Some things are just meant to be. When I first spotted this grey wool dress in a Max & Co shop in Southerrn Italy, I heavy heartedly gave it a miss. I had to remind myself that I already bought a dress, had dental expenses coming up and just had to cut back in general.
Three months later I saw the same dress in the Christmas sale in Berlin. And now it’s mine. Max and Co (Max Mara’s younger subline) is my holy grail dressmaker. The tailoring is flawless and the most flattering for my figure (think fitted bodice and flared skirt). The subtle and discreet grey is perfect when I feel like wearing my rather loud purple and red patterned coat.
I am wearing:
- Wool dress – Max & Co
- Scallop collar – COS
- Ankle boots – Geox at TK Maxx
- Red handbag: Picard
Purple and red patterned coat from Max & Co. Necklace and earrings from Les Nereides and N2 Paris.
The same dress back in summer in the Italian shop, paired with a tan and AGL metallic sandals.
