The Impressionist's Silhouette: May 2011

The Silhouette-Summer in Europe

Inspiration.... it moves the wheel of ideas. As I'm heading to Europe this Summer, I thought I would start my outfit ideas going. Please note: I was very sensible with the footwear as the endless cobblestone is a b**** to walk on in heels. I would also suggest wedges, just not too high. I wanted looks that were cool, stylish but not showing too much skin because the short shorts aren't accepted the same way they are in N.A. Items worth noting: hats and more hats. You can even go for head scarfs or turbans; the Jeffery Campbell lace up flats with cut outs (in the last picture), super fresh for the summer and not a casual as a flip flop; the dsquared clutch (in look #1) and the overall colour combo of the browns, creams, and pinks; and the Talbots shirtdress with bikini. Lets go shopping now!

My Silhouette - Work Week, Day 3

Blazer: Club Monaco

Patterned tank: Aritzia

Tapered trousers: DKNY, Winners

Belt: Old Navy

Nude heels: Aldo Shoes

Handbag: Charles Jourdan, Winners

Hey. Hey. So that whole thing about documenting my entire week didn't go as planned. But I will made sure to post 5 work outfits..... slowly. Here is my Wednesday look. I felt super professional yet sexy. I've worn this blazer in so many pictures but that's just because the fit is amazing. Nude heels, of course. And that belt. Now I know some of you non-fashionistas are saying to yourself... ew green, that doesn't match. Well matching is for boring people. Why not be funky and wear a brown and green belt. I think its a great pop of colour. Now, I'm not saying wear a thick neon green belt to work tomorrow, I'm just saying try something a little out of the norm. I had a perfectly fine skinny black belt, but I decided I would see how this one looked and low and behold it finished the look perfectly.
