Kelly Connor's (The Vogue Fashion Assistant) Look For Less!

          Kelly Connor was featured last month in Vogue's "5 days 5 looks, 1 girl section", her style was modern, stylish yet feminine, her sister says"Kelly is one of the best-dressed women I've ever known, and I'm not just saying that because she's my sister. She is a style inspiration for not only myself, but for everyone she encounters as well. You could take Kelly to WalMart and she'd emerge looking chic as hell, this young woman knows her stuff!" to which we totally agree. Here is a link for all those who covet her first day look to give you a classic fashionable look for lesser price(As we all can't afford VACCA).






              First of all I would like to start with her shirt, mostly we all avoid yellow color but I think yellow color gives a radiance to your face. Indeed, its fashionable but when worn in a right way.She says about her outfit:"Today, I was feeling primary colors! The sun is shining, and so my winter rut of wearing black with black has come to an end at last. Now I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum!  My shirt is Jil Sander, and my army pants are Band of Outsiders. The ikat jacket is from VACCA and made of antique hand-woven silk that was naturally dyed in Uzbekistan. And, while flats always tempt me, I decided to put on these Steve Madden wedges to give my super-slouchy outfit a little oomph."
 This jacket is from Cold Water Creek.From blazer lines and an offbeat ikat print comes an exciting, new look. With a shapely, more defined silhouette, this cotton jacket is unexpectedly accented with a soft twist of fabric from notched lapels to hem for a bit of flair. Slit cuffs to turn back and patch pockets. Bound seams inside. Machine wash. Imported. $59

               A khaki cargo goes well in the beach to a casual party but the way Kelly has mixed the formal shirt and the silk coat with a simple cargo is simply marvelous. I have become a big fan of her.These cargos are available widely. But the most easy thing to do is to just borrow your boyfriend's cargo  and the belt just the way Kelly did, she tells:"This handmade ostrich Domenico Vacca belt is my boyfriend’s, but I think I’ve earned ownership rights since I wear it more frequently than he does. Then again, we share a lot of things in our closet. He even wants to wear these army pants, which makes me wonder if I’ve taken the slouchy-chic thing a little too far. . . . I am also wearing my favorite vintage tortoiseshell cuff bracelet."
Victoria's secret cargo pant with drawstring waist, zip and button closure, two front flap pockets with faux buttons, two back patch pockets and two side cargo pockets. $39.50

               Kelly says"I love the color of this Fendi bag! It’s the perfect size—somehow it manages to look ladylike while still holding way more of my stuff than one would think possible (there’s even room for a backup pair of flats for when my dogs start barking). "

             For shoes any brown booties or sandals will go with the outfit, remember if you are wearing them to office they should be as simple as possible. I hope you will find these links useful.
