DRESS TO CONFIDENCE: BUT REALLY

When discussing a certain past event, that is the Punk: Chaos to Couture themed gala hosted at the met this past Monday, the inevitable "best/worst dressed" conversation took a different turn when a friend claimed "SJP was so unattractive, no man would ever like that". I felt responsible to contradict such foolish statement if not because that, in fact, happened to be my favorite outfit of the night, but because I was outraged by the idea of her judging outfits by their level of man attracting. Has Man Repeller taught you nothing? Have I (a friend of 3 years) taught you nothing?

I feel as if it's my duty to remind you, ladies, to dress for your own special self only. When dressing think not of the points you score from opposite sex (or same, do your thing) but of the way you feel walking around in that clothes. Does it make you feel like yourself? Does yourself want to experiment and feel like a different self through different clothes? And most importantly, do you feel confident in such clothes? Because remember, the best thing a woman can wear is her confidence.

FENDI, FENDI, PRADA

Here's a little story about my day. I woke up, checked Instagram (oh, is this really not the first thing you do in the am?), brushed my teeth, made some coffee, put on my jeans, looked down at my feet and thought to myself "Man, I wish I had a pair of Fendis to put on". The idea behind my thought process was that if I had a shoe so structural, color-blocked, spiked yet cool I could just throw a white button down and go on with my day. Doesn't that just sound right?

CHAOS TO COUTURE

NOTE:

At times it's hard to draw the line between SJC vs CB, especially when she shows up dress in this. It's sort of like the BIG wedding all over again only the dress white dress developed gold stains over time and the bird on her head grew out a mohawk. 

NOTE:

NOTE:
Olsen sisters are just the type of people who know how to do couture. Ball or no ball.

NOTE:
Do you agree or what?

NOTE:

LSD in D&G. Salute the choker. 

NOTE:
Giovanna Battaglia had a ball of her own dressing for this ball. Anglomania done right. 

NOTE:

Linda Evangelista as the modern day Rapunsel.
