Operation Desert Storm

Stella McCartney Fall 2010

 Perusing through the latest edition of Harper's Bazaar and saw a section entitled: How to Wear Camel. I immediately thought of the several fall 2010 fashion shows from Michael Kors which featured all the textured camel-colored sweaters to the Chloe trench coats. Invest in a trench or blazer (since it will essentially go with everything) and pair it with either black pencil for a crisp look, or wear a camel sweater dress with brown leather slouchy boots for a more casual feel. Hopefully I will depart from my beloved black ensembles and embrace camel this fall.

What I Wore Today: Marching to Michael Jackson

Jacket: Vintage
Top and Jeans: Banana Republic
Boots: Target
Sunglasses: Chanel

When I saw pictures of Christophe Decarnin's (designer of Balmain) Michael Jackson inspired marching band jackets on the runways, I couldn't help but love the crystal, sequined, strong shouldered jackets. Since then, I've been obsessing about Balmain. I was browsing online and stumbled across Black Luna Vintage on ebay, where I purchased a vintage marching band jacket from the 80s. I scrunched up the sleeves and wore it with boots to create a more relaxed look. I'm contemplating on sewing black sequins on the strips of the jacket, but am still deciding on how that will turn out. In the meantime, here are my inspirations!

and one of my favorite Janet songs: Rhythm Nation!
