I decided to do a little post about my Polyvore addiction. Whether its stuff I can't afford (hello Alice and Olivia, stop making stuff I love), or stuff I can't fit into (yet), I LOVE to create sets on Polyvore. I figured I would start posting about them here in a little section I will call "Silhouettes I love".
Most of what I love about fashion can be seen in just the silhouette. I am not huge on prints, although I do love texture. I just really adore a nice, well tailored outfit. You know, the kind that looks chic, but not overdone. Thought out, but not 'planned'. Whether its cutoffs and a tank, or a great dress... there is a right way and a very, very wrong way.
So, let me know what you think!
This is one of my favorites right now, for summer. I think this shape really works on everyone, and depending on the shape of the jacket, can really create an hourglass look without looking va-va-voom! I also love how this can go from day to night, so easily with a little jewelry.
This one, well... I just love it. I think its comfy, and sexy, and fun... and just says, "hey, let's stroll down Venice beach and people watch all afternoon"
This look is a classic. It's hard for me to pull off, since I think it looks best with thin legs, but with a tunic the right length it can work. The nude wedges certainly help. This is another look that can be totally transformed by a shoes switch-a-roo.
THis is a fall look that I adore. Every year for the past decade I have sought after the perfect boots, jeans, long length shirts... all to create this cozy, sexy, easy look. I just love it, can you tell?
This set... trouser jeans, breezy open knit, a lovely leather bag... what else can I say? an everyday look that is easy and stylish.
This is my favorite 'night out' look. I love the ease of the dress, with the edge of a brightly colored bag and the octo-cuff.
What I will be realistically be living in all summer... minus the awesome yet long necklace that my infant son would only pull on all day :)
If I could wear only one outfit, my whole life... this would be it. I actually saw this shirt IRL, and didn't get it, and will forever mourn the loss. Do you ever do that? No... just me? Great.
So, there you have it. A few of my favorite basic shapes. From day to night, girly to rolling around on the floor with kids. Fun for every shape and size... do you have a favorite?

I really like them all, but my fav is the striped shirt jean shorts combo, with the long dress second. I am an apple shape, so I try to accent my legs and hide my belly. The muffin top is my mortal enemy. Not for long though!! :)
ReplyDeleteAt my probably weight I am an hourglass, with thicker legs, so I am pretty much the opposite of you, lol. I hide the thighs and like form fitting waists. However, I had to stop that since I have a spare tire at the moment, lol
ReplyDeleteI love the Pretty Woman style polka dot dress and the H& M sandals!
