Midi skirts and wool shorts are great transitional pieces to keep us warm without the winter heaviness. The graceful vibe of a midi and tailored silhouette of the shorts make them versatile pieces that can be worn from desk to dinner. Here, I love the accessories master Olivia Palermo adds edgy or glamour elements to her ensemble via add-ons  like her enviable shoes, cool sunglasses, and ladylike purse.

In Chinese: 优雅的过膝裙和挺括的羊毛短裤很适合现在这样的过渡时节穿,有保暖功能又没有冬装的厚重感,既能通勤又可以穿去约会。街拍女王Olivia Palermo是善用配件的高手,看看她的这两个造型吧:用优雅的酒红色高跟鞋把一身硬朗的皮装穿出了十足女人味,男孩风的铆钉短靴则给俏皮甜美的波希米亚风装扮注入了恰到好处的酷帅。

Crop Tops

Crop top is definitely not a youth trend . Pair it with classic high-waisted pencil skirt in graceful midi length as showed above, moms can rock this trend too. As for colors, understated neutrals like black, dove grey or innocent white balance out the sexiness. Since wearing white head to toe may make us look washed out, glowing skin, a bold lip or edgy accessories can help liven up the whole look.

In Chinese: 正大行其道的露脐装绝不是年轻人的专利,搭配上长伞裙或像上面这两个造型里的过膝铅笔裙,妈妈们也完全可以赶这趟潮流的班车,再加上廓形大衣,这种超短上衣甚至可以穿去办公室。在颜色的选择上,低调的黑白灰可以平衡露脐装的性感,不要忘记小细节的重要:亮橘的唇彩、黑色的甲油、金属点缀的手包等都能给整体造型带来大改变。

Power Dressing: Oversized Coat

How to wear the oversized coat trend,      On Poppy Delevingne at london fashion week (left): Burberry Prorsum Polka Dot Linen Blouse, grey coat, navy pants, green strap sandal,   On Poppy Delevingne (right): DOLCE & GABBANA red coat, blue polka dot blouse, white crochet sweater, distressed jeans, snakeskin pump, red polka dot clutch.Photos: Poppy Delevingne; Courtesy of vogue.frgettyimages.com.

Oversized coat is very nostalgic for me. For some reason, I associate it with wisdom and power, especially when the collar is up, the hem is flying with every step…maybe I watched too much Detective Conan in middle school.

Back to today’s featured outfits, I love how Poppy Delevingne added a fun and feminine flair to her masculine grey coat (above left), and turned down her luxurious, cape-like red coat with white crochet, heavily distressed denim and fun prints.

In Chinese: 不知道为什么,我总是潜意识里把这种长大衣和智慧、权力联系起来,尤其是把领子竖起来,长长的下摆随着步幅摇曳,再加上墨镜和礼帽,气场十足。也许是中学时名侦探柯南看太多了额。。

言归正传,看看Poppy Delevingne怎么搭配这种难驾驭的长大衣吧:第一个颇有硬朗风的灰色箱型大衣,她配上了有趣的波普衬衫和性感凉鞋;第二个有点像大斗篷的奢华的红色外套,她则配上了不羁的破洞仔裤和甜美学院风的镂空白毛衣和小衬衫。配饰上可爱圆点和狂野蛇纹的混搭也是出人意料又令人赞叹。
