A beautiful, beautiful thing. My style is quite plain. Predictable, even\u2014so any opportunity to elicit a double take is welcomed.\u00a0Everything with me is two-sided: for every boatneck sweater there&#8217;s a studded d&#8217;orsay pump, and every silk blouse has a cropped tee counterpart. I love a little vulgarity in dress so long as it&#8217;s offset by something prim;\u00a0balance is, after all, everything. A thigh-high boot (or over-the-knee, for the pearl-clutchers) becomes that something. That\u00a0je ne sais quoi of the French, the thing that&#8217;s\u00a0just slightly off in the best way possible.
