Today I share with you my outfit for the John Galliano show during Paris Fashion Week. I chose an (almost) total black look for that day, starting from this black trench dress. I intended to wear it by itself, as a dress, but it got unexpectedly cold that day so I layered it with an off-white dress underneath.
To be honest I am never able to create a completely total black look, I feel it looks odd on me and doesn’t suit me much. So even if it wasn’t cold, I am sure I would have added a pop of color, or something white. On the contrary, I love all-white outfits all year long (see here, here, and here).
I styled my black trench dress with this baker boy hat which is one of the hottest accessories for the past months, in order to add an edgy touch to this very feminine outfit. I finished with black embellished slingbacks, my classic Chanel boy bag and my favorite red lipstick. How do you like it? Don’t you just love the dramatic sleeves of that trench dress?
On a more personal note, if you told me when I started my blog, that after one year and a half I would be attending PFW, moreover shows like this of John Galliano, I wouldn’t believe you! Please remember:
- Don’t ever let anybody tell you what you can or cannot do. You can do so much more than you can imagine.
- It’s never too late to follow the dreams that make your heart beat faster.
- When you believe in yourself and work hard towards your goals with love and good intentions, you will accomplish them, and much faster than you think! Everything begins in the mind.
What about you? Do you enjoy wearing a total black look, or do you succumb to adding some color like I do? I would love to find out in the comments below!
Now scroll down for the John Galliano SS’18 Show and photos of my favourite pieces!
Happy hump day and thanks for stopping by!

Wow! Stella dear. That look is stunning. And you do, too. Immaculate makeup, and lovely to see your beautifuk eyes without sunglasses. The black/white combination is spot on. As for those Galiano dresses. Oooh! That pink tea length is a dream. Thank you for sharing.

Hello my dear Jojo! I remember one of your very first comments on my blog, a year and a half ago, when I had a picture without sunglasses and you liked that! Since then, I try to remember to take some photos without sunglasses if it’s not too sunny! That pink tea length dress from Galliano was my favourite dress from the collection, but I also posted it for you, I was sure you are going to love it! Have a great month! <3
That should read, beautiful. How embarrassing. Jx

I think that you would look so fierce with all black outfit! Okay, you already look here. I really like to pop of color on the lips too, looks amazing xx
But for me, I love wearing all black outfit and like you did here, add a little pop of color with lips 🙂

Happy new month to you Stella. You look absolutely stunning! I always like a good all black outfit but lately I’ve been trying to incorporate more colour into my wardrobe. It must have of been a dream come true to attend John Galliano show. Lucky girl and baby! You never gave up on your dreams and we could all learn a lesson from you. Hope you’re having a great week so far.

Happy new month to you too Jackie! Thank you for your sweet words, you are so kind! xo
I never thought baker hat could look so classy, you have done a fabulous job in combining it with black trench coat for a regal look! I am exactly opposite of you, I almost always incline towards all black outfits (it’s my personal fave) but being a fashion blogger, I try to add colors to my outfit. But if you leave it on you, I will live my life in all black outfits 🙂
Btw must say solid pointers you shared, I couldn’t agree more with the second one.

I think you look amazing with your black outfit. You must try it more often honey. Pop some bright colors sometimes partnered with your black outfit, I’m sure you will like it.

I love this look on you. I think you can pull off any look you wanted, but white seems so you because I think of white or blue when I think of Greece. 🙂 I used to wear all-black A LOT.
Your post is so inspiring Stella. Life takes you wherever you desire with a lot of hard work and determination. I’m really glad we were both able to attend. 🙂 This outfit you’re wearing is even more phenominal in person! I miss you. You’re one stylish mama!
Xo,

You look like a doll ! Beautiful Stella.
I completely love the look. The baker boy hat gave the outfit a sexy edge.. you rocked it.
I dont like an all black look . I always add other colours especially on my upper body.
Seriously, can you do any wrong? LOL. Another classic look! So chic and sexy!
