So, you look at the below cardi/purple pencil skirt look, and I’m guessing your first thoughts are not going to revolve around disco, am I right? Fashion is so subjective, so one never can tell where the inspiration will take the observer, but it certainly had me a little surprised when I discovered that Alessandro [...]

This one is all about how to wear a fur vest. Fur always comes up as a trend on Fall runways, whether it’s faux or for realz. There’s an entire ethical battle over wearing fur, and I am not PETA, nor do I condone wearing the real thing with faux fur technology being what it [...]

One little paradox of a look from Alice + Olivia’s Fall 2011 collection is what started the How-to-Wear (HTW) ball rolling.  The ensemble involves a shined-up dress synonymous with all things cocktail-clad, paired back to a fur-lined, hooded piece of full-on, utilitarian outerwear. Interesting combo? Completely. Wearable off the runway? The answer lies below… Here’s the [...]

Life imitates art. Art imitates life. Somehow I’m going to make dresses fit into that equation. Give me a minute. Ok, a dress can be considered wearable art, and is meant to be worn by all walks of life. Life, art, dress…Done and done.  Bringing the world together, one look at a time. Speaking of [...]

How to Wear Free People’s Raw Edge Military Coat. And…go!  I admittedly have a huge bias towards all things military-inspired, and this jacket from Free People happens to be one of them.

How to Wear a Leopard Print Wedge: It’s an urban jungle out there, so best be prepared to hit the streets with your platform, leopard print, wedges people. How else could you navigate the cement laden city streets than wearing these discreet (if we’re thinking it’s opposites day) wedges from Steve Madden I ask you? [...]

My Favorite Dresses (for twirling & cocktails): Twirling for the sake of twirling is a vastly underrated skill in the adult world. It doesn’t work into a bullet point on your resume, it won’t make you a more well-rounded student, and the movement itself completely deviates off the ‘grown-up-daily-grind’ path that reminds me of a [...]

How to Wear (hide out in) a Cream Silk Dress: I’ll be honest, the girl in the shot below would not necessarily be the sharpest tool in the shed if the game at hand was hide and seek. However, she may be the most stylish player, and that counts for something. This image reminded me [...]
