Look of the day


Black textured leather feather-embellished sandals with a heel that measures approximately 4.5 inch, a strap across front with a tonal chain-link embellishment, a pointed toe, an exposed zip fastening at back with an oversized circular zip pull and a thin ankle strap.


Step into these Givenchy sandals to watch your style status soar. Keep the focus firmly on your feet by teaming these plush plume heels with a well-cut pencil dress like Julien Macdonald's gray peaked shoulder wool jersey mini dress. Weave a little chic into your cocktail look with Bottega Veneta's black intrecciato woven silk satin clutch.

Trying to pull off an 80’s inspired look can be highly confounding primarily because there is a very thin line between being right on trend and looking like an extra from the ‘like a virgin’ Madonna video. If you’re aiming for the latter then all I can say is God be with you but to pull off the former, you need to swear by the two golden rules

1. You should only sport this trend if you were too young to wear it the first time around. That is, for the ladies in their 40s and 50s, raiding your high school wardrobe may not be a very good idea.
2. You should build the look around one key trend and try to keep the rest of your ensemble simple. For example, wearing an exaggerated shoulder dress with a bejeweled jacket, studded booties, ghetto gold and big hair is comparable to fashion suicide. (sample see below)




















Hopefully this will help you to channel your inner disco diva of the 80s with class and sophistication.
