From Wimbledon whites to wedding guest glam and laid-back Sunday chic, Karen shares a week of outfits that proves dressing is all about joy.
MONDAY
I love nothing more than a matcha date and a cute fit. This particular Monday was gloomy, so I felt like adding a pop of colour to my look. This jacket is from The Frankie Shop and is one of my favourites. It’s a timeless piece and so versatile. I have paired it here with a trusty white oversized shirt, which is a staple in every wardrobe and Zara jeans. My sandals are from Russell & Bromley and are the best shoes I have ever purchased. This is my third summer with them, and our relationship only grows stronger. My bag is the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30. I have resurrected her this year and accessorised with some charms and Jellycats, of course. Finally, the sunglasses are Ray-Ban – another classic for the wardrobe.
TUESDAY
Here, I was heading to a work event, so I wanted to keep the look somewhat dressy but still casual. I am a big fan of the jorts and have a few pairs in my wardrobe. I like lighter denim for the summer months. This pair are Stradivarius, as are my suede brown kitten heels. My tube top is ASOS, and the red bomber is Topshop from ASOS. My bag is the Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Mini Backpack.
WEDNESDAY
Wednesday was a day at Wimbledon, and what a day it was. I attended in 2024 for the first time and loved it so much that I had to return again. The style is amazing there, and to see it in person is special. Of course, I had to wear Wimbledon whites. I chose these Zara satin trousers that I purchased in Seville earlier this year with this M&S tube style top. I wouldn’t usually wear this style of top, but I felt it worked well with the look. My shoe choice was once again my beige Russell and Bromley sandals. I finished the outfit with my vintage Miu Miu pink and white basket-style bag sourced from PissednBroke vintage.
THURSDAY
I love pairing block colours together. In my opinion, the more colour the better. I purchased these orange wedges in the south of France last month. They feel very retro. The jeans are Citizens of Humanity, and yes, they are worth the money. These are the bubble style, and they look fantastic with a low heel or platform. My pink shirt is H&M and my cardigan is Zara. However, my bag is the highlight here. It’s a handmade piece created by Ukrainian designer Craft by Illina. I adore the vibrancy of the bag, and the quality is amazing. For an extra touch, I added a vintage Louis Vuitton leopard scarf to the bag as an accessory.
FRIDAY
Here is a wedding guest fit made better by the fabulous sunny weather. I was watching this outfit on ASOS and waiting for it to come back into stock. It’s a two-piece skirt and waistcoat. I loved the length of the skirt and the detail on the waistcoat. Normally, I would never reach for blue, but this caught my eye. I paired it with a pair of hot pink heels from Zara and a fluffy pink bag from River Island to elevate the look. My sunglasses are Chanel.
SATURDAY
This outfit was for a late lunch. Pairing neutrals is one of my favourite things to do with fashion. My jacket is from The Frankie Shop – it’s the best place to shop for jackets and coats. My trousers are an old pair from Zara and I love the exaggerated flare. From there, I paired the outfit with my Ganni leopard ballet flats. These are another great buy because leopard print can be paired with so many colours. My bag is a vintage Bottega Veneta that I purchased in Japan earlier this year. My sunnies are another pair of Ray-Bans – you can never have too many!
SUNDAY
There is nothing better than Sunday lunch in pink. I love anything oversized (and pink), so when I saw this dress from Sister Jane, I had to have it. I paired it with block leopard heels from Office, which I have had for years and always return to them. For a more summery feel, I added my MIU MIU bag and Chanel sunglasses.
