Festive Fourth Fashions




My 4th style this year was my Dries Van Noten polka dot blue shirt and blue jeans with striped, bowed and polka dot espadrilles with red Wayfarers and a Arcadia red patent leather satchel. I even did my toes in "Blue My Mind" OPI nail color to complete the red, white and blue look.

Favorite Blog Inspired Search



The first fashion blog I ever read became my favorite: The Glamourai written by Kelly Framel. The first post I read regarded one of Kelly's big obsessions: Dries Van Noten. After several posts about this fashion designer, I decided to take a closer look at what all the fuss was about. Dries Van Noten makes beautiful clothes that flatter a women's figure but also uses the most exotic and unusual fabric combinations. One of my favorite looks from 2010 Spring/Summer is a cargo type pant shown with a collarless jacket plus the most beautiful seed pearl necklaces. The look is fresh and casual yet dressy and feminine at the same time.

Since eyeing those beautiful necklaces I have been searching for similar ones. Finally found two together after looking for months! I can now attempt a Dries Van Noten look at a fraction of the cost with my own cargo pants and a great J. Crew jacket I picked up at an outlet store for 90% off.
