Dotty

Head-to-toe polka-dots are such a fashion fail that they somehow become a fashion victory of Olympian proportions. I'm obsessed with this polka-dotted Play Commes des Garcons cardigan. You can wear it with a simple jean and t-shirt or pair it with all the things dotty, as seen. And sure, this outfit might be more suited for a Tim Burton heroine (oh, hay Helena Bonham!) but what's stopping you from having fun and letting your freak flag fly? Be bold and rock the dot.

THE LOOK FOR LESS

Timeless with a Twist

by Matthew T. Murray in CASUAL, WORK

On Monday, I found a sartorial solution for combatting the winter chill and looking cuter than a button doing it. And even though I fervently suggested thigh-high boots to shield your legs from frostbite, once I spotted these sequin Pilgrim shoes from Miu Miu, I must amend my previous assertions. Forget da boots! Risk the frostbite and wear these!

This Miu Miu outfit is giving me life. The Miu Miu cashmere cardigan is the softest shade of dove grey and the jeweled buttons give it that extra sprinkle of fairy dust. Paired with this box-pleated Miu Miu striped skirt and an eye-catching, elegant Edie Parker clutch, this outfit could be rocked by a trendy twenty-something or a sixty-something suburban housewife. It's timeless... with a twist!

Delpozo For The Win

by Matthew T. Murray in CASUAL, DAYTIME DRESSING

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6th

Every week, I'm smitten with a new designer to a near-addictive extent where the temptation to buy everything is alarmingly high. Last week, it was Gucci - who can say no to fantastical yet wearable rainbow stripes? The week before, I was feelin' Fendi.

But then, luckily, I remember I am male. And this is one of the times I am thankful to be a male. If I were a fashion gurl, I would likely have biweekly mental breakdowns over not being able to afford can't-live-without Stella McCartney silver oxfords (pictured) or scene-stealing Miu Miu printed dresses.

It's easier for me to fantasize and suggest to you a $600 Delpozo sweater for the mere factoid that I will never have to live with and resist the temptation to own sweater (unless I opt for gender re-assignment - in that case, I'll have Chanel and Delpozo up the wazoo, please).

So in conclusion, I'mma show you this expensive ass sweater with the perfect Stella wedges but from now on for my outfit posts, I will also show how you can get the look for less since I want The Outfix to be a space everyone can enjoy without fretting finances. Because fashion should always be fun.

THE LOOK

Delpozo sweater. MiH jeans. Lulu Guiness bag. Stella McCartney wedges.

THE LOOK FOR LESS

Joe Fresh sweater. Mango jeans. Skinnydip clutch. Jeffrey Campbell wedges.
