It’s not the first time I featured Olivia Palermo styling her fur cardigan for day and night (check her previous looks here), today let’s share two more outfits of her, learn how to recycle the same piece for various occasions.

Since fur has the connotation of being formal and stodgy, for a daytime look, we need to downplay it by adding bright colors and youthful elements. Here, Olivia Palermo teamed hers with edgy leather pants and biker boots, and brought in colors via accessories like an artful scarf and cherry red satchel.

For a glamorous evening look, we want to bring out the luxurious side of fur but still keep it up-to-date. Olivia Palermo chose rich jewelry tones like emerald green, crimson red and deep brown for a picturesque fall look and kept it current by mixing this season’s favorite textures and hottest hues. Her bared legs also balanced out the bulkiness of fur.

In Chinese: 上次我们分享了两个Olivia Palermo穿着皮草的搭配，今天再看看这两个造型，学学她怎么用同一件单品搭配出休闲和华贵两种look吧!

皮草总让人感觉太正式，还有些老气。要打造白天出街的搭配，最好用明亮的色彩和年轻的元素打破皮草的奢华和正式感。Olivia Palermo搭配了酷帅的皮裤和机车靴，用抢眼的围巾、樱桃红的手包等配饰点亮了整身造型，看起来随意又时尚。

参加宴会或派对时，除了凸显皮草的奢华感外，用流行的元素和适度的露肤度给皮草装扮“减龄”。Olivia Palermo身上的墨绿、酒红、深棕等颜色呼应了皮草的华贵，也符合季节。不同材质的混搭和当季最in色彩的组合让她的装扮得体优雅，又不失流行感。

Faux Fur Style: Day to Night (Part I)

I love pieces that combine interesting yet practical contrasts, like a sweater with crepe ruffle hem or, what featured here, a cardigan with faux fur trim: the fluffy collar adds coziness to the knit without the extra bulk.

Olivia Palermo styled hers with skinny jeans and velvet slipper loafers for a casual yet polished day time look, with a fringe dress and metallic strappy sandals for a glamorous night out look.

Since fur vest, coat or cardigan add volume to our upper body, balance them out with slim fit bottoms, like skinny jeans, pencil skirt or shorts. Extra bonus for injecting a bold punch of color or pattern by way of standout accessories, like the handbag and scarf on Olivia Palermo.

In Chinese: 我总被一些包含了强烈对比元素的单品所吸引，比如这件带刍纱花边的毛衣，还有今天想分享的这件秋冬必备的带皮草领的针织衫。皮草给普通的开衫加了些许奢华感，看起来像穿了两件但是一点也没有厚重感。

Olivia Palermo搭配了休闲的瘦腿裤和丝绒包鞋打造既休闲又有格调的出街造型，晚上外出参加派对时，加在一件庞克风的流苏裙外，再配上金色的高跟鞋，保暖又抢眼。

因为皮草本身有一定的廓形，所以穿皮草马甲、外套或开衫时尽量选择贴身的下装，比如铅笔裙，小短裤或紧身牛仔裤等。利用围巾、手包等配饰引入一些抢眼的颜色或图案，给成熟的皮草增加些年轻活泼的元素。

Continuing our talk about fall pastel trend, Today I want to share with you two more looks that are great for the coming parties and get-togethers.

To balance the pretty and conservative baby blue pieces, Mandy Moore & Chelsea Leyland chose dark colors, tough materials, cool add-ons (love their booties and Leyland’s playful book clutch!). The overall looks are so modest and risky all at once!

Mandy Moore’s look especially amazed me: she is in head-to-toe Topshop, but looks so graceful, comfy and modern. It’s truly a look great for any age. So, for the moms out there, you are never too old to try Topshop!

In Chinese: 继续我们上次对于今年马卡龙色潮流的探讨，今天我想分享两个同样引入了粉蓝色单品的look，很适合参加年末的公司聚餐或和家人朋友的派对。

Mandy Moore 和 Chelsea Leyland为了平衡浅粉色的上衣和外套的甜腻感，加入了很多时尚的元素、硬朗的材质、酷帅或有趣味的配件（好喜欢她们的鞋子和手包！）。我尤其喜欢Mandy Moore （上图左边）的这个造型，既得体又时尚，适合很多场合，什么年纪的人都可以穿。很难相信她身上的单品都来自很平价的Topshop。所以很多妈妈们，逛街时不要错过那些貌似只针对年轻人设计的高街品牌哦，你一定会有意外的收获！
