Blue and muted green-blue color are huge color trend this year. Here, Miranda Kerr combined two different shades of blue and spiced them up with wild leopard print. I love how the youthful innocent denim ruffle was juxtaposed against sexy thigh-highs and semi-sheer blouse.

In Chinese: 蓝色是2014的主打色，各种色调的蓝让这个普通得几乎被我们遗忘的颜色变得前所未有的丰富。今天所选的这个造型里，超模米兰达·可儿（Miranda Kerr）就把深浅两种不同的蓝色组合起来，用豹纹给整身造型增加亮点和趣味。这条靛蓝的荷叶边牛仔裙融合了本季的多个流行元素，是值得投资的大热单品。荷叶边和牛仔特有的年轻无邪和性感的大腿靴、豹纹冲突也很吸引人。

This is a woman who has her distinctive style that amazed the world, a woman who knows what she wants and suits her best. These two outfits are the epitome of that: They are very ‘Kate’ with the nipped-in waist and elegant knee length; They are perfect for the occasions and very comfy to wear; More over, the color shows her respect to the hosts (yellow is one of Australian’s colors).

Tips learned: your personal style, body type, and targeted occasion should always been kept in mind when dressing in the morning, right?

In Chinese: 深受大家喜爱的凯特王妃具有独特的个人魅力和标志性的穿衣风格，她知道自己适合什么并坚持自己的风格。今天的这两个她出访澳大利亚的造型就是典型的凯特风：收腰及膝裙配上她最爱的平价包鞋，不仅亮眼、舒适，而且颜色的选择也体现了对东道主的尊重（黄色是澳大利亚的颜色之一）。毕竟，我们每天穿衣的目的都是想要让服装要和自己的风格、体型、肤色匹配，和当天的活动契合，不是吗？

How to Wear Overalls, Olivia Palermo, street syle 2014 Photos: Olivia Palermo; Courtesy of pacificcoastnews.com.

I have been hunting high and low for a great pair of denim overalls. I want one that stays true to its utilitarian root while complements my personal style. This pair on Olivia Palermo fits the bill perfectly: I love the inky wash and tailored silhouette, also greatly appreciate that it still has all the elements of a classic denim overalls: buckled strips, loops, and a patch pocket details the bib. Pair it with feminine, sophisticated pieces for a grown-up, urban chic vibe.

In Chinese: 一直很想收一条大热的牛仔背带裤，找了很久都没有满意的，不是颜色不理想就是版型太松垮。直到看到奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的这条：黑色水洗加上修身的裤型，让原本过于休闲和孩子气的背带裤多了份都市感，同时又完整地保留了这种工装裤应有的元素，比如金属的搭扣、可调的背带、腰带圈和前兜上的口袋车线等。配上女人味的单品和配饰，休闲又优雅。
