So this week is perfect because it collides with New York Fashion Week. And this week I want to present to all of you fashion forward styles. With short tips so y'all dont have to do all that reading girls!
FASHION TIP OF THE WEEK #17:
I recently found myself admiring Carolina Herrera's work for the spring 2006 collection. You all should soon find a version of these photos that I found promising in your favorite stores...
1 - the reinvention of white shirts with drawstrings - hot commodity; 2 - again with the drawstrings in the shirt makes well with the vest. 3 - This outfit exemplifies chic. The embroidered skirt paired with a simple top with a short sleeved jacket. 4 - Preppy is making a big come back with vests and this outfit shows the "ok"-ness to wear a knit-vest with a low scoop-neck. Pair it with a nice A-line skirt. 5 - Well I simply love this outfit because it utilizes lightweight materials. But what I think will most help you out is the embroidered top that she has over.
So for a summary of this collection key staple items to have BEFORE the season hits:
1_ Fitted Scoop-neck vests
2_ Embroidered skirts
3_ Embroidered jackets (NOT TO BE WORN with the skirts!) -Becomes overkill on the embroidered look.
4_ Thin-material layered items whether that be jewelery or jackets paired with a slik/charmeuse top.
5_ A-Line skirts (*Only for those who need a reduction-in-weight-look in the thigh and hip area. OTHERWISE, tailored skirts fitted towards your curves
6_ Im sorry to say this but HEELS HEELS HEELS! Open-toed stiletto heels. Girls, start training your feet for that!
Another designer that I want you girls to look at for IDEAS of LIKE*-outfits (* = meaning stuff that you can find at Forever 21 or where that looks someone like it) is Zac Posen. He just created a more causal-head-to-the-stores line that is ready-to-wear. Here is his Spring 2006 collection:
1 - Boy-cut denim. You see how it is a little bit more flared and baggy at the bottom? Well that is the new trend on how and what you girls will be wearing soon. I know I have said tailored pants but the boy-cut tailored is fitted every where BUT the leg opening. Plus, the shirt is cute too.
So key staple item in this collection:
1_ Boy-cut baggy-leg opening denim pants. Key element: TO BE WORN WITH HEELS!
So I hope the photos help. Some of you may like it, some of you wont but remember, dont be a fashion follower. Wear the key things that will help you become a trend setter! I know I've been a fighter for heels (esp. stilettos) but in the long run, you will thank me. Next time, I will introduce some fashion looks that will help you out for the fall.
Check back next week for the next fashion tip! Always dress to look your best (Even if it's a pair of sweats and a tee)!
