Boyfriends & Birkins



I love when I see two similar but different looks...especially being rocked by a young socialite and a not as young fashion editor!

What they wore:
  • Boyfriend Jeans
  • Sheer Blouse
  • Fitted Blazer
  • Platform Pumps/Bootie
  • Hermes Birkin/Kelly

Why I like the look:

  • Boyfriend jeans have quickly become this seasons mainstay as they continue to be worn about the fashion world...even on the red carpet. Comfortable yet chic a look that can be dressed up or down.

  • Feminine meets masculine: by pairing a flirty sheer blouse with fitted blazers added a bit of edge to an otherwise demure top. Adding a scarf in a contrasting color (as seen in the white against black) gives the basic tee and blazer more interest.

  • Pumps with attitude: both muses selected shoes that everyone will notice. So take note: when dressing up boyfriend jeans ditch the flops and opt for a unique platform whether it's strappy, a peep toe bootie, suede or even studded here is where you get your glam.

  • Classic Bag: Both women opted for a classic...okay yes iconic bag. I love the way they mixed the rough rocker with a simple traditional bag. We all aren't fortunate to own an Hermes...but we all own a basic black tote.

So, the next you are questioning whether your boyfriend's will work for the night out...take a cue from these muses and add a bit of your personal style to the look we've all grown to love!

Ciao'
