Inspiration From Italy
I’m easing back into my routine after traveling in Italy. Inevitably along the way, there were moments of style inspiration which I mentally packed up to revisit when I got home. The strongest of those moments came from Cortina, a mountain town in the Dolomites where the chic crowd perfected the art of dressing down. Not a label in sight. The Italians get it. Instead men and women wore what appeared to be well-loved personal favorites -suede or leather boat shoes with pants short enough to glimpse tan ankles, tasseled loafers with bright socks, and a head turning amount of stylish barn coat/field jacket toppers in every shade of green. These were paired with relaxed jeans, collared shirts casually tucked in, or loose dresses. The most stylish women to my eye wore hair in an almost messy gathered ponytail, a swipe of lipstick to complement a bare face with minimal if any makeup, and interesting jewelry.
