Off Duty Looks I Love
Over the past couple of days there have been a few looks that have popped up on my radar that I have fallen in love with. Let me share them with you.
1. Katie Holmes wore a wonderful silk blouse with her jeans and snakeskin heels. Her hair was tied back, she had a smile on her dial and the whole thing worked brilliantly. I would wear this in a heartbeat.
2. Anne Hathaway tripped around Paris in her on-trend white lace dress and orange heels. Of all the white lace dresses we have seen lately, this is probably closest to what I would wear — the v-neck and sheer sleeve being so very flattering.
3. Alexa Chung layered a dotty blouse under a quilted leather jacket with a denim romper squeezed in between. She popped on a pair of clogs and a new LV bag, and before you know it a pile of designer gear looks like it has been in her wardrobe forever and she just threw it together. It is her unique talent.
4. Rachel Bilson does off-duty better than most. Her cool stripe vest and actual cut-off jeans shorts (as in actually cut down from her old jeans) look great teamed with her booties. Add 1 x Chanel bag for insouciance. And you are done.
What a great quick lesson in dressing down. You pick your favourite style.
