Remember grunge back when Christina Aguilera had that nasty hair and bad fashion sense? Well this is a more fashion forward way of doing the same thing. It more 2009 than 2003. This outfit was inspired by Alexander McQueen’s Fall ’09 RTW Show. (Oh and have you seen his Spring 2010 show?! Its mind blowing!) I love this skort, it makes me feel like a ballerina. I love ripping tights, it helps me get frustration out. I used nail clippers on these. (They already had a run in them to begin with, so they were unwearable). I wouldnt encourage wearing an outfit like this to a Thanksgiving dinner though. Its not very family-friendly.

I finally got them! Im so happy 🙂 I had to wake up at 5 AM just to order them.

Harem pants are so fab. My mom used to have tons of them in the ’80s, but she had thrown all of them out in the late ’90s 😦 When picking out harem pants, buy ones that arent made out of polyester or any material with spandex they make your legs look like chicken legs. Not good! I picked out a high waisted trouser-like rayon harem pant. These are a clash between menswear pants and harem pants. I love them! I chose to wear a basic outfit and have some killer shoes. Red shoes are a bit risque, but if worn with a simpler outfit; theyre hot!

Since everyone has black ripped tights, I ripped my red ones. Even though high waisted shorts were all the craze last year, i still love them! I mixed in different “styles” of clothing here. Bohemian moccasin shoes, chic high waisted shorts, ripped tights, and a basic t-shirt. I bought this shirt without trying it on, and its pretty formless. So whenever I have a top that doesnt fit well, I pair something high waisted with it.

Needless to say, its the end of warm days. Dont put your dresses, skirts, and shorts away just yet. Its hard to transition into winter clothing. What I do, is take it slow. I start out by layering my summer clothes with some winter pieces. I take summer dresses and add tights to 1) make them edgier 2) for warmth. Speaking of transitioning into winter, I just bought the cutest pair of harem pants from Urban Outfitters the other day, Ill put pictures up soon!

Oh my goodness, Georgina and Keren make the most beautiful dresses. When I saw this dress from their Fall ’09 RTW collection my jaw literally dropped. Its not a dress, its pure art. I did not even know they could do some of the things they do with fabric! The designs are so exquisite and opulent. I want every piece even though Id have no where to wear it. I doubt Im going to a red carpet event anytime soon. Anyways, the embroidery on each and every piece is breathtaking.

This piece looks like origami. Im at a loss for words here. Its utterly amazing.

As you can see, each and every piece in the Fall ’09 RTW collection is completely fabulous and beautifully executed.

I love Taylor Momsen’s Marchesa gown she wore at the amfAR Gala in New York, its elegant and simple. But, this contradicts what she usually wears. In my opinion, she would have looked even more stunning if she toned down the make up for this particular outfit. Which leads me to another topic, your make up has to be coordinated with your outfit. No, im not saying you should wear bright blue eyeshadow if youre wearing a bright blue shirt. If youre wearing a leather jacket and ripped skinny jeans, totally go for a dark eye and nude lip. If youre wearing a high waisted mini and a leather vest with over the knee boots, go for a red lip and cat eye. If youre wearing an elegant, simple dress go for a neutral colored eyeshadow and light pink lip stick. Try to make your whole outfit fluid from head to toe. And that also means, no converse with evening gowns!
