It is probably obvious by these looks (and the ones in the collections below) that I'm really hankering for 1. a nice tuxedo-inspired jacket; 2. a clean, minimalist coat. I am still kicking myself over the fact that I didn't buy a wool coat in a slate grey that hit all the clean, minimalist points I was going for at Uniqlo. WHY DIDN'T I???? Anyway, these ones are nice.
This collection is nothing new--none of Alan's stuff is especially groundbreaking--but it doesn't make it any less covetable. And sometimes, isn't that really what you just want in life? Lots of secretary/private-school inspired stuff with socks and loafers, jumpers, and cute jackets. Just everything I love for the every day in the Fall.
Sheer dresses in dark florals and tuxedo short-suits: it's everything twee and great but heightened in a formal setting.
I could probably learn a thing or two from layering here but at the same time it looks like there's just TOO MUCH happening. The all-over floral look (seen in other collections like Jason Wu) is what cinched (PUN INTENDED) the deal for me here.
Keywords: floral, all-over floral, flower print. Now that we got that out of the way, can we talk about the expert mixing of patterns and my love for sweaters over dresses in this collection? I usually do a cropped sweater over a dress but this is like, a formal gown almost. Oh man, if only I could pull that off.
