Upscale Your Wardrobe!!

My friend, Isabel, and I were talking about fashion the other day...... about how to upscale your wardrobe from certain designers w/o looking like you are wearing a uniform.  While she is so crazy about Marni that she'd buy couple pieces from Marni every season to mix up the look to be her own.  Brilliant ideas, isn't it!!

Me? 

I am loving Missoni/or M Missoni and I start looking into more affordable pieces from their collection.  To get me start and at the same time to upscale my wardrobe w/o piling up so many fashionable pieces that I'd want to give away when they become past-season.

I don't think I ever come across this fun yet elegant striped wavy design from either M Missoni or any other designer.

1. Top:
M Missoni dress 08' 
M Missoni sweater 10'F (found it at Loehmann's ^^ The sweater is a perfect match for the dress...they are even the same colored pattern. )

 2. Accessory:
DKNY knit socks
Chanel 10A orange/rouge 226 reissue

3. Shoes:
Chanel 08' camellia satin heels

The scallop waves on the sweater adds a subtle whimsical feminine look to this M Missoni.

Hi Rachel,

Love your cardigan!!! Very chic and it does go with your dress from 08....
Hey, morning, girl:
I know... I was going to ask you take a look but you already did...

I am surprised when I found that sweater couple months ago. But didn't get it until we talked on the phone and realized that I should... they are meant to be each other. ^^

I was going to say that I had seen some Missoni pieces at Loehmanns recently - and you already mentioned it in your post! =) Similar minds!
Good morning, Anh:

Really? You now, you should get some (I don't think I ever saw you wear their clothes line...yet..??)

But your figure is perfect for those zig zag prints, lean, and long. ^^

I guess you saw some in Loehmann's at SF city then?? Hum.. I wonder if they carry the same styles in different locations. ^^ Try on some, I love seeing you in "pencil" skirt. :) Pretty!!
