Why Did You Wear That: You Com-Pleat Me

By Kirsten|November 23rd, 2010|Celebrity Style, Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

I can’t lie, the lovely Ms. Fox inspired this post. I have had a pair of slouchy pleated pants hanging in my closet for a few months now and every time I put them on, I felt a bit more Ellen Degeneres than Megan Fox. After seeing how hot a pair of simple slacks could look, I was inspired to try again. A slouchy pleated pant is a great alternative to jeans, leggings, and your regular dress/work slacks. Here are some great pleated options for you to try out as well:

Friday Frocks: Blushing Beauty

By Kirsten|November 5th, 2010|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

I just can’t get enough of this muted pastel color. I love muted colors to begin with, but this shade is really just so pretty and flattering on everyone. It’s a much more user friendly tone than nude. Blush is a feminine and chic shade that will have all the boys swooning. (Lady Malks, this one’s for you):

Friday Frocks: Double Duty

By Kirsten|October 15th, 2010|Friday Frocks|

I figured why not throw you a bone and do a little double duty Friday Frocks. I know, I know… I haven’t been too helpful in the Halloween costume suggestions this year. Probs because I’m a little over all of them. So, here is a happy medium. Dresses that could be worked into a Halloween costume and then worn again in regular daily life.

With some rhinestone or feather hair accessories, voila! You’re a flapper.

Why Did You Wear That: Put a Sock in It

By Kirsten|August 4th, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

Considering this summer has been my coldest on record, I have decided to go ahead and embrace the fall fashions that are already in store windows. As you’re aware, I’m obsessed with boots and I have always loved legwear (perhaps it has to do with my own time spent in private school) whether it be cable knit tights, over the knee socks, or just some good ol’ fashion knee socks. That’s why I’m elated to see a the return of socks with a vengeance!

Chunky knit socks with boots is the first way that I’m loving legwear:

Why Did You Wear That: What You See is What You Get

Do you remember playing peek-a-boo as a child? Oh, the olden days. When things were so much simpler and there was far less bullshit to deal with on a day to day basis. Sigh. Well, I’ve been channeling my inner five year old and decided that playing a little game of peek-a-boo with your clothing isn’t such a bad idea. I love unexpected sexy, but please take this one with caution and follow my suggestions explicitly. This is something that can go terribly awry and have you looking like a Jersey Shore reject if executed improperly. I’m loving sheer slouchy see through t’s as a comfy, yet sexy top with jeans. The trick is to pair it with a cropped cami or matching (tonal) bralette and keep it covered up on the bottom half.
