While browsing the latest looks on GUCCI's website, I was pleasantly suprised to find some outfits that are really very pretty and feminine. In a sea of designer sites featuring immodest and downright ugly clothing, it was a breath of fresh air to see some looks that could translate well into the life of a real person, with a little bit of modification. I was planning on doing some posts on summer bridal and swimwear designs, but since fashion has already turned Fall-ward (and I try to be up-to-date), it made more sense to show you some nice Autumn-y looks before you do your back-to-school shopping! :)
Top Picks from GUCCI's Fall/Winter Ready to Wear Collection
Design #1 looks exactly like something my sister Lydia would love. Lots of brown, with a groovy biker jacket and some high heeled boots. Very trendy, and I am gone on the yummy cloché.
Design #2 obviously needs the neckline raised, but is really a nice suit overall. I love pencil skirts and the navy jacket is just sweet. Also, the pumps sport a very unique heel.
Design #3 is another great classic look and perfect for "day to evening" transformations. If you have a warm skin tone like me (I am a "Spring"), you can't go wrong with brown.
Design #4 is a bit more modern, with it's rich bold shade of plum and gold buckles on the side. This flattering style is capped off with traditional pumps.
Top Picks from GUCCI's Fall/Winter Runway Collection
Design #1 showcases an absolutely amazing coat (I want one! ;), a classic black turtleneck and some neat accessories, like the belts and necklace. But leave off the funky boots please. TERRIBLE.
Design #2 is another lovely navy creation. This dress is ultra trendy and totally classic at the same time. Just sweet. The only thing I'd change are those clunky cords hanging down the front.
Design #3 features are very artsy and unique fabric that works just marvelously with the droopy sash and chain belt. Not crazy about the shoes, but all around a very confident look.
Design #4 can't get any prettier, or more classy! The crew neck is adorable and the three-quarter style is very flattering. I love the bracelets and the handbag!
Let me add a note that I think ALL of these designs would benefit from a good six inches or so at the hem. Not only is it more modest, but it is much more flattering. (Remember me? The one who thinks knee caps look like potatoes? Ahh, yes! ;)
DISCLAIMER: Don't get me wrong, I am not promoting GUCCI or recommending you regularly browse their site. On the contrary. Most fashion sites contain immodest and sensual content, and while the links I have provided to these collections are clean, I am not responsible for what the rest of the site may contain. Picking the gold from the dross of the fashion world and sharing them with others is one of my favorite pastimes, and it is my hope that this blog will become a place where we can enjoy them together. You get all the benefits of having a personal shopper to do the weeding for you! ;)
God bless your week!
