10th Commandment: February 1

Feb 1, 2011

A few weeks ago, I read somewhere that drape skirts are out.  I vehemently disagree.  A woman can only wear a pencil or an A-line so many times before she needs a change of pace.  This Helmut Lang skirt is the perfect addition to any wardrobe as it can be work to work or out on the town.

Twisted Stretch Skirt (Net-a-Porter, $195)

What I like most about this skirt is that the drapes aren’t directly atop the hips.  Moving them a bit lower is much better for those of us who are pear-shaped.

    I have a similar skirt, and I love the way it looks on me, but I'm having a hard time styling it. What would you pair with it?

    It's funny you should ask. Check back this afternoon at 1pm.

    I have a similar problem. I can't figure out what type of top to wear with my draped skirt. Whatever I try is either too structured or too flowy. Help! 🙂

The Find: My Best Workout Shorts

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
