Currently Loving: Chic Black and White

The Fall 2011 Couture shows are in full swing in Paris. I am majorly loving the chic, elegant simplicity of the look pictured above by Giambattista Valli. The classic lines of a tailored men’s shirt and a pencil skirt will never go out of style. The beauty in this look, like with anything else, is definitely in the details. The monogram on the shirt and the metallic thread in the tweed skirt give the look a special touch. Did you happen to see the full Giambattista Valli Fall 2011 Couture Collection? I have a sneaking suspicion that it may have been inspired by Coco Chanel.
