From their closet to yours: Get the Lucky look
Lucky magazine has been one of my favorite newsstand purchases since it first debuted. I remember being very young and picking up the inaugural issue and thinking, “So this is why fashion can be interesting.”
Their website–now upgraded–is actually fairly informative, and I like their new “Cute Outfit of the Day” section in which they single out someone on their staff and take a photo of their outfit. It’s really fascinating to see how Senior Fashion Editors, for instance, dress on a day to day basis. Obviously the Lucky offices aren’t exactly “The Devil Wears Prada”–they dress like everyday women, just more trend and designer-conscious.
I chose some of my favorite looks from Cute Outfit of the Day and found inexpensive ways to copy the style of these supposed (and well-qualified) style experts working in the fashion industry.
Heather Summerville – Senior Associate Fashion Editor
Heather’s look is stylish, but still attainable for the average woman. Sometimes fashion can be too fashion-y (for instance, men STILL do not understand why trapeze dresses were fashionable.) This, however, translates well to all sorts of different vocations.
Try this Urban Outfitters tee (it’s on sale at 2 for $25) with these Gap “Favorite” trouser jeans, which come in longer inseams for us tall women, and petite inseams for you midgetors. Pair these basics with this interesting cropped trench from Target. The tie in the front alone dresses up the whole look. You could also leave the trench unbuttoned for a more casual appearance.
