red shoes – Helen's Life & Style

Skinny jeans used to be my grab-and-go piece. After being a mom, I found myself constantly gravitate towards boyfriend jeans: They are comfortable for me to move around or play with babies; The loose fit can hide those extra pounds I gained during pregnancy; The relaxed vibe can tone down any dressy top I’m having on: from structured blazers to silk blouses.

The key to wear boyfriend or distressed denim without looking sloppy is adding feminine touches, like the trendy, sexy leopard loafer and signature red lips on Miranda Kerr, or the glamorous red accents and statement jewelry on Reese Witherspoon.

我以前都只穿紧腿九分裤，当了妈妈后却偏爱起了男友风牛仔裤：宽松的设计便于我来回活动或陪小孩玩，不那么紧身也可以藏些怀孕时屯起来的肉肉，而且搭配起正式的西装外套、丝质上衣或针织衫时也显得更轻松自然，不刻意。

这种裤型唯一的缺点是容易看起来邋遢或显腿粗，所以我常会把裤管随意往上挽几圈，露出脚踝，搭配上抢眼的鞋款，并加入其它女性化的元素，比如上图中所看到的Miranda Kerr的经典红唇和大热的豹纹复古包头鞋以及Reese Witherspoon性感的红色麂皮尖头鞋，红色的窄腰带以及长吊坠项链。

3.1 Phillip Lim for Target is my favorite target collaboration so far. The pieces are classic & contemporary, yet with a bold, edgy or fun twist, perfectly meet a modern woman’s need. Today’s featured looks above are great example of how versatile Phillip Lim’s designs is.

Tuxedos are must have for a modern working woman, not only because they can take you from office to cocktail party (a quick change can be as simple as taking off the button-down shirt you wear for the office and button up the jacket to show a hint of cleavage), but also because the separates can be mixed with many other pieces in your closet, be it a fun, whimsical sweatshirt or a bold flirty animal print mini skirt, a futuristic clear stiletto or a studded clutch, let the unexpected juxtaposition show off your taste and unknown side.

3.1 Phillip Lim和Target合作的这个系列是我今年最喜欢的。一如Phillip Lim一贯的设计风格，这些单品经典中有现代感，又不乏有趣或大胆的色彩和细节，完美契合了现代女性工作、娱乐和社交的需求，价格更是亲民。我最喜欢的一点是，他所设计的单品可以随意混搭，从而最大化使用率。

拿这套藏蓝色的西服套装为例，整套搭配起来既可以穿去办公室又可以参加派对：只需要脱掉你穿去办公室的白衬衫，把西装外套当作上衣来穿，酷帅中带点性感的装扮能让你在一片俗套的抹胸裙中脱颖而出。

把外套和裤装分开来，搭配你衣橱中已有的单品，变化就更多了。无论是搭配一件趣味十足的涂鸦T恤、狂野的动物纹短裙还是未来感十足的透明塑胶或金属配饰，发挥创意展现你的时尚品味和不为人知的另一面吧。
