Fall Inspiration: Alicia Fox - Diametrical Textures

This super-fun pairing of textures was one of my favorite looks from Alicia Fox last year. The matching of cool, smooth cotton poplin with a fuzzy knit had such a haute couture feel! Mixing textures always elevates a look. For this edition of Inspiration, I've re-imagined her look with the textures swapped: a smooth, silky midi skirt, paired with a slightly cropped faux fur jacket The color story is all about the blend of soft neutrals with pink, for a warm, feminine appeal. I've kept the lace-up look of her booties, but gone with a fur trimmed variant to keep the textural play going. Foxy added a bit of modern dash with suspenders, while I've done something similar by going for the slightly exotic, having-it's-moment halter, via this BCBG piece. If you're less daring, consider adding a pinch of leather with a belt at your waist or wrist to bring a little more edge to this soft, cozy, flowy look. You could dress this up with a collared shirt like Foxy's and a bit of glam jewelry, or dress it down with a tee shirt and ivory denim jacket. Wear it to lunch, to dinner, to school (but only if you want to turn heads ;)) to the symphony, to a Thanksgiving celebration. Happy styling! And #BeInspired XO
