Make no mistake, this is a dream closet scenario. I can probably stretch to afford one of the items and let my house rot, but what fun would that be? I can't live in these clothes, but it sure is nice to look at them.

In Which I Give A Cropped Sweater A Try
Scary. The word and very premise of an adult woman wearing anything cropped is frightening. It makes me recall images of super tall models on runways with super tiny waists and the inescapable feeling that crop tops are not for normal human beings. Like me. A mere 5'3".
Never the less, I gave myself a challenge and decided to figure out a way to style it because there is a part of me that likes the idea of baring a little bit of skin in an otherwise conservative outfit. Especially after seeing it work so well in street style photos.
The key, I found, is keeping the crop to a minimum. Unless you're Hanneli Mustaparta. Then, girl, go for it. A sliver of skin goes a long way here and I learned to appreciate the importance of layering the cropped sweater with something more forgiving and comfortable. Like this Burberry peacoat! Will I try it again? Maybe. The beach is ideal for this since baring skin is the name of the game there. If you're ever feeling brave I say go for it, normal woman.

NYFW: Michael Angel's Energetic Prints & Knits
What's not to love here? Oversized knits? Yes. A lovely model that's anything but boring? Check. A continuation of Michael Angel's celestial prints updated with texture and new shapes? YES. The restrained palette is refreshing to me as I'm really taking a liking to monochromatic uses of grey with punches of color. It looks sophisticated and youthful, and frankly less goth than black can be. Does this mean I'm over the black on black? NEVER!
