Designer Inspired Look: Nina Ricci

Aside from the bony, angry-looking modelÂ…I love this Nina Ricci Resort 2009 look.

This look is achievable in every which way, the floral chemise will probably be the easiest to find, and I love the matching shoes and skinny belt in burnt orange. My work and I will soon be migrating to a swanky new office in a bourgeois part of town, and IÂ’ve been struggling with the question: whatÂ’s appropriate to wear?

My wardrobe has undergone so many drastic changes in the past few years, but Â“office wearÂ” was never of importance to me; this is because it can be challenging (for me at least) finding professional work clothes that arenÂ’t drab and predictable.

This look my friends is exactly what IÂ’ve been imagining, something simple yet feminine, stylish but not overdone.

I love the juicy belt and pants….will you need a jacket for work? and those shoes don’t really seem “office appropriate”…but they’re nice

I would agree that a jacket should be worn over this type of blouse for work. But the look is very chic without being too predicatable.

I have to say I like the clothes, but not on this model. This model is already too thin, and this style accentuates this. When I say thin, I don’t mean with feminine curves, but thin like a toothpick. I hate to use the word anorexic, but this is exactly what this looks like.
Perhaps on a more shapely woman, the clothes would look better. You need to buy clothes and styles, not for the designer name on the tag, but clothes that suit your figure.

I absolutely love the Nina Ricci look! And I love the bargain find Juicy Couture bracelet! I’m such a creature of habit and always wear these amazing pearl studs I got for my birthday last year from Premium Pearl, so I’m always on the look out for great jewelry pieces to spice them up and that Juicy bracelet is so so cute!
