Trend Tracking – Part 2
October 27th, 2008
As the second installment of my three-part series, I chose detail-oriented pieces that add a dose of glamor to any outfit. With feathered accessories and intricate shoes, they’re all special enough to make an impact in a subtle way.
Bubble Skirts
Bubble Bow Skirt, $305
Belted Knee Length Knit Skirt, $17.80
This is my favorite look of the season, but it’s turned out to be harder than I thought to find the right proportions in the length and volume of the skirt.
Metallics
Metallic-foil Skinny Belt, $38
Metallic Brocade Dress, $310
I always feel more dressed up when I throw on a metallic piece. The colors illuminate light in such a flattering way.
Lace
Lace Ruffle Top, $19.99
Lace Print Short Sleeve Jacket, £20
This delicate fabric is the ultimate celebration of femininity. I love the challenge of toughening it up with menswear-inspired pieces and edgy footwear.
Strappy Shoes
Pawelk, $110
Lexxa Pump, $168.95
With neutral-colored tights, these strappy pumps quickly become a captivating focal point.
Feathered Headbands
Extra Wide Feather Headband, $85
Feather Satin Headband, $4.80
I adore the natural feeling of having feathers in my hair. They’re light, colorful and add a quirky touch to a plain hairstyle.
