My Version Of Sweats
OOTD 11*10*2015
Occasion: Nada, zip, nothing
Style: Step up from sweats
Inspired by quote from Karl Lagerfeld "Sweats are what one puts on when they have given up"
Style Tip: This is about complimentary shapes by pairing the swing sweatshirt with a pixie pant I actually create the illusion of being thinner. Mixing shapes and materials with it's opposite you can create a great look that is interesting and unique ie: chunky knit with silk, feminine florals with edgier pieces, feminine with masculine.
