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.

 MY ODJ

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.

Almost Halloween~ Let's warm up!!

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!!

Make It Work!! Isn't that the State of The Art For Fashion Trend!!!

Yes, I would think if you flip through most runway fashion magazines, you would be inspired w/ awe.   WHY? Cause' every piece seems work out together just fine...oh, not just fine, it is nearly fabulous looking......on models. :P People constantly ask me if that's ok to wear socks w/ peeptoe heels, mary-jane, sandal heels......etc. and as a matter of fact, I LOVE that style ever since I had memory.  ^O^ The only challenge is what kind of socks you choose to go w/ it!! Sheer metallic socks w/ sandal heels.  Burberry Possum plays a lot socks w/ sandals platform since last spring. Isn't the lace knee wraps fun!!   Christopher Kane's S/S 10 collection uses lots of gingham patterns.  Do you think you can still find your grand mom table clothes or old dress to update its look a bit!!?  Nothing not to love about those light fabric... so romantic.  Louis Vuitton (RIGHT) plays w/ such intensive patterns n' different cuttings...
