Tips for adhering to a dress code and still be absolutely fashion forward? Playing with accessories! As showed above, it’s that splash of bright elevated these outfits. The small clutch and enviable colorblock pumps on Mandy Moore can help you transform from desk to dinner with ease while the roomy orange/red bag looks as good with a T shirt and slouchy jeans for weekends as it is with a blazer and pencil skirt for the office.

In Chinese: 既要遵守办公室的着装要求，又想展现好品味或者给无聊的制服增加些趣味？那就多花些心思在配件上吧！拼色的、有设计感或有趣的小配饰对整体造型的提升会超出你的想象。比如上面这两个造型，去掉这几个红色、橘色的装点就很平乏了。曼迪·摩尔(Mandy Moore)的这个小手包和让人过目不忘的别致包鞋可以让你从办公室到晚上的约会转换得轻松自如。辣妈杰西卡·奥尔芭(Jessica Alba)的这个好看又实用的双色手包在周末时搭配T恤、牛仔裤也一样出彩！

I consider colored jeans as wardrobe essentials. If you haven’t tried yet, classic red and cobalt blue are great options to star your collection. Here, Kate Moss & Alessandra Ambrosio showed us two ways to style a pair of red skinny jeans. One I call it ‘casual weekend look’ is demonstrated by Ambrosio (above right). Another I call ‘the bold look’ is from fashion icon Kate Moss (above right). Her luxurious pajama top, wild fringed western style bag and sleek, timeless Greek sandals blend harmoniously thanks to the clean color palette and sleek, modern silhouette.

In Chinese: 彩色的窄腿裤是时尚衣橱的必备单品。如果你还没有尝试，正红色和宝蓝色是两个最容易上手也最好搭的颜色。超模凯特·摩丝(Kate Moss)和亚历山大·安布罗休(Alessandra Ambrosio)展示了两种不同风格的搭配：后者是大家都熟悉也都可以驾驭的都市休闲风。关于前者… 这种高段位的混搭不知道怎么形容，只能把它称为“王牌搭配”了：时尚偶像凯特·摩丝把持续流行的睡衣潮流和本季正火的西部风以及经典的希腊绑带鞋混搭起来，整体造型前卫、利落，别有风味。这个混搭看起来很和谐的关键在于线条的选择和颜色的组合都很简单。

On my trip to Miami, this look was my outfit inspiration: A white leather jacket is such a fresh and unexpected alternative to the denim or black leather version we would normally choose. It also helped me a lot when shopping in freezing cold Bal Harbour Shops while looking cool and summer friendly. By combining the relaxed Tee with shorts and teaming the distressed jeans with silk cami and heels, these pieces worn on airport are still on duty during my stay which greatly saved my suitcase space.

In Chinese: 我前几天在迈阿密的度假就是借鉴了超模亚历山大·安布罗休(Alessandra Ambrosio)的这个造型。比起我们通常在机场会见的黑色皮衣或牛仔外套，白色的机车皮衣保暖的同时不失夏天的清爽，而且在当地超级冷的Bal Harbour shops血拼时也派上了大用场。随性的T恤和破洞牛仔裤的舒适搭配最适合旅行。到了目的地还可以继续穿搭: T恤侧边挽个结，就是酷酷的沙滩遮盖衣，配上牛仔短裤就可以去海洋馆或Art Deco逛。破洞牛仔裤搭配上丝质的吊带小衫和高跟鞋，晚上去酒吧也很适合，大大减少了我需要带的衣服的数量，节省了行李空间。
