Thrift Inspiration, Alexander Wang Style-round 2!

Inspired by Nic at She's Dressing Up, I thrifted this leather skirt last weekend and like her, wanted to wear it dressed down. Again, I was inspired by Alexander Wangs RTW Summer Collection to do an outfit post, mixing grey marl and leather, similiar to the model above.

I'm wearing my Comme Des Garcons grey marl t-shirt, 99p, Collier Row boot sale, Zara long sleeved grey tunic £3.50, Sue Ryder Care charity shop, leather skirt, £2.99 Sense charity shop, stud belt, 50p, Collier Row boot sale

Thrift Inspiration, doing it Alexander Wang Style!

So, the Alexander Wang post yesterday really inspired me as one of my favourite looks was pastels, particularly the blazer outfit. I think a blazer is a fabulous addition to your wardrobe and such a classic piece to own too-a decent quality one will last for years to come.

I was lucky to get this pastel pink Burberry blazer at Mrs Stings Designer Sale. What I love about it is the colour and the cropped sleeves and length, it is ideal to wear with jeans and also a summer dress too.

I wore my black camisole underneath, which has a sheer lace panel, again inspired by the Wang summer collection, my Sass & Bide jeans and my cream high heel peep toes by Next from the boot sale for £1.

A blazer can really pull an outfit together and I know I'll be making use of this one a lot this summer. My next post is also Alexander Wang inspired, but a more dressed down look-watch this space!!

Alexander Wang RTW Summer 2009

As you may all be aware, Fashion Designers are showing right now for Fall 2009. For the majority of us, summer can't come quick enough, so I've picked my favourite outfits from Alexander Wangs RTW Summer collection from Style.com

What I love about these outfits is how inspirational and adaptable they are for us to intepret and put into our wardrobes. Some pieces you may well have already, such as grey marl (t shirt or sweatshirt), denim, leather or sheer and they all make great casual, stylish daywear.

A pastel blazer is a timeless classic for this summer

This outfit is very inspirational, so casual chic and can be copied so easily for a daytime look.







I love the sheer top combo with the grey sweat shorts, another great idea for summer.



Another outfit which is stylish and easy to wear and my next post is an outfit post inspired by one of these looks!

Have you been inspired by any particular designers this Summer?

Sonia Rykiel-Interview

The very talented and stylish designer, Sonia Rykiel, has recently been awarded the Légion d’honneur for her 40 years of service to French fashion. She is mainly known for her love of rainbow stripes and knitwear and I'm pleased to have thrifted one of her gorgeous pieces for only £2.49 from Help The Aged charity shop last year.
