Sarah Pacini is
a designer that I want to bring to your attention, because her pieces are so
unique and beautiful. Not only are her
clothes perfect for anyone with a skin disorder such as psoriasis, they are
perfect for anyone who is looking for something a little bit different.
Whilst I am as
big a fan of the high street as the next person (frankly, the budget dictates
it must be so!) there are always occasions when I am happy to splurge a little extra
or when I want something a little more unusual.
Whilst the colour palette includes a lot of black, this is balanced by a
large quantity of taupes, light greys, camels and whites. In general the tops, which are used as a base
to build on, are fitted but then the rest of the outfit tends to be
unstructured and can be draped in a number of different ways. The whole collection can be mixed and matched
according to how much coverage you need.
I first came
upon the Sarah Pacini range four years ago, when I was looking for an outfit
for The Child’s Communion. Although,
courtesy of a sun holiday, my arms were clear enough to go on show, my legs
alas, were not. This range allowed me to
work around these issues and despite the coverage, I still felt I was
appropriately dressed for a sunny day in May.
For your amusement I have attached a picture of me from that day,
grinning gormlessly. Note the umbrella … the day started with drizzling rain
which, thankfully for our plans of an alfresco lunch, turned into a scorcher by
lunchtime. For me the most noticeable
thing about this photograph is the wide legged trousers. Were skinnies the trouser shape of choice in
May 2009? If so, I clearly didn’t have
my finger on the fashion pulse!
The Sarah Pacini
range is available in a range of boutiques, details of which can be found on
her website, www.sarahpacini.com. The Spring collection has
just hit the stores (but despite intensive searching, I can’t find any of it
online) and I would urge you to take a look if you have an occasion coming
up. And for the record, this post was
not sponsored in any way. I simply
wanted to offer you an option that might help in your quest for Spring or
Summer outfits.
Loving the collection - that gorgeous unstructured knitwear look is great. Also, you appear to have got younger looking since 2009 - could you explain? Avril x
ReplyDeleteI now put a nylon stocking over the camera lens!!! Not! You're very kind Avril, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi my dear! I love the designs of the knitwear, especially the first and last outfits. You look great here, a lovely summer monochrome look! Thanks for your support and comments on my new blog too and heres hoping you bag the perfect denim shirt for this coming season! x
ReplyDeleteHi there and thanks for your kind comments. Enjoying your blog immensely ... who knew there was so much to learn about denim?!
DeleteHi Helen! I actually have a long silky sleeveless maxi dress by Sarah Pacini. I bought it in a local boutique for a holiday in Dubai a few years ago. It was expensive at the time but it is a great piece to pull out every now and then. Love the knitwear designs above too:)

Hi Anne, the range is pricey but I'm glad you agree it's worth it. You'll have to post a pic of your maxi on your blog when the summer comes.
