Once More With Feeling

Wearing: 3.1 Phillip Lim sweater, Kate Spade bag, Barneys boots, Acne skirt, Miu Miu sunglasses, Jennifer Fisher earrings

Somehow managed to forget the head-to-toe photo. So here it is. Once more with feeling. I can see myself using the Acne skirt + knit top quite often this season. The Barneys boots I got on ridiculous sale at the start of summer are fast becoming a favorite of mine, if only for their leg slimming effects. Legs + slimming = no brainer. Now that's an endorsement, ladies.

NYFW: 3.1 Phillip Lim

This couldn't be any further away from the pastel creation that was the Spring 2012 collection! But I love, none the less. I love how some of the same elements have carried over to this fall collection, like the sheer layering, the collars, and the pants, but I kind of miss the intricacies of the the kite inspired tops. The oversized coat with the menswear inspired fabric is definitely something I want to be wearing next fall. The sheer pants under the skirt? Definitely love that combination of scantily clad and covered up. Just as I was getting used to color, Phillip Lim comes back with a strong argument for well structured silence.
