Alberta Ferretti's Tennis Chic (posted on 18/03/2012)



I received an e-newsletter by Alberta Ferretti titled "Tennis Chic". I found the above look, which surprised rather than enticed as it clearly is not suitable for tennis. Who would have expected this look given the title?
I welcome the unexpected but everything has its time and place. At best the look is a flapper dress gone wrong lacking cut and highlighting unnecessarily body parts nobody wants to shine a light on.
Now, dear chicette, take a look at the editorial pictures below with the lovely Anouck Lepere shot by David Burton for ELLE Italia, November 2011. Tennis in style.




Slightly over the top, but -in this case- it just looks fabulous.
Especially the shorts-and-cable-sweater look.
Simple, sleek,functional and stylish.
Voila!
