Fashion Immitating Life

A friend of mine forwarded me this quote from Coco Chanel about fashion and style. It epitomizes the breadth of fashion -- how it can transcend past fabric draped on our bodies to a metaphor of life. The following looks are reflections of images that we see everyday -- from the sky to the street to bold statements -- and represent how fashion can transform how we think.

The Sky


Loose and light like the sky with a bit of rigidness reaching for the soft clouds.


The Street


Vibrant colors mixing around varied layers and textures with a sense of whimsy and adventure.

Donegal tweed ecole jacket, $198; watercolor floral roset tank, $98; distressed vintage slim jeans, $135 (all JCrew).

Bold Statements


Out-of-the-ordinary, intense statements that leave a lasting impression.

Extreme cut-out sandal, Dior, $780

I like this kind of talk.

I love fashion but can't always afford the latest high-priced designer looks, so I've found ways to copy them by finding comparable outfits at bargain prices. Bargain Chic is my attempt at showing other fashion lovers on a budget how to look sophisticated and stylish for a lot less.
