WIWT - Styling A Tuxedo For Daytime

Morning ladies, bit of a special & early start to the day as I'm up & out bright & early as I'm off to London for the day with my mum & sister :-)  

We're heading off on a real girlie day for a belated mother's day celebration, which will naturally involve a spot of retail therapy but most importantly afternoon tea at the Savoy.  Meaning today's outfit has needed to be smart as well as comfy.

So after much deliberation I've decided to stick with a monochrome look & team my tuxedo jacket with faux leather trousers & a tuxedo style shirt.  Plus in honour of the occasion I'm breaking out a bit of a special & new purchase.  I've mentioned previous that I've been selling a few pieces on eBay & after much eBaying & wardrobe detoxing I'd managed to accrue a little pot of money that I've been saving for a special purchase.  So when I spotted these Chloe boots on Shopbop with only one pair left in my size, brand new & at a reduced price to the RRP well it meant the button was clicked in an instant.  A real impulse buy but I reckon they're hopefully earn their place on a cost per wear basis & of course they've made all the time involved in listing, posting & visiting the post office totally worth it!
