What To Wear - 20130929

Plaid in every color and shape was on the runways for Fall/Winter 2013 and is going to be in the closet of every fashionista too. How can we transform the trend to match our personal aesthetic? I mean, we all have a plaid shirt and we know how to wear it. Or we may also have a Scottish tartan kilt and go for a grunge look like those on Saint Laurent's catwalk. But this time we also have examples like those on Celine's show that suggest to match different plaid patterns and colors in one look. How do we pull that off without making it look too costumy?

If you have the impeccable style of Christine Centenera I say go for it. Personally I love it. I only recommend you mix different types of plaid (be very very careful) or else the result will be too matchy-matchy.

If you want to play it safe, try it in smaller doses and you won't fail. You could chose one oversized plaid coat, like those of Stella McCartney and make every simple outfit stand out. You could also try a plaid dress which goes with pretty much everything. Try it with pumps, ankle boots or even over the knee boots. Keep the colors of your accessories in the same color pallette of your dress and use a light make up. Done!

Back to work

Back to the city and back to work. Since Summer is still here, instead of a classic suit that consists of a pencil skirt and a blazer try a different version using denim. A denim midi skirt and a shirt will instantly make you look chic and fashionforward. In my opinion, when you wear denim overalls try the bottom to be darker than the top. This look can easily be transformed in an evening outfit by adding some bold accessories like an ear cuff and a different pair of shoes.

Here I am wearing Stradivarius denim shirt, ZARA denim pencil skirt, ZARA pointy heels and ear cuff, Asos rings and Essie "795 Love and Acceptance" nail polish.

Trend Alert - 20130516

The 80's ear cuff is making a come back. First making an appearence last Spring on the runways of Rodarte, Marchesa, Chanel  and Jason Wu and more recently in the Fall collections at Chloe, Thakoon and Dries Van Noten. Combinations of gold and chain, pearls and flowers and even dragon and scorpion shapes the punk rock trend is here to stay. Are you ready to embrace it? I sure am since I already have bought a chic and very affordable version of the trend from ZARA.
