Pei loves her Alexa Chung for Madewell " Ugly cardigan " and I joked that it gives me "Déjà vu" since I found one from Vintage shop couple years ago and they just look so much alike. Except mine is much thicker and warmer and it is ESCADA made in West of Germany.  I don't know how many years can this cardigan be traced back though. lol... I guess I can call mine "The ugliest cardigan" to top Pei's! ^O^ The weather is just so unpredictable! I hardly feel over-warm even with this big coat and scarf on me.  Order this cardigan one size bigger than your regular size for a slouchy look.  Alexa Chung for Madewell  Ugly Cardigan  (click link to see) My ODJ 1.

Outsmart your wardrobe, such as utilizing the details of your clothes as a brilliant accessory would make your ensemble not just fun but versatile.  Those two runway looks are seen from Emporio Armani's 2011 fall looks. The black ensemble never looks such utility yet sexy without those interesting accessories. The cap, the saddle belt, the leather gloves, and the high-collar details perfectly balance an otherwise so body-hugging, black widow suiting look. {If you take off those accessories, it won't be so intriguing  on the runway at all.} (pic. taken from style.com) My Outfit Du Jour  Taiwanese designer "Chu'" metallic silver/black halter dress, Madewell cobalt tee, Tsumori Chisato cat dot harem pants, J Crew earrings, Prada s/s 2011 tortoise sunglasses, Chanel 08' metallic silver 227 reissue, Chloe 08' taupe boots, Pashmina stripes scarf  The two pockets on metallic silver/black dress serves as a saddle-belt look.  {I kind ...
