My love for Pied de Poule goes way back. I can remember that as a little girl I loved to stroll in my grandmother’s closet and dress up. And especially to wear her patent pumps with a bow. I can also remember that I proudly dressed up with those shoes walking down their open spiral stairs ……yes, and fell down….. But my grandmother had a Pied de Poule pencil skirt. I loved that one. Since that time I have a crush on Pied de Poule. She also had a short (fake) black fur coat. That along with those pumps from her would still be a great outfit!
Pied de Poule as a neutral?
But this is a Pied de Poule suit I also love. And even better, it is pre loved. And you can style it in many different ways. I now wear it with a bow blouse. That is not pre loved but ten years old! That is a very long time for me. But this two piece also looks very nice with my black patent sneakers! And then with a knitted sweater. For a casual look. I like it better to wear no color with this outfit and have kept my accessories gold( colored). The boots are also about eight years old and are due for replacement. Very unfortunate because these are Italian and they fit perfectly around my calves. I have already seen a few beautiful ones! I’m still betting on the sale! With my luck they are immediately sold out!

Thanks Kellyann!
Looking gorgeous as always! I adore this look and the fact that it’s “pre-loved” and you thought to style it with the bow! I am so not great at finding new and creative ways to wear things. Ah well, always learning!

Pied de Poule is really 70s isn’t it. But so elegant. Thanks Laurie.
I love the story and the outfit Nancy. I also love that you show “old” material in a month filled with buying and more buying. Very good for your creativity (as shown in the beautiful photos) as well as your wallet and above all: for our planet. Wishing you a stylish and fun weekend, two elements that radiate from this blogpost! Love, Lieske

What a great find! It looks 1960s. I hope it is. I also love how you’ve styled it and that you have so many great memories associated with that brand. That is the great thing about wearing vintage, you’re wearing history.

Well that is a compliment! Thanks Rama!
Your outfit is such a fun mix of contrasts. While the pied de poule could look serious, the bow top, boots and even the long sleeves under the shorter sleeves makes it look playful. That, and your spunk! Hugs, Kim
Author
Haha, thank you very much Kim!
What a fabulous look Nancy. I adore this suit and look at all of the preloved things you’re getting!! Yay for thrifting. You’ll have to use the hashtag #thriftedchicstylechallenge on Instagram. For next month, Michele is giving a prize for someone who uses the tag throughout the entire month!

I loved hearing about you wearing your grandmother’s heels! Houndstooth is such a classic print and this looks so good on you! I love the suit with the tights and boots! The bow detail is sweet too!

Yeah! Haha, I am going to shop on Wednesday and hope that they are in the sale already.
I positively adore houndstooth and your suit is beyond fabulous! I really enjoyed reading about your dressing up in your grandmother’s clothes. She sounds like quite the stylish woman.
Author
She was! She always wore red lipstick. She also hated it if I wore shoes that were worn out!
Nancy I absolutely love this …you look amazing.

I know that print as houndstooth, but pied de poule sounds much fancier! Love the ’60s vibes of that suit!

That suit is absolutely adorable my friend! Too bad you didn’t hold on to some of your grandma’s clothes it sounds like they would be perfect on you now. I remember playing dress up in this beautiful blue tulle confection of a dress that belonged to my grandma…I so wish that I still had it!

Thanks Claire, have a great start of the week!
I love that “bird’s feet” (in English translation) and “houndstooth” are the same pattern – so cool.
This is an awesome suit on you, Nancy – a really fun cut. I have had many houndstooth pieces over the years – it’s a pattern that never goes out of style.
Author
Yes, funny isn’t it. I agree, it is such a classic pattern.
This is such a gorgeous Parisian-chic look! What I love about it is all of the underlayers: the sleeves, pussybow, tights, and boots. It’s classic but still modern and timeless. I would love to find a matching herringbone set like this!
