Look of the Day: Feb 9th, 2011

Channel Your Inner Fashion Icon!

Here at Designed Dreams I always talk about owning your look. So for this entry I though I would give you guys example of leading ladies that own there looks and channel them into looks that are easy for average people to do. So now I present to you, some of my fashion Muses. Enjoy! And let me know what you think!

Style Icon: Dita Von Teese
This look is my vintage/ preppy girl look. This is polished and adorably vintage. You can't go wrong with pink, light colors or pastel. Skirts are totally the game maker in this look. A cute airy thin material top is key. And skin tone shoes wrap up the dainty 1940s type look.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Style Icon: Janis Joplin
I can see you guys scratching your heads like. Hmmm why Janis Joplin, that a little bit odd. Just roll with me, there's no reason to be a Cry Baby.Floral is HUGE this year. I channeled Janis Joplin for this because I needed someone who understood the true meaning of flower power. Pick up floral dress or skirt and match it with brown/tan/tope ankle boots. Add some glasses and head to the beach!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Style Icon: Beyonce
Girls get ready to be upgraded! This look is a great evening look. Its 200% GLAM and 110% amped up. A cute 'Freak em' sequenced dress (gold, silver, or even black) With a pair of matching pumps. Some HIGH VOLTAGE jewelery and a cute clutch is all you need! Try this look for the next time you go out, you'll fall dangerously in love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Style Icon:Rhianna
This look is for the strong rocker/bad ass chick. Essentials? Some nice High wasted shorts or pants with a cute pair of wedge shoes or pumps. Add black lace shirt under a fierce military jacket. With some faux string of pearls and a fierce pair of glasses, you will be the Only Girl in the world that goes Hard ;] !

Spring Essentials: The Maxi Skirt

Runway 2011 use of Maxi Skirts
(Alberta Ferretti Spring 2011, Lanvin Spring 2011, MaxMara Spring 2011, Akris Spring 2011)

Although there is still snow on the ground, it's always good to be prepared. So for the next couple weeks I will be giving some articles of clothing and at the end of all this I'll put some outfits together.

The Maxi skirt, to me is a very bohemian chic article of clothing that can be dressed up or dressed down. Maxi skirts are frequently seen on the runway. So why not add it to your wardrobe?

Dress it up: Add accessories, a wide belt, and a cute silk or lace blouse.

Dress it down: throw on some flip flops and an old band T-shirt with one shoulder out. Great Boardwalk/beach look!
