Style Diary: 1 Dress 2 Ways

If you want your clothes to work overtime, you’ve got to figure out ways to wear it now and wear it later.  It’s all about styling for various weather conditions and styling for different occasions.  Once you get the hang of it, you can get the most out of your wardrobe.

I bought this satin blue dress while on a trip to Shanghai.  I fell in love with the pockets and easy style.  The material makes it seem fancy but the style is quite casual and you know I loved the mix in contradictions.

In the summer, I wore it with bright pops of color that first started with this funky sequin clutch and ended with an equally rainbow-like chunky necklace.  The pink scarf was a freebie from fashion week and the shoes were jewel-encrusted Ann Taylor shoes I bought on sale.  The entire outfit was only around $200.

This winter, I wore the same dress with wooly color-speckled tights, suede fringe ankle boots and a fur cropped jacket.   I also had on a fitted black cardigan which is not pictured here.  See, blue and black CAN go together!

I’ve been so caught up with work and wedding planning that I’ve sort of been ignoring this blog!  So much so that I hadn’t even had time to promote my last goody bag giveaway.  Because only 1 person entered, I’m extending the deadline to April 14, 2011.  Click here to enter to win a NYC goody bag from fashion week!

FabCam and Fab Kids – Fashionable Kids from Fashion Week

It’s not just the adults from fashion week that have heads turning.  If you look closely, you’ll see some very cute mini-me’s dressed to the nines!  How these kids snagged coveted fashion week tickets when adults can’t even sometimes figure their way in, I have no idea but check out what they’re wearing!

Isn’t she just a doll?  And look at those perfectly curled locks!  She left me wondering how I could achieve such perfection. hmmph.  Jealous!

I love the clash of menswear pieces with girly frocks.  This little one got it SO right.  Tutu + tie necklace + vest = fashionista!

This mini-fashionista fit right in with her carefree locks and well-planned outfit.  See how the tights, shirt and skirt are so well matched?  I love the casual cool blazer and the little charm shoes too.

What girl can resist a little sparkle? This little one rocked her gold sparkly slippers with a girly pink dress.  I wish I had asked her to take her coat off for the shot so we could see more.

It was a fashion week first for this lucky girl who scored her very first ticket through her dad (who worked with the designer).  I loved her headband and couldn’t resist the fact that she chose her own outfit that day.  Too cute, huh?

And quite possibly my favorite mini-fashionista of all time was Alexander Wang’s niece.  Who says you can be too young for fur and Chanel? Photo from fashioncopius.typepad.com
