There was a lot of talk this week with the over 50 bloggers about fashion magazines…do we still look to them for inspiration? I only read a couple…HARPER’S BAZAAR and INSTYLE…to get ideas and see what it happening in the world of fashion. So, in this edition of Harper’s Bazaar, I found an ad for spring fashion. I have numbered the looks in the ad…so tell me, would you wear any of them, all of them, or which ones?? (Sorry the pictures are not better!) Numbers 1-3 are maxi-dresses, and #4 is a pant outfit. This is our weekly dose of Would You Wear It….
By the way, there is a misconception that I only post looks I personally like on Would You Wear It…not so, I try to go for a variety of what the industry is showing us in visuals…I do not tell you what I think, on purpose…I want to know what YOU think!
Enjoy your Saturday!!
And make sure you go HERE to put your name in to win these fabulous earrings!!
Look for Hit Your Style Sweet Spot later as Jennifer and I dress for a baby shower!!
Never say never, but…
I hardly buy the glossy mags any more so full of ads and irrelevant fashion. I prefer to get inspiration from the internet, pinterest and other bloggers. Have a good week-end and thank you for all your nice comments.
Make the one on the right more form fitting, and it could become Minnesota-winter, around-the-house loungewear (a category of clothing I know all too well). Otherwise, hmmm. . .
#1, #2 & #4 look like different types of pajamas but I might give #3 a whirl if I had the right occasion to wear it 🙂
I am a fan of stripes in moderation, but the whole prisoner look doesn't work for me. #3 is glamorous so in the right setting?
If #2 were available in a tunic version, I'd wear in a heartbeat over jeans. No turban, tho. 🙂
The only thing I'm drawn to is #2, but I agree with une femme…only as a tunic. The stripes over stripes is definitely not appealing. lol
#1 I might consider for pool side but rarely need anything for that anymore. I have a pool but am generally hostessing for the kids in shorts and a tee. I am tall so rarely would be able to find a maxi long enough but even so they generally feel too fussy for my style. The stripes in 2 and 4 are too much for me- I like a stripe top but these would feel overdone for my style. And I don't dress in all black anymore so 3 is out although I can't see the picture well.
I think I have always looked at magazines as inspirations I changed to fit me (which has always meant I changed it A LOT).
I would take the photo as inspiration to add some new stripes (which I LOVE) to my wardrobe. I wouldn't wear any of the outfits as is, but as Susan said, if there were a tunic version of #2, I would also gladly wear it!
I think I will pass on all three!
I had already heard that stripes are big again this Spring and apparently graphic prints. That's about my take-away from an ad like this. Does anybody really wear this stuff?
In my 20s my dress was part Indiana Jones, part resort from the pages of Vogue with a little business Armani thrown in. I had great fun with clothes and my lifestyle lent itself to my indulgences. Now my budget is nowhere what it used to be, plus I have nowhere to where them, but if those two things were fixed… Yes! I'd wear a lot of those clothes… Just not so many prints. Too busy for me.
I get my inspiration from other bloggers and magazines. But I always stay close to my own style and not copy exact. I am falling in love with the maxi dress!
No 3 may be but the rest are not for me. X x
Being a short person — I don't see anything here that I would wear. It would all overwhelm me….and not my style anyway.
No I don't think I would wear it. Looks like prison wear.
