Dire Fashion: Diane von Furstenberg

DVF

Alright, now that the designers of the world are finally starting to come out of their natural, minimalistic phase, we're going to continue to see great pieces that you can dress up or down. The Metallic Crocodile Embossed Print jacket from Diane Von Furstenburg is what we've been waiting for. If you're going to pull off a piece like this, I would recommend a fun, chunky cocktail right, and maybe some thin metal bangles. With these few couple of things, it will draw attention to your arms and hands, making your arm looking longer than it really is.

I feel like this piece just screams," PANTS," to me. Or a small, neutral colored skirt with leggings to match (I would say black.) Keep your heels high, your make natural looking (put down the bronzer RIGHT now...you know who you are, and make sure your hair is either framing your face, or up all together.

If you're even unsure of anything, always ask your friends for a first opinion. If you don't like, get a second opinion from yourself.

I've always been a huge fan with mixing high-end pieces with cheaper ones, and coats and jackets should never be in the 'cheaper' category. A jacket is an investment piece, and should be chosen carefully. Pick something that you will wear season after season; a piece that's fashion forward, but nothing trendy (I once yelled at a girl for calling me trendy on the street -oops!- but really.)

From classic, to absolutely chic, to just simply cool, there's something here for everyone. And if you can't get the look from Saks Fifth Avenue, use these designs to stay inspired when you're out in the shops! Go get 'em.
