Why Did You Wear That: Trail Blazers

By Kirsten|November 13th, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

You may only associate the blazer as a piece of clothing worn by uptight businessmen and those ladies who wear white sneakers on their commute to work, but I’d like to let you in on a little style secret. The blazer is far less boring and uptight than you think it is. As a matter of fact, a blazer can go great for a laid back weekend running errands or a night out on the town with your girlfriends. Check out how Heidi, Miranda, and Blake all incorporated this style staple into their wardrobes this week:

Why Did You Wear That: Fall in Line

By Kirsten|September 1st, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

It seems that fall has decided to pop in a little early this year. The temperatures have dropped and there’s that familiar chill in the air. Luckily, I get cold when I travel so I happen to have one of my favorite Bendel’s cashmere cardis with me. Otherwise, I would be freezing and unable to leave the house.

So,this first chilly fall day has got me compiling my fall shopping list. I’m no Anna Wintour, but here’s my September issue.

Over the Knee Boots– whether you go for a flat or a high heeled version, they will add a sexy edge to jeans and flirty dresses.

Pour La Victoire Malorie boot, $375

co op boot

Barney’s Co-op Over the Knee Buckle Boot, $740

Leather Jacket– if you didn’t grab up a leather jacket for early spring, now’s the time to do so. For fall they are a little more rocker chic and I would stick to black or perhaps a luggage color.

joie

Joie Ailey Leather Moto Jacket, $689

Something Plaid– whether it’s a plaid shirt or just an accessory, plaid is making a come back. Just don’t go plaid crazy. One plaid at a time.

Forever21 Snap Button Plaid Shirt, $11.50

Leggings- Oh, leggings. You aren’t going anywhere are you? Luckily, this season they are available in a multitude of styles. Two stand outs are denim leggings and leather leggings. Just PLEASE remember to cover your hoo- ha no matter what style you choose. Leggings still are NOT pants.

Diane Von Furstenberg Leggy Leather Leggings, $565

Juicy Couture Denim Legging, $88

Boyfriend Blazer– Cute alternative to a jacket on a brisk day. Pair it with skinny pants and a pretty blouse.

Aqua Boyfriend Blazer, $88

The New LBD– the little black dress will never go out of style, but look for new details this fall. Whether it be asymmetrical details or a mesh inset this season’s LBD’s have a little more edge. Dress it up with heels, dress it down with your leather jacket and boots.

bebe

Bebe One Shoulder Mesh Dress, $48

Destroyed Denim– while I think the boyfriend jean will fade out as the temperatures drop, skinny destroyed denim will continue to remain strong. They will look great with a sexy T and booties.
