Of all the runways that ran way deep into the substance of which my soul is made, on the way over, nothing tugged at my heart strings quite the way Chloe did.
The F/W collection was colorful...
The F/W collection was colorful...
...Elegant (albeit slightly Amish)...
And generally scaley...
But the look that took the cake for me...
Also conveniently looked like a cake! Yes, I've implemented this joke before. Whatchu goin' do 'bout it? People are so keen on recycling tangible goods, what's wrong with a little joke re-application here and there? And we're back. This collection was everything. Everything, I tell ya. Pleats, bowners, hues of white and a very special shoe with a t-strap. A t-strap! So I did what anyone would do in the situation and dug deep into the contents of my closet to recreate the look. Below is what happened.
booties: Valentino
I grew overtly excited by the nature of my skirt, flying high and low, far and wide, so I continued on my quest to do what anyone would do and...(...This is fun!)
Twirled around like a little human cupcake until ashes to ashes, my ass fell down! So, are you smitten by how neatly my coat's bow is tied? My mom did it. She likes tying things. In fact, I didn't learn to tie my own shoe laces until I was ten years old and I speculate that is no oversight on my motor-skills behalf.
I digress.
I call this photo "Girl on The Run." I wasn't going anywhere. In fact, there's no where to go. Except perhaps, into the full length window directly in front of me.
In another photo, I display inherent modeling skills.
As you can see, I was born to do this. Tweet me for bookings! Will model for sea shells.
And now I ask you: Who wore it best?
You must admit, my leg flexing while maxing capabilities are unmatched. To some minute degree.
...Are you going to recreate any Fashion Week looks? If yes, please send photos and tell of your tales.
In the mean time, you can watch this mini silent film Naomi shot and breathe a sigh of relief because I didn't fall off the balcony while simultaneously wondering WTF I'm spewing.
...Options of cash prize or peep show for anyone who guesses right!

Love your outfit! That skirt moves amazingly in the breeze.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Good job recreating that look.
ReplyDeleteif betty crocker ever wants to sartorially update and repellerize their feminine cartoon construction, you would definitely be in the running. this outfit is incredible, and i am pretty sure i would wear that skirt on the daily if i owned it.
ReplyDeletespeaking of "ashes to ashes," david bowie at least, when is the clown, marionette, harlequinn post coming? just an idea...

first collection has some serious man repelling going on. but you look adorable as always! i am loving that poofy skirt look.
ReplyDeletehttp://wordbyjessie.com
gorgeous look!!
ReplyDeleteWAW love the outfit!
ReplyDeleteI grew up around the Amish and trust me, none of those are Amish-like. Mennonite, maybe. Either way, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING look and the video is SOOO good!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your dress!

Your mom needs to do a tutorial on bow-tying, mine always come out like a knotted mess that would make a boy-scout cry.
ReplyDeleteLuvs it! The highest form of entertainment on my Google Reader. Hands down...
ReplyDeletehahahaha oh my gosh this is all brilliant
ReplyDeleteyou definitely wore it better, you're personality shines through and the model apparently doesn't have one.
where do you live/where are you??
that room/balcony looks so elegant! I want to be there instead of this freezing library not studying for American Icons.
so what I learned today: Chloe = color, Amish, scaley. got it.
I love the dress and the shoes! And yes, your bow is impeccably tied. The whole look kind of reminds me of Pride & Prejudice for some reason...

gurl you're beyond hilarious!! this post killed me! and btw-- my co-workers and i (at the lovely louloumagazine.com) have the best time, shooting the shit via email over your f-ing brilliant one liners. we dieeeeeeeeeeeee.
ReplyDeleteand as for the look: it's so good. love the decadent bow at Chloe and your rag and bone skirt: it's love. pretty sure it's an interlude to repelling.
Stunning beyond words and modest too!! Great for my haute fashion blog for Jewish women. Can I borrow some pics?? Btw I worked with a friend of yours recently...

"Will model for seashells." Haha, that is great. I really like this Chloe remake on you, it's a softer and more delicate look, which is very pretty. Really like the outrageous bow, too. You totally wore it best, of course!

Wow, think you actually have a perfect summer look going there. Way nicer than the runway look :) Beautiful dress and those shoes are to die for!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, loved the movie.
I love that you took a runway look and put it into your own way so you can wear it during the day.
ReplyDeletewhy learn to tie laces? Velcro is the way to go when you're talking rubber soles. jaja
ReplyDeletestyling looks amazing, well done

You crack me up, it's great to come across a fashion blog with a ton of humor!! It is so true, many of the fashion trends we follow are male-repellers...my mom has always said that women dress up for other women, not men, because they don't usually notice (and when they do, it's usually a bad thing, lol) !!
ReplyDeleteGreat job recreating this. The attitude's a bonus. Cheers!
ReplyDeletehttp://mouthmotions.blogspot.com/
loooove that look the best myself!! you rock it as well haha, you have so much fun i love it!!
ReplyDeletelove your dress!
