It's come to my attention that I dress too much like an old lady. I've been thinking about that lately and I think I need to chill a bit with the old lady clothes and savor my youth. That does not mean that I am not going to shop for old clothes, but I have to be creative with what I choose to wear. Spring is upon us so I thought I would check out some inspiration. Here is what I'm digging:
I can play with my love for black during the evening of course and go for something crazy like what Miss Chloe is wearing. She's definetly sexy, but not trashy and that is exactly what I like. Another thing that I adore about this outfit is that its kinda 80's and I never wear anything from that decade. What I need to purchase to compliment what I have in my current wardrobe: leather thin black jacket and lacy black see-through dress. Oh and I think I will skip the huge cross and sport a rosary, I am sure that will make my mother very happy ;)
So I thought...who screams sex with their clothes?? I then immediately looked for D & G's Spring 2008 Ready-To-Wear Collection and I did not love anything in particular, but I did like how a cute spring airy short dress looks paired with a cute fitted leather jacket. It's a combination of girly and badass and there are not too many layers here. I do not have any fun little dresses like the one above, but I am thinking of chopping and tweaking an old lady dress that I have never worn. I would also need to hunt for a brown leather jacket to complete the look.
Speaking of fun spring dresses I dig this one by Anna Sui's Spring 2008 Ready-To-Wear Collection. It's fun, youthful, and it looks totally vintage...gotta love that. I also really like the see-through metallic socks, I need to find me a pair!
Here is another effortless look by Anna Sui's Spring Collection. I'm thinking about doing a skirt like that with a vest (no shirt) and a scarf. This is absolutely perfect for the hot scorching days to come when you must look fabolous, but cool at the same time.
There's a lot of classic cotton pieces like these in DKNY's 2008 Spring Ready-To-Wear Collection. Shorts are a total essential for Spring, but so difficult to shop for. On me they look bulky and the ones that do fit are too long. What I like about this outfit is that it's simple in the sense that there is not much going on, but it looks totally sexy. I think the belt totally creates that sex appeal because it highlights the waist.
This last one is up my alley, I know for a fact that trousers look great on me. I like the tank tucked in and the red obi, a simple diy project. This look could totally be worn from day-to-night, which is another plus.
