Madison – Silk Purple Blouse (Feb 17)

Madison almost always has a cheery smile on her face, and this festive blouse certainly adds to the cheer. It’s a pretty standard wear with just about anything blouse. It works great as an office blouse, but how about wearing it with jeans, open up a few buttons with a tank and long necklace or turquoise bangle and you’ve got yourself a date outfit.

Brooke – Lace Top (Feb 15)

Brooke looks so pretty in her white lace top, maybe she’s in no-wedding mourning. Regardless you could wear this top a ga-billion ways with colored tanks underneath, a leather jacket on top, jeans or make it formal with a satin skirt.

Her hair is divine with this style of top, with a loose side pony, and wearing encrusted hoops. What a nice sunny day outfit lunching at the outdoor Forrester gym (weird). I can barely workout at my gym with all the special smells and strange sights. I guess Brooke and Katie don’t care about the gal doing sit ups 2 feet from them. Anyhow, pretty top.

Donna – Logan Girls Wedding Party (Feb 10)

Jersey wrap with long sleeves, in a dark navy cocktail length dress. I like it. I think this would be a flattering cut on many body types. Long sleeves for older ladies who do not like showing arms. Gathering in the right spots to hide our imperfections like a little tummy. An embellished waist that slims you in the right spots. Nice one.

Hope – Logan Girls Wedding Party (Feb 10)

We were left with a cliffhanger on Friday, not even knowing if Hope’s wedding is going to happen. We will find out soon enough, but in the meantime, here’s some posts showing what the sisters were wearing:

The Bride to be. Hope’s original creation by Eric/ Ridge Forrester actually looks like it is the J Crew version below with a sequin belt put over top. I like the halter and princess skirt.

Hope – Jewel neck dress (Feb 7)

Hope looks like an Egyptian princess in this dress, and she’s acting like a bit of a princess too with her ‘I want to get married tomorrow!!’ campaign. Just sayin. The copper beading and sparkle at the neck and hem looks chic on the black dress. The jewel neck line with the, well, jeweling is very pretty. It’s a short one though, so beware. It would be a cute day dress with some strappy flats, but also a sassy evening number with some heels.

Here are some similar options

Brooke – Ruffle Top (Feb 7)

Brooke is on a roll this week defending Hope, wowza. She means business and can be taken seriously in her dark business outfit, but she loses credibility a bit with those horrible green pants. If they weren’t so ill fitting, they just maybe would work. I liked where they were going with the black on primary color….it just didn’t work. Anyhow, I’ll focus on the upper half. Her underpinning has a nice ruffle which breaks up the harshness of the structured blazer. I like that the ruffle isn’t too overwhelming so it doesn’t completely take over. It’s just enough ruffle that I think it could be worked with many different outfits.  It would look pretty with a pencil skirt and cardigan, or with some jeans and a bunch of bangles and heels.

Steffy- Fringe Sweater (Feb 6)

(Update 3.8) While researching some other outfits I came across the original of this sweater by french designer Isabel Marant
http://www.isabelmarant.tm.fr/collections-fw1112.php

The sweater is no longer available, but the spring line looks actually very interesting so hopefully we will see Steffy in some of her designs.

I can’t make this blog all about me and what I like, because if I did this ‘hideous sweater award recipient’ would never make the cut. It is unusual though and I’m sure people would like to know where to buy it. Steffy looks very sad here, some say it’s because of her breakup with Liam, I think it’s because of her sweater.

Speaking of sad, I am sad to report I searched for hours, literally hours trying to find this beauty, with no luck. Maybe it’s a sample that never made it to production. However…I do like the nordic or native large scale print over the bulk knit. I’ll be honest though, I hate the fringe. It may work for some though, so maybe you can embellish it yourself with a Sunday craft project on one of these real world options. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Hope- Sheer Floral Tunic (Feb 1)

Another sweet, angelic look for the lovely Hope. I couldn’t find the ‘real deal’ of this blouse but don’t you think it looks like something Jason Wu or Marc Jacobs would design? Maybe looks even a little Prada spring 2012. Jason Wu for Target also came out in stores yesterday, and from what I have heard, items have basically sold out.

So this blouse. The faint floral design, sheer blush color, with a black neck and sleeve trim, work together well. So pretty and feminine, with the bold contrast trimming. I’ve found a few similar options which showcase one of two of the design elements of this tunic. Pretty, pretty, pretty.
