Steffy – Off Shoulder Top (3.6)

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Pdub

Steffy wore this top 2 of 3 ways that we saw these past few episodes. She wore one shoulder off, full sleeves down, then both shoulders down and sleeves scrunched up. It is tunic length so almost mistaken as a dress given she was wearing black on black. I love the simple black on black though, it was a great sleek look. The chunky shoes and simple but edgy jewelry perfect the look (The third way of wearing this top is not wearing it off the shoulder at all, obviously)

Brooke – Sheer nude top (Feb 23)

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Pdub

See Brooke, see her being the voice of reason trying to convince her young daughter to be more like mom. Hilarious. But she is wearing this cool tunic with a drop waist double belt. The blouse is sheer, and worn boldly here with just a bra. I actually was out with a friend last weekend who wore a very similar sheer top layered on top of a sequin tank. It looked so pretty, really toned down the obvious bling of the sequins and made it more chic instead of too much. I love items that can be re-worked to look many different ways and this is one of them. And this is by Helmut Lang so it has some of their trademark angular construction, here the uneven hemline with a 15 degree asymmetry. Major chic.

Katie – Gray Asymmetrical Dress (Jan 15)

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Pdub

The cut, color and overall design of this dress needs to be worn by a strong character, and Katie is just the gal to do it. This particular dress is by the Helmut Lang design house. Helmut Lang is known for his minimalist, almost severe design, now with his style carried on by the design house owners since 2005. When you think Helmut Lang you usually envision a tall, strong woman with impeccable hair and make up. Katie pulls this look off, and you can see each day her fierce character building even more. Her clothes represent that strength. I suspect another throw-down with Bill is in the future once she cleverly figures out his involvement with the latest Liam/ Steffy marriage meddling.

This is a great look that also transitions well from day to evening.Throw on a great metal cuff bracelet for an evening look. There’s a lot of ‘Real World’ options out there this season. Calvin Klein is also showing a lot of these shapes with a similar muted color palette. I might have to buy one, and wear with some dark tights, ankle wedge boots, and a deconstructed blazer.
