One of my gentlemen readers pointed out that the people he thought were the most stylish and most admired generally moved to their own beat. I agree....kinda! I believe moving to your 'own beat' is right as long as it's in time with the music.
Anyway, I digress.... I believe what gives us a little individualism is taking an ordinary piece and adding our personality and signature to it. For example, I want the Manoush sweater (available at Outnet.com) pictured. For me, the long cuff sleeves, round patch pockets, and leather buttons make this a winner. Some would look at this $145 sweater and say it's ugly and, on the right person, I'd agree! But pair it with a sleeveless ruffle-front tee (we still need to get some use out of our summer stuff) and some skinny cream pants and cognac peep-toe heels -- you're in business for an evening out with the ladies! Or pair it with a scoop-neck print tee and some trouser jeans along with your Campers sneakers and Saturday errands become a mini-catwalk!
So what would you pair it with to stamp your style signature?!.
