ESSENTIALS #1: Leather Pencil Skirt

Hello Dears!

This is the first of a series of posts I'll be doing with specific garments that can kick any wardrobe up a notch ;)  We all have heard about “The Basics”, you know black blazer, white button down shirt, etc, my intention is to bring you "The Essentials" (wonderful items that add ESSENCE! to our closets) things that can take us from Basic Girl to a Fashionable One! :) Sometimes we want to stand out but we are also smart about our budgets and obviously we want to optimize our clothing as much as possible so I am showing you 3 ways that today’s item can serve many purposes, that way you are not buying a “one occasion garment” :) 

The LEATHER PENCIL SKIRT it’s a wonderful alternative that adds edge and personality to an outfit, not to mention that it's so NOW since we've seen the leather trend all over, since last year. There are different options and price ranges and here are a few options if you decide to give this Essential a try ;) :

$ Sears $29 USD
$$ ASOS $86 USD
$$$ Nordstrom $137 USD
$$$$ Net-a-porter $1533 USD

Let me know if you like it and Thank You for stopping by!

EX*PURR*IENCE

One of the current trends are Cats! Cats everywhere! Cats motifs, hats with cats ears, cats related quotes on t-shirts, you name it, we’ve seen it... Not a Cat Person? Still, you can try a Cat-Inspired Look without being too literal and embrace the feline attack!! ;)

Let me know how you like this.

CLASSIC FORWARD

Welcome to my blog, this is a space to share with you my personal style and hopefully to connect with many of you who might share the same taste in fashion and who drool over the same beautiful things I do. I will start by saying: “Hi, I’m Liliana and I'm a Fashion Bipolar” :) reason for the name of this blog and my clothing brand which I will share with you about on my future posts. This term was born when I was studying Fashion Design and on one assignment we had to describe our style in two words, I kid you not, INSTANTLY this two words came out of my mouth and I had to literally hold myself not to scream them at the class ha-ha :D

As a Fashion Designer of course I appreciate all kinds of aesthetics and eras and I definitely have a favorite designer for each of them, but when it comes to MY personal style, MY everyday dressing and of course MY designs there are 2 silhouettes and trends that impact my choices in an undeniable way and they are:
First, the extreme femininity and elegance of the 40’s and the second would be the rebelliousness and originality of Punk...See, I told you I‘m a fashion bipolar...I AM CLASSIC FORWARD. Hope you enjoy exploring this two in my future posts….

Thank You for stopping by!

Liliana.
