Why Did or Why Don’t: Slip into Something More Comfortable

By |February 25th, 2015|Beauty & Trends, Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

rosie huntington whiteley slipIn the past month, Rosie Huntington Whiteley has made headlines for wearing her underpinnings on the outside- on more than one red carpet occasion.  Personally, I love the look as I’ve worn a nightgown out on the town more than a few times, but it seems to have caught many celebrity fashion onlookers off guard.  How on Earth does a woman other than Blanche Devereaux wear a slip outside the confines of the boudoir?  Well, let’s be serious, many dresses currently on the market leave less to the imagination than a silky slip of fabric.  To me, the implication of what lies underneath is much sexier than four thousand strategically placed cut outs, sheer panels, or up to there slits.  Should you want to follow Rosie’s lead, below is one way to make a very glamourous nightie’s night out complete.

Why Did You Wear That: Chain Gang

gold chainsThe saying is “less is more” but in some cases- like jewelry- without a doubt, more is more.  We’ve double decked out our fingers.  We’ve stacked our wrists.  (I still refuse to use the term “arm party” as it gives me indigestion just typing it).  And I’ve been layering delicate necklaces for quite some time, but just recently stepped up my game by piling on bulky chains in varying lengths and metals to create a look that would make even 2 Chainz envious.

1. Linda Lee Johnson Diamond Isabel Link Necklace, 2. Lucifer Vir Honestus Rose Gold Small Naif Chain Necklace, 3. Luv Aj The G Chain Necklace, 4. Kenneth Jay Lane Double Layer Chain Necklace, 5. Maison Martin Margiela Chain Necklace, 6. Adia Kibur Link Necklace, 7. Venessa Arizaga Sunset Necklace, 8. Irene Neuwirth Diamond Collection Diamond Chain Link Necklace, 9. Gemma Redux Offset Lapis Stone Necklace, 10. Fallon Jewelry Classique Bib Necklace

So start layering ’em on because if two chains are good, four have got to be better.

candy ghost halloweenOkay, so for any of you other ladies who are doing the ultimate stall on selecting a Halloween costume, I have some quick, easy, and not so slutty ideas for you.  If you’ve opted out of the “costume in a bag” but you don’t want to be a total wet blanket, here are five ideas using the frocks you may already own.  I think these are all so brilliant, I may very well wear one of them myself (okay, I’ve already done the mime thing).
