The Menswear Look

Today we went over to my wonderful boyfriend's Grandmother's house.  And after a delicious meal of grilled fish, borscht and dumplings, she pulled out a giant bag of.....viola!  Clothes!  They were from her daughter who is in her 40's and has an obsession with designer clothing and the money to spend on it, but then she comes home to try them only only to find that they are too "young" for her-and that is how I have inherited a rich Russian woman's wardrobe.   
 I must say, she has good taste!  The bag contained all kinds of wonderful black pieces that are totally Fall  and work appropriate.  It also included a wonderful micro-mini black pleather skirt with a large white cross going across it all Twiggy-Mod style - it makes me want to wear cat-eye liner and go-go boots!  The two pieces I am most excited about are the two pairs of trouser pants one from Ralph Lauren that are fitted really nice through the thigh and a pair from Arden B made out of a swishy material that feels like a slicker.  Very Le Smoking!  These give me a great opportunity to experiment with the whole menswear/le smoking look and it s preferably best in black . . . .

Best worn with clean minimalistic make-up (line your eyes) and sleek shiny hair; either in a classic knot at the nape of your neck or simply down and perfectly straight.  Classic and sexy!
