CHEESY MOMENT ALERT. When I saw this, I had to take a moment to catch my breath. It’s very old lady, but I still love it with all my heart. I’m giving myself one week to decide if I’m crazy or sane. I think it would look great with thick wool sweaters. Or maybe I’m just overwhelmed with all the spring collections and greatly overlooking what’s currently out. What do you think?
Check out the rest of the Ann Demeulemeester shipment at Komakino.
Who needs another scarf when a new hybrid is available? These two pieces would look great paired with a coat, jacket, or cardigan. Extra points for how you play off their color. To contrast or compliment? That is the question.

What: The playfulness of a kid in oversized pieces + the sophistication of a working adult. DO buy oversized sweaters, vests, button downs, waistcoats, etc. DON’T size up on your pants/trousers.
With: Keep the pants slim and the tops oversized. Play around with layers of clothing that do not usually go together (ie: button down over sweater, sweater vest over blazer). Stick with clean traditional shoes. Your look is already busy enough with the play of the proportions.
What: Deep hues of red, burgundy, and purple found in everything from pants to sweaters.
With: Try pairing these pieces with clothes of complimentary colors like gray, brown, burnt orange, and olive green. For an extra punch, try layering different shades of the same base color.
My philosophy towards accessories is quite simple. Unless the piece is constructed well and a unique piece from a respected designer that I am not likely to see again; like the above pieces, I am not willing to spend a great amount of money. I view most accessories as throw away pieces. I’ll spend a lot on a coat, because it is an item I plan on keeping for years; accessories not so much. For most of my accessories, I buy them at cheap prices at places like H&M and Topman. I leave the bulk of my spending for actual clothes. After the cut, you will find the type of accessories I buy.
