I love Carolina Herrera’s personal style…
Saturday, October 31, 2009
...she always manages to look youthful, extremely attractive, feminine and modern--all at once. She says, "I love the idea of elegance and intricacy, but whether it is in a piece of clothing or a fragrance, the intricacy must appear as simplicity,” --and I totally agree!
One of her secrets is the combination of the sporty-ish white shirt (with sleeves for coverage) combined with a long dressy evening skirt. This is a great idea for the holidays--if you want to keep somewhat covered, want to look modern and not predictable. Remember Sharon Stone with her GAP tee at the Academy awards combined with her gorgeous, voluminous black skirt? It goes with my "ying-and-yang" theory of the artistic mix. Adding the right dramatic jewelry adds to the unexpected effect . One of my favorite fashionistas of all time--Millicent Rogers (I mentioned her as one of my major influences in my "Forever Cool" introduction) sported that look in her day.
Ralph Lauren is showing the look for this holiday season with a long, slim pale silver charmeuse skirt.
Accessorize with great evening shoes, a slim dressy belt, and bag--and you're good to go!
