LOOKS I LOVE...Isabel Marant playing with layered practicality!






     Boho? Sleek? Practical? All of the above is the correct answer when you're referring to Isabel Marant's Spring/Summer 2011 collection. The french designer took "real people clothes" to the runway in an unusual yet crazily commonsensical way! Comfy sweaters layered with trendy skirts and casual trousers paired with sequins all made an appearance in this collection.
     Blazers and basic tees is a combination that I would wear every day if I could and Isabel Marant just gave me my umpteenth option for doing this by mixing in a pop of blue sequence that peeks out from underneath. She used lots of basics for layering and belting to give a "sorta-laid back" yet still figure flattering appearance to all her looks. The sleek heels wrap around the ankle to add some edge to classic pieces.
     These looks work for anyone on the go or just chillin' with a coffee drink in hand. They are varied from the usual t-shirt and jeans but let anyone keep their top priority in mind: COMFORT!

Warning: Yes, layers can be flattering and comfortable, but if you choose to layer too many pieces in the wrong order, you may end up appearing as an abominable creature of sorts. Do not drown yourself in unnecessary layers. Instead, opt for layering a few basics with one standout piece to pull it all together!
