Frock Off

This is not your typical math class. I have this sneaking suspicion that Victoria Beckham is working with a specific formula for her casual dress.

a+b+c+d = casual style

where

a = basic knit tank top
b = skinny or wide leg denim or trousers
c = killer heels (No really, they will kill your feet. I read that she’s most likely going to have surgery on her feet because of the ridiculous heels she wears.)
d = hot accessories (big eyewear or envy-inducing handbag)

I even made you a cheat sheet.

When I was checking my email this morning, there was a Top Shop email and it had this sweater in it.

Definitely love at first site. It’ll make a great addition to my wardrobe since chunky knits are in this fall. I’ll be wearing it with dark wash wide-legged jeans or a basic black penicl skirt.

At first I thought the highwaisted pants trend was great but now I’m not so sure. I’m still deliberating…I’ll get back to you guys on my final decision.

I had totally forgotten about these guys till I was reading a post at Blueprint Magazine’s blog, Bluelines. American Apparel has tons of really cute basics that can be worn in a ton of different ways. The other great thing about their stuff is they come in a ton of different colors. Here’s a list of some of my personal favorites.

I really like this Tricot Figure Skater Dress. I know nylon’s got a bad rep but love the shininess of this dress. It would look great as a dress with cute wedges or with a pair of skinny jeans. It’s $48 and currently comes in 6 colors. Here it is in my favorite colors, charcoal (which looks like dark blue) and grape.

Next up is the Baby Rib Cross-Back Summer Dress. I really love this dress. It looks so comfy and refreshing in white. Cute for a sunny Saturday afternoon or running errands. It’s $39 and comes in 3 other colors.

Versatility is big for me when I buy clothing. I want something that I can wear over and over again in different ways. The Jersey Bandeau Dress is great for this. You can tie it into a ton of different styles. Watch the video on their site. It’s $36 and comes in 15 colors. You’re bound to find one that’s right for you. It also comes in a more form hugging style.

I was doing my normal Ebay perusing when I saw the following dress and thought it looked familiar.

This dress really resemblances the dress on Lindsay Lohan and Cameron Diaz. Sorry can’t remember who it’s by off the top of my head.

It also reminds me of a dress I saw during the Abaete Fall 09 show.

The bid is starting out at $9.99 so it won’t break the bank.
