Inspiration Board: Barbie - 4 Shades Of Gray

I've often made the case that simple outfits can sometimes have the most impact. That is very true of this wonderful look from Barbie. It's about as edited as a look can get: a gray cropped sweater (with a cute asymmetric detail at the collar and bell sleeves), paired with leggings and given a twist of fierce via OTK boots.  This is literally a perfect look for so many occasions that it's one we've got to put in our Lookbook file! Bell sleeves have been having a moment lately, so if you have a sweater with them, that's definitely a piece to consider. It doesn't have to be gray - any neutral will work. A special detail, such as said sleeves, or the flipped down collar on Barbie's sweater, adds an extra bit of chic to a simple look like this. It can still come together nicely with a basic knit piece, though. A simple cropped sweater in marled gray works via the texture created by the marled yarn. And don't forget - if you want to do a cropped look but are going somewhere showing skin is frowned upon (or you just like to stay warm ;), - layer a longer piece under your cropped top. This will still give you the proportion of the cropped style while keeping you cold-weather-ready! A chunky cable knit functions similarly to a marl - the texture of the knit creates a stylish visual dynamic. Designers have been doing a lot of really creative, beautiful knit designs lately, so it's worth taking a look at what is out there currently if you're ready to replenish your sweater collection.  Also, don't be afraid to play with proportion in other ways. While Barbie went with a cropped styling, you can also use an oversized or boyfriend style sweater with this look by virtue of the leggings/skinny pants pairing. Slouchy on top with slim on the bottom has a great casually chic vibe and it's super comfy as well. Add the right touch of attitude to this pairing with OTK's - either flat or heeled will do equally well, so go with whatever floats your ducks :). If you decide to add jewelry to this look, keep it edited and casual - an artsy pendant or leather cuff bracelet are all you need to round off this simple, stylish statement. I hope this inspires you to give it a try sometime soon, lovelies! XO
PS Quick find: This cute ivory sweater from Garnet Hill has a fold-over collar like Barbie's.
