inspiration board: Tina Chow

 

this season i'm inspired by Tina Chow - the simplicity and quiet strength of her style. there's grace and sensuality and femininity within, and again, a comfort and ease to how she inhabits her clothes. case in point: her signature uniform - a men's white tee underneath a slouchy cashmere cardigan. sleek hair; clean, minimal makeup. the best part of it all is that all the pieces are imminently accessible and timeless foundation pieces.



it's also a perfect compact style uniform for travel. you could dress it up or down, depending on if you want to pair the look with a statement necklace, skirt, heels, etc.

  6. Such lovely picures! I also wish I could get a pixie cut, like Michelle Williams' or Carey Mulligan's, but it's not going to happen!
