The Long & Short of It

Today was another one of those days where you needed to wrap up in the morning and it was warm in the afternoon.  This weather got me thinking about sharing some pics of layering.  I also have a fondness for that "world has come to an end and I have to make do with what I have" kind of look.  Designers have been inspired by tribal looks for years and I love to see how that inspiration is transformed into Ready to Wear.

The images below are from the Gareth Pugh Spring/Summer 2012 collection.  Both outfits are striped, one of my least favorite looks, so I have to concentrate on the silhouettes.  I love the neckline on the dress below.  The long jacket with the hood (imagine covering up from the heat of the sun).  Together, the flow and draping are amazing.

The next picture is a little more "every day" in my opinion.  I love sleeveless for Texas weather.  I  also adore the hoodie detail.  I can see pairing this with leggings and boots for a "wear it now" look.  My imagination also thinks that some detachable sleeves (perhaps attached with a leather strap) would be great to carry you from early spring into summer.
