I stumbled across a website recently that for me, is PURE eye candy. The premise behind the site is to feature street fashions from around the world and showcases fashionable Euros, South Americans, North Americans and every where in between. There were so many styles that provided me with a muse to emulate before checking out my closet on this day, however I only selected a singular look to show off on this post and thought it only appropriate to help you, dear readers, find some similar items so that you resemble a chic style icon from a culture outside of your comfort zone.
So I begin with the lovely brunette above from one of my favorite countries, both known for its steadfast style and bourgeois attitude, France. There are a lot of different components to this particular look that have been thrown together but still work – there’s a little Western influence (think SW US) in the cropped cowboy bootie, a bit of Brit seen in the red military style jacket, and of course a generous portion of prettied-up Parisian with an accordion pleated, romantic slip dress.
STEAL IT!
The cowboy booties are a Steve Madden find and cost about $150… Not a bad price especially since you’ll be wearing these babies ALL the time. Don’t forget to don your black tights – if you still don’t have any I like Express or the brand Hue… Which ever you pick make sure they have a high opacity… And finally, the dress… While not exact this tiered cutie caught my eye at tobi.com and also will set you back a buck fifty.
I couldn’t quite decide on which coat or jacket I liked more so just threw both of them up. Both are military inspired and would look fabulous thrown over the LWD… If you are more partial to color you can try the Karen Millen featured right that will cost a pretty penny (about $300) while the mocha lovely tot he left is about $200. Coats and jackets are always a good investment, and when taken care of will last a lifetime – remember its the first and last impression you leave when attending an event to simply walking into the room so choose wisely.
