Fashion Tip of the Week .45 [Guys & Girls Edition]

So wow, tip 45, almost reaching # 50! How exciting. So I'm thinking of a make-over for this blog; specifically, perhaps making it into its very own myspace page.

Fashion Tip
of the Week #45: So this week, I thought I'd elaborate on the knit idea and how you can adjust it to fit you. Remember, knits encompass ALOT of things. It could be a vest-pullover to knitted sweaters that your grandma gave you. ALOT.

Guys_ Here are some fantastic looks that mixes vintage chic and fashion forward looks. This is from DSQUARED2 Autumn/Winter 2005:
look
1 ~ this look emphasizes the fur trim on jackets. I turn back to their old collection because ALOT of the trends from A/W 05 returned. Hats are also a big plus this autumn/winter season.
look
2 ~ The professional knits. Here is how to incorporate knits back into your wardrobe without it being too casual. Emphasis on the v-neck vest-pullover. Punch ur outfit up with a black peacoat with brass buttons for a napoleonic era look. Simple stuff like that can make a HUGE difference.

Girls_ now i turn to Michael Kors Fall collection 2006 for the knit looks...
look
1 ~ This everything i want you to be wearing. To add some color, take a bold wide red belt and create a waist by placing it below your bust line. Add some 'net-stockings and bust out those red shoes you have been saving to wear for a special occasion.
look
2 ~ here is a way to take those city shorts that you have in your closet and mix it with your autumn/winter wardrobe. This look takes what could be drab into something fashionable. Take ur knitted sweater (which you use as a shirt), add a touch of the right accessories (skinny/thick scarves and mesopotamian bangle), add the city shorts and BOOM you got urself a quality outfit.

Featured Item of the Week: So this week u'll thank me... Continuing my mixture of expensive and cheaper priced items... go to your nearest PAYLESS Shoe store and get a pair of these boots. GIRLS, boots with buckles are a strong trend and to get what would be $500+ boots for only 45 dollars is a steal. The label: Abaeté; Boot name: Sky boot in black satin from designer Laura Poretzky.

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)!
