Miu Miu dresses aside - yes I am still obsessed - and given I have a good collection of forties dresses already, I am thinking that taking my inspiration from Kate Hepburn for Autumn/Winter will address both the forties trend and the boyish tailoring in one fell swoop!
A great pair of mannish tailored trousers in a herringbone check or a subtle tweed, a relaxed shirt and a comfy brogue or penny loafer will fit the bill - I have never been one for a crisp White shirt - great on other people but I shall go with a drapey silk style or a tie neck blouse instead.
I have always loved a boyish shoe though - practical and stylish - these penny loafers from Lands' End will work perfectly!
I think that little grey jacket will come into play here as well!
A true exponant of relaxed dressing and champion of the trouser - Kate was a truly original woman with her own uncompromising style - one which is well worth working for the new season!
Did you see the fabulous forties feature with Kate Moss in August's Vogue. Very glamorous.

Not quite make do and mend.
