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。

I love seeing style savvy recycle clothes, especially affordable, versatile staples. It truly inspire us to maximize our wardrobe and be creative. Olivia Palermo is definitely a connoisseur: she is often spotted in a casual chic outfit for morning coffee run, later transforms the ensemble into a polished, pulled-together look simply by changing accessories or adding one or two key items.

Today’s two featured outfits above are perfect example: The right-on-trend camo loafer and mirrored sunglasses give chambray shirt and distressed jeans a fashionable, cool girl off-duty vibe, while a white tuxedo blazer, lux structured leather bag and colorblock strappy heels instantly glamorizing the same combo.

时尚偶像或街拍达人们利用同一个单品搭配出适合多种场合的造型最能给我们灵感去创造性地利用我们已有的东西，最大化我们的衣橱了。Olivia Palermo无疑是这方面的高手，我们经常能看到她在早上休闲舒适地喝咖啡或遛狗，随后仅仅改变下配饰或添加一两个关键的单品就可以参加时尚派对了。

今天的两个造型就是很好的例子，单宁衬衫和破洞的窄管牛仔裤是我们人人都有的单品，加上时下大热的眩光太阳镜和复古平底鞋，适合逛街，购物或周末和朋友的聚会；换上双色拼接高跟鞋，再加上修身的西服外套和皮革包，同样的组合就瞬间变得更正式优雅了。

Like a crisp white button down, chambray shirt is definitely a wardrobe essential that is timeless, ageless and seasonless. Today, I picked two summer looks incorporated this iconic piece, hope they can give you more ideas to style yours.

Refined glamour with a touch of urban chic is Olivia Palermo’s signature. Here, she offsets a girly flirty white pleated skirt with a light washed chambray. Leopard print flats add details and fun to the look while maintaining the laid-back chic vibe.

Alessandra Ambrosio is known for her classic American casual off-duty looks with an urban bohemian touch. Here, a loose fitted shirt, shorts and strappy sandal combo might be too tomboyish, but she balanced out with details: colored striped hot shorts show off her sexy legs, stacked arm candy and flowy hair add girly elements.

Which is your favorite: Olivia Palermo’s refined girly look or Alessandra Ambrosio’s laid back casual look?
