Gaga for Gowns at the Met Gala

Sheer Genius

As I wander around the archives of my most favorite website (Style.com) and refresh myself on Spring RTW 2011 I always look for trends I would love to duplicate.  Now most looks of designers like John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, and Valentino are simply unattainable for a poor college sap like myself, however I can take away the essence that their looks achieve.  Now Sheer is here.  It's EVERYWHERE from Pre-fall 2011 to every single runway of Spring RTW 2011 has a sheer element to it, and it makes so much sense considering the versatile fabric is honestly the superhero of all fabrics, IT CAN DO ANYTHING! What is better then an article of clothing that has chameleon like qualities && can transform from one look to another so flawlessly.  NOTHING. Sheer elements can be Feminine when paired with lace, Sexy with an exposed bra or leopard sheer print or charming with a sheer polka dot.  It can be in a neon pink for Spring or sultry slate gray for Winter.  It's a SHEER thing that Sheer is here, and not going anywhere.  Let's hit the pics... Honestly there is a lot, just couldn't help myself.

Balancing Act

Thursday night, and everyone is going out (needlesstosay Harpos) but before you are sipping on your quarter draws, triple wells or what have you, there is a vital decision of what to wear?  Now there are those girls, you know you you are, that dress 100% for the male species, boobs, butt, they let it all hang out.  On the opposite side of the spectrum there are ladies who choose to rock the latest, high fashion, man repelling frock or avant-garde granny dress. As for me I honestly try to balance the two, which is no easy feat.  Now I am not saying that I have always been successful, there of course was the night I wore a dark purple lipstick, [middle part] and a flowy free people dress to Forge and needless to say in Columbia Missouri jaws dropped.  But it truly is not an easy task to both find an outfit girls will call adorable and men will find you sexy.  So are you a Megan Fox or a Olsen sister? Lets hit the pics && the rules...
