SD's WCWs get inspired BY Fashion Week 2016

October 10, 2016 by Tuyen Aarestad in Fashion

Once again we've been MIA from the blogging world and hopefully grabbed your attention with our impromptu shower photo shoot.  I swear we want to be bloggers and we love our WCW followers and will be back with more consistent posts once we can just get our damn shit together.  Anyhoo back to the topic at hand.... Fashion Week!!!  Fashion Week has been making its tour around the world from NY to Milan to Paris and the FOMO is real. From the runway to the streets there were just TOO many coveted outfits we needed to be wearing right now.... as in NOW as I sit at home in my sweats typing this.  One day we will take this blog to great heights and get whisked away to attend any/all these Fashion Weeks, but until then here are some looks we loved, own, and wanted to copy.....

Gigi Hadid does TommyxGigi

This bitch designs fashion too?!?!?! Miss hot as F*&#k Hadid did a collaboration with the Americana designer that has all the celebs and fashion bloggers peeing their pants in excitement.  That means you Taylor Swift (her enthusiasm at the show was annoying and a bit heavy handed).  Never thought Tommy would be making a come back in to my wardrobe circa 1999, but looks like if Gigi can do it so can we.

Shawling aka 'off-the-shoulder' is everywhere right now and was bearing its shoulders among the street style elite.  Revealing necks and shoulders are the right amount of sexy without being trashy so hopefully you've outgrown receiving hickies and can rock the hype.  Also this look can make the shortest of necks appear Nefertiti-like elongated (that means you Eva Longoria!).  It's making a huge appearance in my closet and I'm hoping to keep this trend rolling into the fall.

We couldn't be happier for the return of this early 90's trend.  The street-stylish are rocking this look in so many versatile ways.  With booties? Sure. How about heels? Hell yes. Tennies? Of course. My Birkenstocks? Why not? Hello Drew Barrymore circa "Mad Love," your wardrobe called and I'm all in.

Maybe it's cuz I'm a mom too, or that I just want her husband, her life, and her post-baby bounce-back genes. Chrissy Teigen appeared at NYFW prancing around in all kinds of drool-worthy threads. I particularly loved this contrasting look of sweet and sexy where the feminine flouncy blouse pairs with the structured high wasted shorts and a fierce pair of sexy strappy stilettos.
