Yesterday, I shared two ways to style your LWDs for catching the last wave of summer fun, today I have two more glamorous outfits that are perfect for special occasions. Best of all? When the temperature cools, you can add cardigans, coats or boots, and wear them through the fall. The key to rocking white after Labor Day is the materials and add-ons!

In Chinese: 昨天我分享了两个白裙子的搭配方法，非常适合夏末的休闲活动。今天我想分享另外两个同样来自奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)，但是更优雅、正式些的穿搭。而且因为材质的关系，这两个造型你还可以根据气温的变化，加上罩衫、大衣或靴子，一直穿到秋冬。白色在秋冬还会继续流行哦～

I came across this stunning selfie of Kendall Jenner on her Instagram, and can’t help sharing it with you. For a formal lunch or dinner, we usually think of dresses, but dramatic wide-leg pants or jumpsuits are unexpected and fresh. For accessories, the quintessential stiletto, minimalist jewelry and tousled hair are the way to go.

In Chinese: 在肯达尔·詹娜(Kendall Jenner)的Instagram照片中看到这个造型后，就很想和你分享。一般在参加正式的午餐或晚宴时，我们都会选择小洋装或长裙，其实很有气场的阔腿裤或连身裤是个与众不同、新颖又不失女人味的好选择。配上高跟鞋拉长身形，极简的配饰和随性的发型更有现代感。

2. ASOS crop top (or this long-sleeve version)
3. Lavett & Chin hair mist (my go-to for texturizing & volumizing!)
4. Manolo Blahnik jeweled pump (similar here & here)

My favorite wide-leg pants & jumpsuits:

Can’t help sharing another graceful and cheerful look of Kate Middleton during her stay in Australia (see more looks here). Maybe because the effortless style is ubiquitous and has been taken quite literally by many, this neat, pulled-together, made-an-effort look catches my eyes more. The style-driven Princess does have her own subtle mixing and matching way though, which is exemplified with her covetable oversized masculine watch that is glued to her wrist.

In Chinese: 忍不住再分享一个王妃出访澳大利亚的造型（上次分享的两个在这里）。也许因为看多了时尚圈推崇的看似不加修饰的、凌乱的、不完美的混搭美，而且这种风格被越来越多的人滥用，真的就不加修饰地、不加思考地穿搭，所以我现在反而更容易被王妃这种精致、优雅、用了功夫、花了时间达成的美所吸引。她也有符合她风格的低调的“混搭”，比如她手上常带的这支硬朗的男士风格的手表。
