J'adore...Monochrome

Welcome to another new feature! Seeing as I changed my blog name to J'adore Jade, I decided to do a new regular feature called 'J'adore...', letting you all know what I'm loving at the moment!

J'adore Monochrome
Monochrome is huge this SS13. Personally, I think Monochrome is perfection! A black and white outfit can create simple, classic look, or transform you and make you stand out incredibly. Although a good colour pop makes an interesting outfit, sometimes the starkness of the deep black and brigh white can look as effective.

As cliche as it is, a timeless black & white outfit seems to always remind me of romantic Paris and how sophisticated and elegant the Parisian women look in their monochrome outfits with perhaps a flash of red lipstick.

Monochrome was all over the SS13 catwalks, and they created very striking shows

 Chanel SS13

 Marc Jacobs SS13

Prada SS13

 





The High Street interpretations of the trend are fabulous and there are so many great pieces avaiable at the moment!

I recently featured this Miss Selfridge Tuxedo jacket in my '5 Ways To Wear...Black Midi Dress' post and fell in love with it. I've only worn it once so far, to a nice family dinner, but I've though of so many other ways to wear it. I just have to be careful as I am a very clumsy person so it'll have to be a white wine night!

It's such a classic piece that I'm glad I have invested in it, as it stands out and is a beautiful shape. So flattering.

Overall I think monochrome is such an amazing trend and I will be stocking up on classic black and white tailored pieces

 



5 Ways to Wear...Black Midi Dress

This is a new feature I've been planning for a while and have finally gotten around to posting! In between finishing one internship and starting my new one I haven't had much time to blog, (sorry!) but I think I've finally sorted myself out enough to post regularly, and hope that this '5 Ways to Wear' will be a weekly addition to my Blog, so here goes!

First '5 Ways to Wear' is a black Midi Dress from New Look (£12.99!)

 Dress- New Look / Boucle Jacket- Miss Selfridge/ Bag- Marc B / Pumps- Topshop

 Dress-New Look / Fur Coat- New Look / Bag- Asos / Shoes- MissSelfridge

I had such fun creating these 5 different looks with the one dress. I also went outside my comfort zone when choosing some of the pieces but I would definitely wear all of them! I would have to say though my favourite is the first one as I am a fan of classic style outfits & I recently bought the boucle jacket featured in it, however the Camo jacket has grown on me so may have to purchase one soon!

I love how, with one simple item, you can dress so for so many different occasions. The first could be worn to work,the second to dinner, third to a festival, the forth shopping and the final on a night out! The possibilities are endless...
