Livin' On The Edge

It’s time to step out of your safe zone and channel your inner rebel! Many of you may have been taught to believe the fashion world is governed by austere rules; and should you cross the line you will be publicly cuffed by the fashion police or forever deemed a fashion calamity. This is not the case. Personally, I have thrown out this alleged rule book…and it looks as though Audrina Patridge has done the same. She utilized the premier of the movie The Hangover to give one of the most misunderstood rules the cold shoulder. This is the rule that states one should never wear black and brown at the same time. WRONG! While I do believe there are no rules, I undoubtedly still think fashion crimes can be committed. There is a classy and appropriate way to contravene every rule and Audrina has done just that. The way she paired the two colors appears intentional. This is how it should always be done. She steers clear of a bizarre, muddled look by keeping it simple. The way the loose brown frock is cinched by the black patent belt is refined. It is completed with the gold sandals and oversized, black patent clutch. WAA-LAA!
Now you can get the look yourself! I have tracked down some killer look-a-likes in the event your closet just can’t produce. This Paul and Joe Sister Drape Dress is ja’dore and a little pricey at $229 but I assure you it will provide a bang for every buck. This neutral frock could also be given a taste of shazam with a bright, bold hued shoe, belt or handbag (NOT all at once!). The neutral color allows for great flexibility.

The Antonio Melani Skinny Patent Belt for $38 will sweetly cinch your waist and the gold buckle will give a saucy compliment to the brown frock. This basic piece can also be wrapped around jeans for a more chic ensemble. Additionally, the Sweger Clutch for $30 noticeably takes a nod from the belt, incorporating gold detailing in the zipper. Another amply versatile piece.
Finally, finish it off by stepping into these Guess Multi Strap Platform Pumps for $109.95. The metallic keeps the look luminous and au courant (stylish)! AND, once again the neutral color means they can be rocked with almost anything. Broken down the pieces are clean and neutral but throw them together and you’ve created one delightful ensemble! Lesson learned: Make it look intentional. So ladies, go ahead…take a walk on the wild side. XOXO Brunette
