I am glad they put this dress on a 20 something because when I saw this in the Elie Tahari lookbook, all I saw was a 30 something career woman in this dress.
Great look for Hilary Duff, however I am rather wary of mixing metals, as she does with her silver drop earrings with a gold dress.
Her hair and make-up is a mess, but I like this look otherwise. The shoes are fabulous. The middle look is a tad too much. Too much different textures... Could the third dress be any shorter? I feel like I can see her ____. Plus the t-strap heels are weak. For some reason I kinda like how chic cliche this look is. In a tacky chic way.
This look works for the moody, punky Taylor Momsen.
Although it's not terribly considerate of her to show up at the premiere of a movie starring a famed literary detective, without even a WHIFF of mystery about her person. But, that's our Boobs Legsly. She is nothing if not committed to consistency. She is also rather brave, no? It takes guts to treat your thighs like an end table in a grieving dowager's musty drawing room. But our Boobs is undaunted. She will wear a corset pinned to lace that looks like a mourning veil thrown over some antique furniture. can't you just picture a lamp sitting on her right buttock? -- and she will smile about it, dammit. Although, given that a certain classic holiday movie features a fra-gee-lay lamp in the shape of a lady's leg, maybe she's just being both conceptual and seasonally apt. Mystery solved. Take that, Sherlock.
I am Ksenia and I am a moxie fashionista.
Moxie:
n. Slang
1. The ability to face difficulty with spirit and courage.
2. Aggressive energy; initiative: "Her style has moxie: she takes fashion by the balls and makes it her own"
3. Skill; know-how.
Fashionista:
A fashionista doesn't look at her femininity as a gender flaw.
Where some may be quick to label her a bitch, others actually take the time to get to know her eccentricities.
Fashionistas see fashion as an art; their own bodies are the canvas, and the sense of style they develope along the way is the masterpiece.
True fashion ("true fashion" as in the clothes and not the thin supermodels that wear them) is an expression of identity.
Fashionistas are:
Knowledgable about fashion, style, and, really, what works and what... just doesn't.
To me, fashion is an appreciation and understanding of aesthetics and that application of it in our lives.
