MAXIMISING YOUR WARDROBE - THE DENIM VEST

ONE OF THE TRENDS AGAIN FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2010 IS THE SHORTS AND WITH OPAQUE TIGHTS YOU CAN MOST DEF CARRY THIS PIECE TO AUTUMN/WINTER. GERALDINE SAGLIO DOES THIS A LOT. :)

TO MAKE THE ENSEMBLE LOOK A LITTLE SERIOUS, PAIR IT WITH HIGH HEELED OXFORDS AND A STRUCTURED BAG.

SHORTS: PROMOD
OPAQUE TIGHTS: ZARA
OXFORDS: ZARA
BAG: MY STRAWBERRY SHOP

MARC JACOBS FEATURED QUITE A FEW GRUNGY ENSEMBLES IN HIS COLLECTION FOR AUTUMN/WINTER 2010 AND I KIND OF FEEL THAT THIS LOOK IS SWEET MEETS GRUNGE BECAUSE OF LAYERING AND THE BOOTS.

MILITARY JACKET: FOREVER 21
TANK TOP: ZARA
DENIM VEST: THRIFT STORE
OPAQUE TIGHTS: ZARA
BOOTS: NEW LOOK

OUTFIT ONE VERSION TWO JUST BUTTONING THE VEST MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE WITH THE SILHOUETTE.

One the trends this Spring/Summer 2010 is Denim. Some people went all the way and decided to go a la Dolce and Gabbana and paired a Denim top with their jeans. One of the key pieces for this season is the Denim Vest and I bought one myself in a Thrift Store in Deira. But I have to admit that I have only worn in once and seeing that Spring/Summer will soon be over, I needed to find a way to extend the closet life of my Spring/Summer Purchase, so, I came out with the following ideas.

VALENTINE'S ENSEMBLE IN 6 WAYS

Take me to work.

Another office worthy way to wear this ensemble.

HOLA! Cardigan does Espana. Turn your cardi into a bolero.

Take the dress to the office and cover the neck and shoulders

Flip your cardi and give your ensemble a boat neck top

Top and Skirt Ensemble

Fold the sleeves and 3/4 of the bottom half of the cardi. Secure it with a thick belt.

By the way, this was how I wore it that day.

A very girl basic ensemble.

A - Line Dress: CJ and Co

Belt: New Look

Black Peep Toe Pumps: ALDO

A couple of months back I made a post on how to style 1 ensemble in 5 different ways and I am back with another but this time its styling 1 ensemble in 6 ways. I named it Valentines Ensemble in 6 ways because I wore it during happy hearts day

If you look at my older post, you will see that the Black Cardigan from Zara is also back. :)

This post also made me realise now that I am looking at the photos that a good belt goes a long, long way :)

Hope you like this.

SUGAR AND SPICE

FACE THE COLD MONTHS IN TOUGH CHICK MEETS LADY OF THE MANOR FASHION

STEP OUT IN STYLE WITH THESE LACY STOCKINGS

Nothing screams Winter better than a pair of black opaque tights and boots and with reference to my earlier post of 'Winterising' some of your summer outfits, I decided once again to wear one of my short summer dresses 'Winterised' by a pair of lace stockings, boots and a leather jacket.

I love combining something girly with something manly as what I did in the great transition (lacey white summer dress with black oxfords.) and this ensemble is no different. I feel that it makes the look very interesting. Mixing opposite elements in styling can produce great results.

Maybe next time you can sweeten a very manly suit by wearing a lace bustier underneath, a double breasted coat cinced by a corset belt. The combination is endless :)
