ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Back to Front
Whenever I’m tired I get very creative with my outfits. Today, I wanted to wear my printed DVF top. But the back is way too low for the office (it drops down with beautiful chiffon draping). So I pulled an Angelina Jolie at SAGs and tried wearing it backwards. I liked the way the scarf mimicked the draping in front and I bet if I hadn’t revealed my trick, you would never have know that the back was actually the front.

For a sleek, sophisticated look, try a monochromatic outfit. As long as you mix fabrics and textures, it’s not the least bit boring. Recently, celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon and Dita von Teese have been stepping out in various shades of gray. Above, I’ve created an outfit that you can wear from day into night.
My favorite part of this look is the jacket. The belted waist balances out the voluminous sleeves. Chunky heels, statement necklaces, ruffles and snakeskin are all trendy for spring; the rose tint on the sunglasses add a subtle touch of color; and you can never go wrong with a neutral pair of gray jeans.
