When I overhauled the design of Cagney and Lace I decided it was also time to refresh the words in my about section which led me down a path of discovery as I got to thinking about what my blog is all about, can you tell I've been watching Sex and the City reruns again? After very little thought the words just came to me, Cagney and Lace combines my love of fashion with the everyday and I think todays post epitomises those words exactly. Some days I frantically search my floordrobe before retreating to my actual wardrobe all with the help of an incredibly cute, always well turned out Sadie, after the rest of the hanging clothes end up on the floor I retreat to my old favourites a striped tee, a pair of jeans and the backless loafers that rarely leave my feet. Well there's only so long an almost fourteen month old will watch you try outfits on for.

In sheer contrast to my last outfit post this completely casual, laid back ensemble is one of my go to looks 'cos sometimes you just don't know what to wear and let's be honest, when would a stripe ever let you down? Now I've gone through my fair share of breton striped numbers but this is possibly my favourite, unequivocally down to the fact its embroidered with my initials, which you can just make out in the third picture. For me Mon Breton can do no wrong, I mean who doesn't want their striped tops to be personalised plus I love how these works of art are truly French as they're lovingly made in Brittany and then stitched in Blighty. As everyone knows a breton stripe is a sure fire way to look pulled together while making minimal effort which is why its such a staple piece in my wardrobe. Thrown together with my trusty Lucas jeans, which have that whole boyfriend meets girlfriend jean vibe down although word to wise if you're thinking of buying a pair, size down as these super soft babies give like nobodies business.

Finally we've got to talk footwear and the shoes of the moment, loafers. In case you've been hiding under a Gucci shaped rock you'll know how the humble buckle adorned shoe is having a real moment right now - the ultimate man repelling loafer that your mum used to sport on the school run is back and I can't get enough. I picked my backless option up from Topshop who are in the words of my friend Claire, on fire right now and while I worried at first about how much I'd wear them and if they were truly me they're now the first pair of shoes I pick as they go with everything. Now if I didn't have a new kitchen to pay for I'd be seriously tempted by a red Gucci pair, especially after watching Lizzys video but for now I'll just dream.

What's your everyday uniform?
