What would Parisienne wear on Saturday mornings for dog walking or coffee run? Probably this one of Olivia Palermo, truly effortless chic, and great for year-round, no matter the age.

In Chinese: 想想巴黎女子会在悠闲的周六早上遛狗或买咖啡时穿什么？可能就是奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的这个造型吧，精良简约的基本款，舒适随性又优雅，而且不分年纪，也四季皆宜。

The blazer/jacket section is a ever-growing part in my wardrobe. I’m a firm believer that a great blazer is investment-worthy, and it can instantly make an outfit look sharp and polished. Here, Rihanna balanced her boxy pinstripe version with distressed denim cutoffs and feminized the look with sexy heels and bold red lips.

In Chinese: 我投资最多，平时也最喜欢买的大概就是西装外套了。多年积累下来，我的衣橱里已经有各种材质、颜色和图案的西装外套了。它们四季皆宜，好搭实穿，可以瞬间让即使最普通邋遢的造型利落有型。比如今天所选的这个造型里，蕾哈娜（Rihanna）用极短的破洞牛仔裤平衡她略带箱型剪裁的外套，性感的系带高跟鞋和红唇注入了女人味。

Not Your Basic Maxi Dress

There are a millions ways to accessorize a black maxi dress, I especially appreciate the subdued beauty of pairing black with other neutrals, like showed above: Vanessa Hudgens highlighted her sexy yet demure maxi with all black accessories while Jamie Chung opted for a sophisticated black/nude palette.

A black maxi dress is no doubt a wardrobe essential that can be worn year-round (remember these outfits of Miranda Kerr?). If you already have the basic version, invest in one with eye-catching details like asymmetrical hem, sexy cut out, daring open back, or double slits.

In Chinese: 一条简单的黑色长裙可以有数不清的穿搭方法。可能很多人倾向于加些颜色或印花图案作为亮点，我却偏爱把小黑裙本身作为重点，用其它中性色或黑色本身去装饰，那种优雅、带着点克制哲学的低调美别有韵味，比如今天看到的这两个造型。

黑色长裙是一年四季都可以穿的衣橱必备 (还记得米兰达·可儿的这四个搭配吗？），如果你已经有了基本款，投资一条有流行元素的，比如前短后长的不对称剪裁或性感的小镂空、双开叉等等。
