Shiny Little Things

It seems that every season a sort of uniform is established. I have a theory that the fashion set holds a clandestine meeting in a smoke filled room somewhere and they determine what our uniform should consist of for that particular season. Although each fashionista will add her own special touch, the main elements remain the same.

To demonstrate this season’s uniform, I give you Ashley Olsen:

Blazer (in this case over-sized, but the silhouette may vary slightly), sheer or burnout tee, bandage skirt and gladiator style sandal. It is a good look right? Comfortable, stylish, easy and in keeping with the current mood in fashion.

Let’s see some other examples from some of your favorite bloggers shall we?

Exhibit A: Lulu of Everybody is Ugly. (Btw, check out chictopia.com if you haven’t already. It’s a lot of fun) Lulu switched out the gladiator for a shiny strappy sandal and ankle socks. Cute variation.

Exhibit B: Rumi from Fashiontoast. Rumi trades the over-sized blazer for a little leather jacket in these photos.

Exhibit C: Camille from Childhood Flames. Camille’s red hoodie adds a nice shot of color. She is also rocking the famous Heech sandal by Nine West that has been a big hit this summer.
