What I Wore…

…to a friend’s graduation.  The style plan was feminine yet comfortable (because we all know how graduations can be, right?).  A dress or simple skirt combo was my first thought.  However, when I came across a picture in the Express lookbook (below), I immediately knew I’d found the perfect mix of comfort, femininity, and a hint of menswear to make the look interesting!

I’ve been eyeing several celebs (above) who’ve pulled off the feminine menswear look fabulously!  So, I thought why not give it a try too!  Of course, I threw in some red,  a black hair clip turned lapel flower, and layered some necklaces to liven things up a bit.

Style File:  Blazer ~ Vince Camuto; Blouse ~ Express (Portofino);

Slacks – Gap; Patent pumps ~ Nine West;

Clutch ~ American Apparel; Lapel Flower/Hair Clip ~ H&M;

Necklaces ~ Tiffany & Co. (both); Manicure ~ CND Vinylux ‘Black Pool’

Lip ~ M.A.C. RiRi Woo

 

 

Side note: Never mind what my hair is doing! I haven’t a clue! 

 

 

According to Q, adding feminine touches to traditional suiting can make a stylish statement.

Black and white is a classic combo and red accessories (lips included) add just right touch of sass.

What do you think of feminine menswear? Will you be rocking it?

Yours in Stilettos,
