A Woman's Touch

When I posted my "How to..." post on Wednesday (How to... Wear a tux (as a woman!)), I had little idea that one of my favourite bloggers was posting pages from Vogue US's 2004 shoot of Gisele Bundchen dressed in masculine clothing with a feminine twist. Check out this spread over at Shannon's post, A Touch of Boyish Charm. I love the waistcoats she wear and my particular favourite shot of the shoot is the second:

As much as I am a fan of the "boyfriend" look - boyfriend jeans and boyfriend cardigans feature heavily in my wardrobe - when it comes to masculine dressing, I prefer tailored pieces that fit the female shape.

The masculine look (above) is much more work appropriate and adds a quirky twist to business attire. I am so on the lookout for a fitted tailored waistcoat now! Of course, I couldn't help but start the search already! Here are my waistcoat picks:
