Dear Confashion: Spice Up My Lanvin


Q: I have a fashion issue I want you to take care of, I have this Lanvin oversized tee and I really really like it but the problem is that I want to wear it! and you know what wearing means! To spice it up and to make a whole outfit out of it , when I tried wearing it with skinny, leggings and bubble skirt it looked boring. So what do you suggest ?

Regards,
Eve

A: First of all, allow me to congratulate you on your very stylish selection, I love this Lanvin shirt. It's light weight material is soooo perfect and comfortable for our weather.

To spice up your Lanvin shirt, Try wearing it with baggy work-like pants (not denim), stacked bangles, and chunky peep-toe shoe-boots (perfect for summer nights). To give it more of a boy-meets-girl look, try adding suspenders to it, but leave them hanging (if you don't have wide hips otherwise they'll add some bulk). If you're looking for a laid back and casual look, try pairing it with cropped skinny pants (again not jeans), a pair of chunky heeled patent sandals, and a structured bag. For a quirky look, try pairing it with full skirt (not bubble) and ankle boots (the shirt tucked inside).

From shopowner:

One more way to wear it is to wear it with skinnies or leggings and belt it with a mismatched belt like a bright yellow or blue with matching ballerinas...

Shopowner: I tried it with legging but i didnt like it, and I cant have a belt on this tee because it has lots of faces on it !
I'll try it with colored skinnies maybe it will works !

the only ways this top will look good and not dated is with either some baggies in a fine black material (or white)
or with a full skirt as suggested. i really do not advise skinnies with this unless you usually pull of a carrie look.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
