Every Thursday I scour the net for some inspiring celebrity fashion and create replica outfits for less. It´s great to be able to demystify the secrets behind celebrity outfits and to embrace them like our own, at an affordable price, that is.
Today, I´ve been inspired by the boy-meet-girl trend which seems to be a stars´favorite – wearing jackets over dresses. There are many ways you can create a jacket-over-dress look. You can be a bit flirty, a little bit edgy, a little bit casual or a little bit more trendy. The mystery of “jacket over a dress” glamor is actually evoke by an element of contrast. Jacket is kindá masculine while dress is feminine.
