My Inspiration

18 September 2008 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

So this Tod’s ad is a bit old, but is, nonetheless, classicly timeless. I love the Tod’s girl of a few years back; they’re young, European, classy, and chic – all done in such a casual and minimalistic way that contrasts with the more hard core fashionistas (I love Gossip Girl and love every outfit, but honestly, half the pieces aired on tv will either only look good on the girls themselves or are simply not wearable.). I love the natural hair paired with such timeless pieces. The colors are incredible as well; the brown jacket is structured and perfect for fall, a clean, basic tee, and skinny pants dressed up with a pair of leather flats is so unbelievably simplistic when broken down! Yet, it still looks so fabulous. And the bag? Love the rich blue. Such an ensemble for any time of day in the fall is beautiful and though it is from a while back, it fits into fall 2008’s trends seamlessly. After all, history repeats itself, as does fashion.

xoxo.

    I agrees …. This look is perfection and I believe that classic is never out of style, that’s why I tend not to pay too much attention to trends 🙂

    Even though I love following the trends, my off days are just the classics. That jacket is perfect.
