Since it's an incredibly s l o o o o o o o w news day, I thought I'd post something a little different. If it's not your thang, just scroll past it...and OC promises an Opera-related post later today.
ok ok when you think of Milan and you think of like fashion, food, soccer, and music...and of course, <*~Opera Chic~*> (but not necessarily in that order of importance) am i rite?
So in my daily sojourns around the city, I'm assaulted by equal amounts of good/bad style, and was thinking recently that it would be kewl to share some of the offerings; of course, OC would <3 to share photos of her kickin, killer outfits with you, but to do so would compromise too many variables. Instead, while I was running around recently, I snapped a few shots of daily fashion typical of Milan style. So here it is:
(below):vvvvvvv The woman below is unlocking her bike in a Burberry trench, ballet flats, and perfectly-hemmed black pants. The tailoring is equisite. This is quintessential Milan style: elegant, understated, $$$, but well-made clothing that lasts forever (well...except for Burberry now that it has started production to China. a$$h*les)
(below):vvvvvvv I love this photo because of the miniature cola can he's holding. omg look at little the baby can omg how do you even drink from that? is there like a tiny little baby straw? This guy was making a funny face, thusly eviscerating his overall hawtness, but it still works.
(below):vvvvvvv There is so much I love about this woman I can't even start. So I won't. This lady is so Milan eclectic/elegance, I don't even care if those are knock-off Pradas...
(below):vvvvvvv This is what every. single. teenager. in Milan looks like. fo'reals.
(below):vvvvvvv red platform stiletto shoes...when the rest of Milan swaps stilettos for ballet flats the minute it gets above 15 degrees celcius, this woman was all like aw heyll naw.
those shoes belonged to this vvvvvvvv
(below):vvvvvvv black leggings, khaki shorts, and a hawaiian-print dress thrown over. This is such a mess that it actually works. Council of Elrond, tho'.
(below):vvvvvvv biano/nero.
Love it? Hate it? HSUT UP U KNOW U LUV IT!!!!
