: how much of her style do we take for granted today? For one, her boyish bob and empowering, classic, and chic style is a winning combo, just not a completely lasting one: here’s how you can flirt with Coco’s famous look, without having to become too invested. Most of them are basics, anyway, with a few key accessories.

1. The Button Down: I recommend shopping in the men’s section: they’re bigger cut around the shoulders creates more of the “slouchy” look that Chanel is known for…women’s button-downs cut too close to the chest. Check out Express for some nice men’s shirts.

                                                             

2. The Slouchy Tie: Express MenÂ’s section is a goldmine for Coco impersonators: they sell a fabulous satin tie.

                                                             

3. The Classic Blazer: everyone should have a black button blazer in their closet. ItÂ’s very pre-professional, but itÂ’s necessary.

                                                                  

4. And now, the exciting part: The accessories!!! The pearl necklace is a must:

                                                            

If you’re up for taking a little fashion risk, feather hairpins are fun to experiment with:

                                             

And if you really want to make the transformation complete, invest in a 1920Â’s vintage flapper hat. TheyÂ’re gorgeous, if a little musty.

    I love how urbane these looks are. I’m always on the lookout for pieces that go well with the goodies in my shop. But goodness! I don’t just love these looks; I want to wear them now!
