Finally, finally we're starting to creep a little closer towards Spring. I can't even begin to explain how much I'm looking forward to the masses of colourful blooms appearing left, right and centre. The brighter, sunnier (and pretty, pretty please warmer!) days. And of course, not forgetting the seasonal wardrobe changeover that comes with kissing goodbye to freezing cold temperatures and dressing in more layers than a Russian nesting doll. But before we dive into ruffled mini dresses and cropped t-shirts, it's time to look at transitional styling. The bridge between Winter and Spring in particular has become one of my favourite times on the calendar with regard to styling. This is largely thanks to the options - you can mix and match to your heart's content! With this in mind, I'm adoring casual skirt suits right now. Although my rules are fairly relaxed, one thing is essential: it either has to be covered in a striking check print (look coming soon), or tweed. Ooh. Fenn Wright Manson have added the first Clueless-esque skirt suit to my Spring wardrobe and now I'm hooked. I mean, Cher Horowitz raised the bar pretty high, but I'm cool with living in her shadow...


Tweed is a material I'm sure many of us have only ever associated with the colder months of the year, but believe me when I say it can do so much more. There's everything to love about the tweed blend of this Fenn Wright Manson Natalie Coat; the lightweight design ideal for Spring, the fray trim to the collar, front and hemline, and don't even get me started on the colour. I've been planning ways to wear it throughout this next season and the list just doesn't seem to end. Tweed has a fabulous ability to be dressed both up and down. It works just as well worn as a wedding guest, as it does paired with cropped denim and sandals for a lunch meeting. For example, this past week, I went shopping wearing the Natalie Skirt paired with a chunky knit pink jumper. Next week? I have a meeting that calls for the coat alone to be layered over a turtleneck black ribbed dress. And we're only in February! Lightweight tweed blends are a match made in heaven for Spring styling. Personally, when the time comes, I'll be reaching for some of the following pairings:
I'm totally smitten with this dreamy look from Fenn Wright Manson. The lightweight tweed-blend has set my mind on Spring, along with the fresh blue and pale pink colour combination! Ugh, I'm just so in love with anything that has those Clueless vibes (hello Alicia Silverstone) - here's looking at you matching skirt suits! So, will you be wearing tweed at all this Spring? Have you ever shopped at Fenn Wright Manson before? Let me know in the comments below, as always I can't wait to read your thoughts!

That's such a cute suit set, I really like the tweed pieces together with the pastel pink top in between. You will get a lot of wear from these pieces separately too! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend. The heatwave continued here unfortunately, so it was another fairly quiet and aircon filled weekend for us!

Very elegant and classy! A top outfit!

Wow! You look so classy dear <33 I love your style :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photography....You look stunningly beautiful!!! This location is amazing btw...simply perfect to accompany this look. I do love tweed. When I think of tweed, UK is probably the first thing that comes to my mind. I believe this material was invented in Scotland? Anyhow, a tweed suit is a lovely classic. I do like how you styled it here. I love how you paired this grey tweed suit with a pink blouse, it makes the outfit more feminine, girly and romantic. Perfect styling really, black boots are always a good choice and this tweed suit is a statement in itself....
ReplyDeleteThat set similar to Chanel look i love it, you look so chic...

How perfect this tweed set fits you, Gabrielle! So elegant and chic. And you are right, this is the perfect coat for spring, I believe it will work well with other kinds of outfits, maybe a pair of jeans and top? I've never shopped from them before but I adore this look on you. Let's hope for spring to come faster so we can wear all cute items. Have a great week, Gabrielle :)

Tweed is not the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of spring, but seeing it styled like that, with the light and silky blouse, it seems very fitting.

This looks fab on you Gabrielle - I love the design and the colour. I thinking how great tweed outfits like this are for weddings and then I saw you say exactly the same thing. A matching 2 piece like this is just perfect x

I will forever love tweed. There is something so classic yet practical about it and I can't help but adore it. This is such a lovely set for spring, I hope it starts to warm up a bit for you soon! It was unseasonably cold in Los Angeles today (12 degrees Celsius) and I have not known what to do with myself!
ReplyDeleteThis definitely doesn't look like the petite range! It's quite impressive haha. Tweed is such a timeless material and looks amazing, I love the skirt and blazer combo with pastel here - I totally see the spring touch in this outfit!

SPRING. Could it please get here a little faster! Warmer weather and longer days. YES, please. You look amazing (as usual) and I honestly never would've thought a tweed suit would be perfect for spring. But you've definitely convinced me! The pop of pink underneath is my favorite. Let the countdown begin!

You are looking absolutely gorgeous in this matching suit set! I love the tweed and how you've added in that pale pink top, which pops so beautifully and makes for such a lovely contrast. I also love the outfits you plan on creating with the two pieces. That's what I love most about matching sets is that you have SO many options. I'll have to look into this brand, as I'm unfamiliar and never heard of them before, but it seems they make such chic clothing. Thanks for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you're having a great week so far!

While I don't have any tweed in my wardrobe, I love a good wrap skirt like that one you're wearing! I used to think they didn't suit me, but after finding the perfect casual denim wrap skirts last year they're what I always have my eye out for because I love them so much. I also can't wait for the weather to warm up properly, I feel so much more inspired when I can choose to wear anything rather than being stuck wearing jeans and my parka when it's -10 outside! Even though 5 degrees is still pretty cold for me, at least it means I can wear skirts and tights and different jackets so I can't wait!!
