时髦人 //COUNTERFEIT Style//

Looking for style inspiration? I’ve pulled some of looks from my favorite of China’s personal style bloggers, i.e. those with above-average fashion sense to wear original looks and below-average modesty to stage daily photoshoots.  Today I’m giving you a healthy dose of 80s decade. Kind of like the remnant fireworks post Chinese New Year, it.just.won’t. stop.

80s

This gal held nothing back. When channeling a decade, it’s sage advice to incorporate one or two statement pieces from an era or other reference to get your point across. But she missed this memo– or totally ignored it– and I’m liking her dissidence .

If Betty Boop and A Smerf went to a Madonna concert, this is would be the wardrobe result. Maybe the fact that Im using cartoon references to assess this outfit means that it’s not real-world-wearable, but either way, I appreciate her unconventional sense of style.  Aluminum-silver oxfords laceups with azure tights turn the volume up on her adorable polka-dot dress.

Switching gears. Her boxy pinstripe Mafia suit paired with studded ankle boots pose a dynamic, powerful look. A flash of ankle thanks to her cuffed pants reminds of her feminity. Try cuffing your trouser-pants worn with heels– it will add a casual sexy nuance to the menswear staple.

One more thing, “You talkin’ to me?”…Yeah, lose the frou-frou hat.
