Bateau, Bateau, Pick!

There's something very classic and elegant about a "bateau" or "boat" neckline.

One reason behind this is because of Audrey Hepburn. She's always been the epitome of class and elegance, and she would wear this neckline a lot - both in films and in real life.

Who can forget her LBD with the bateau neckline that she wore in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." In "Sabrina," she also wore this type of dress almost throughout the entire film. Guess that's why it's also known as the "Sabrina" neckline.

It then comes as no surprise that I'm also on the constant look-out for dresses and tops with this neckline type.

And yes, Kashieca had it!

This pretty dress is great for lounging around at home. It's made of cotton fabric with a classic heather grey and white stripe. The neckline is bateau, and it has extended sleeves. The design and print is so classic and chic, it's easy to wear it anywhere.

Now, if you're going out on an errand or a quick mall run, it's easy to dress it up with this jacket. Yes, it's the same Kashieca jacket that I wrote about a few days ago.

This combination is so fashionable, it's no wonder I picked it!

Just Jack-et!

Although jackets don't really get worn these days, I still find myself browsing the net for chic outerwear.

While doing that, this jacket from Kashieca popped up.

There's so much going for this jacket. 

First, there's the refreshing blue hue.

Second, there's the utilitarian-fashion design.

Third, there's the cool neckline and sleeves.

Fourth, there's the fact that it's available in my sister's size.

Yes, I think we all know what just happened next.

Two times the texture

With the weather getting nippier by the day, it's actually a good time to consider more textured clothing for everyday wear. Of course, our weather will never merit wool, cashmere or angora, but you can always wear something thicker, just like this textured dress that I got Ate Lissa.

The fabric is this heavy cotton knit blend, and it has an embossed design that makes it look like jacquard. But unlike jacquard, it's lighter and moves better.

If it becomes too breezy and your exposed shoulder is leaving you cold, you can always top it off with another texture - faux leather.

For our climate, faux leather is better because it's lighter. This H&M jacket has a lot of moto details, adding texture and giving it some edge.

Together, the two textures and colors meld nicely, making for a chic and cozy ensemble for a nippy day.

It's always more chic to dress for the cold.
