black leather, transparent black

Here are two images that have inspired me lots this summer. I love Sophie's look (above), because I became a huge fan of short leather shorts last fall when I found a sweet little pair at et vous. I wear mine all the time, during blizzards and especially in the rain. I also love Sophie's choice of top- the curved shoulders and texture are key. And last, but definitely not least, I love her bucket style bag.

I admire Suzanne's look for its simplicity: a floor-sweeping shift layered over a shorter tank dress (length play always scores big points with me). Her dress also reminds me of the transparent pieces that Alexander Wang sent down the runway this Spring. I would have loved a pair of those transparent jog pants.
