Outfit: Watch, Briefcase, Trousers

I'm still fixating my sartorial attentions on the menswear-inspired look, with everything from trousers to briefcase-like bags to chunky gold watches. As usual, I tried to give everything a little balance by adding super-feminine ruffles and a subtle bow on the shoes, hopefully giving the standard white-shirt-dark-trousers look a bit of a unique spin!

I've had menswear on my mind since I saw the WWD spread a couple days ago, but I wanted to put my own spin on things. While I love the boyish look, my favorite kind of outfit always strikes a balance between two contradicting styles. In other words, something like delicate lace layered under a grungy plaid top or, in this case, a masculine foundation paired with an ultra-feminine blouse - plus chunky jewelry to loosen up the look.

Menswear is one of my favorite looks, though I usually like to soften things up with some feminine touches (like ruffles and pretty pastels - perfect for this coming spring!). The Spring/Summer 2010 issue of WWDFast features "Trail Blazer," a gorgeous spread full of suits, oxfords, plaids, and all manner of preppy, menswear-inspired pieces. The photos, shot by Amanda Pratt, have a definitive old-school quality, infused with boyish charm and a touch of sexy secretary.
