Good morning, Friday. There's Ebola in my town and peeps be freakin'. I'm not hitting the panic button just yet, cause I'm more concern about the ax wielding maniac that came at two cops yesterday. Oy. This world. Best to just talk about fashion. It's less panic inducing. Can't we all just get along?
So I know I'm obsessed with this jumpsuit thing- you know I love 'em but I'm paranoid about the full frontal bathroom experience that occurs and there's no way to avoid that. But I was a few moments early for dinner with an old friend last night when I decided to pop into Calypso and see what was happening in there. Since Christiane Celle left the brand she started, I've been pretty much boycotting Calypso, because their looks of the last few years have not been nearly as cool and chic as they were under her. But times may be changin' because there were some great looking (albeit spendy) pieces in there for girls who like things a little more Ibiza chic.
So there's this gorgeous faux wrap blouse that comes in cream and black (my two favorite colors). It's a great top, is super flattering and classic and silky and sexy. I love love love this top to wear under a blazer and some trousers, or with jeans and a faux fur vest. It's so pretty.
But then, then- there was a matching pant situation in black silk that were harem and comfy and super delicious. Put the two together and you've got the glam of a jumpsuit but with a top you don't have to wriggle out of after too many margaritas. I love the look of these two pieces together- and you could even do the creme top with the black bottom and throw on a belt and a blazer and you've got a well put together jam happening. And to me, I like jumpsuits that skew a bit more Studio 54 than auto mechanic, so if you're into what I'm throwing down here, go. Go to Calypso now. This could be your look for evening all fall long, and great for holiday parties too with some metallic shoes and gobs of gold jewelry. Here's a link to the top and here's a link to the bottom. So good. Pants run pretty big ps, top fairly true to size but if you're small on top size down. That's all I've got for ya today. Oh, and for those of you who want the old school one piece silk vibe, they are also doing this fab jumpsuit. Love. Wear at your own risk, and drink responsibly.
Cause that's what's up this perfect duo of a Friday in the 718. Yours, in two for one specials.
