Geraldine Saglio

Who on earth is Geraldine Saglio, and why do we dress alike?

That was my first thought when I stumbled across pictures of Geraldine on the Fashion Spot, a few google images later, I had convinced myself that I could put together identical versions of most of her outfits using clothes in my wardrobe. Geraldine, who has an eerily similar long body shape, dresses exactly how I dress by ‘default’. The fact is, I am always, always, running late, always, and whilst I know I have options, I tend to rely on my default, jeans (skinny, straight, or bell bottomed), blazer, layers and a slouchy tee, sky high platforms and a life line bag.

My second default look (when I allow myself an extra fifteen minutes of lateness), involves mini floaty dress, or skirts, black opaques, ankle boots and a longer blazer… Apparently, so does she.

Geraldine Saglio is the assistant stylist for Vogue Paris, and so she has access to some of the best designed clothes in the world, yet sticks to her simple, yet stylish looks that work for her. I love how she shows off her best assets, her long legs, and isn’t afraid to wear high heels!

Look at all these pictures, do you see what I mean?

It is always nice to experiment, try out new looks, new trends and ideas, but ultimately all girls should know what suits them ‘by default’.
Though I love having the opportunity to really dress up, play with different ideas and inspirations, there is a reason I buy the same jeans, the same tees and the same blazers from specific brands in different colours, it makes life easier, as even on off days, I don’t have to dwell on the mirror before I leave!
