One would think that as "summer" (blazing inferno of humidity, bad hair, and excuses for people not to wear much at all) is not to many calender days off; I'd be dreaming of tank tops, flip flops, and maybe some trendy new shades. Not I. I've actually been looking at some Fall/ Winter '09 fashion, because to honest, I live in layers. I'm not satisfied if my sandals match my T-shirt, I want some gloves and a jacket and some over-the-top scarf to go with! It's non negotiable. So I'd like to show off some captivating images that would make me sweat if I wasn't already.
This is a snippet from the Givenchy menswear fall/winter '09 ready-to-wear line
I was headed over to givenchy.com to check out their spring things when the fall link caught my eye and I must say that I've spent lots of time trying to translate these looks into something affordable. You can be damn sure I'll be rocking it when SUMMER (grrrr) decides to let up.
Here are some of the ideas I'm thinking of bringing together to create these looks. The "thigh high 3-pack" in black from American Apparel (.com) paired with some less formal dress shoes and some cropped shorts (I've had my eye on some at Topman.com). Socks now only about $36.00! I think I'd experiment with cutting and stiching them so that maybe they weren't QUITE so high.
Also Likely with the same shorts these Rick Owens boots (22 inches!) available at oki-ni.com but costing much more than is in my checking account currently, so I've found others for about a quarter of the price that are just as fierce!
