Leighton Meester The New SJP
Leighton, known for her roll on Gossip Girl, has been dubbed the Sarah Jessica Parker of our era, with her fabulous and daring outfits. Take this amazingly cut green dress, with an unexpected belt. The Fantastic Peep-Toed shoes show off her great gams and her loose, wavy hair play off the pleats in her dress.
What do you think about her outfit? Do you think she’s the new SJP?
We’ve all seen it happen, the happy couple – been together for years (or in some case just a few months) and all of the sudden it’s all sweatpants and dirty T’s. What is it about getting comfortable with someone that makes us totally lose our sense of style, not to mention our sense of self, sense of individuality, sense of normalcy…
I am what most would call a serial monogamist, and have currently been in a 2 1/2 year great relationship, but I find on weekends I tend to immediately go to my workout pants and T-shirt. After dressing up for work all week (I do work in a fashion environment here) sometimes I just don’t have the energy to spend an hour getting ready on Saturday and Sunday. However, how does that make my honey feel? Knowing that I spend all this time getting dressed for work, but don’t feel like I should take the same amount of care and effort at home?
So, here’s what I decided to do. Instead of immediately stripping off my work clothes when I get home for the preferable “lounge-wear” I have decided to leave it on, so that I’m not all “bum” at home. I’ve been trying to spend at least 1 of the 2 weekend days getting myself presentable, even if it’s just for a stroll around central park… and can I say it made quite a difference! Spiced up the love life, and the intimacy, and believe it or not has helped improve our relationship. It seems when you show you care (even just in trying to look nice for each other) it speaks volumes about how you feel….
Do you ever fall into the comfortable “bum” faze of a relationship? What do you do to change it?
It has been called by many names, the Blondie, the One Shoulder, the Off The Shoulder, the 80’s Shoulder, etc. but this little baby is coming back again! Blake and Rachel really rock this sexy fashion, that shows just enough skin without giving too much away. Universally flattering, almost any girl can wear this and look amazing!
Both Rachel in her Brian Reyes and Blake in her Tadashi Soji Dress are showing the most flattering way to wear this trend: in a bright color, and belted! It shows off a beautiful silhouette, and gives skin the perfect glow. Wear hair loose and playful to compliment this style, and most importantly take a style cue from them and wear it with tons of confidence!
What do you think of the One-Shoulder style? Is this a trend you are going to wear?
