MONOCHROME STRIKES AGAIN

Because you can never over-indulge in monochrome. Or stripes for that matter.

After putting up initial resistance to the loafer takeover for fear of ever treading into Mumsy territory, I've since convinced myself of their irrepressible French-girl charm and am now unabashedly converted. Especially since paired with a semi-untucked breton T-shirt and shearling they're anything but. Now I won't be without them and can't wait to team them with frayed cut-offs, embroidered denim and anything else distinctly un-Mumsy.

And, frankly the thought of going cold turkey on the daily denim jacket fix sucked. So as we're unwillingly propelled into colder climes, in a quest to extend denim jacket season, there's an easy solution via this fleece-lined highstreet hit from Topshop.
