I’m not super crazy about Alexander Wang’s velvety/goth look for the fall (see the complete collection here), but I do love the deconstructed suits and drape-y sweaters. Plus, there’s no denying the fact that Wang is probably one of the most popular/well-known designers of the moment. So in honor of all things fashion week(s), Wang’s show is the inspiration for our Outfit of the Week. . . this week. . .
Everything pictured below is under $100. Velvet might seem a bit heavy for the spring, but it’s still February, we did have snow IN ATLANTA less that two weeks ago, and the mornings can still be a little chilly. So, I think velvet is a perfectly appropriate material for Atlantans in February. Who’s with me? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Nice inspiration and outfit. It is good that all pieces are under $100.

A very inspiring post, I do love your picks and am still hunting down a perfect velvet piece!!
i like the picks you made! such an great blog you gals have! take care
xx ediot
i’m totally digging the velvet!!!!
Well, the old fashioned gal in me thinks that if velvet is getting worn it’d better be before March . so go for it! Also that gray Wang cardi is absolutely mouthwatering.
I so can’t do velvet. Mostly ever, but especially this time of year.
Love your choices Cath!! Hope you’re doing well.
xx Love & Aloha.
oooh I love it!
I think I would like it better if they didnt have the weird greasy hair.
I love the reappearance of velvet for Fall ’10! Especially red velvet!
I dread bare mid drifts again. But love the lace top 🙂
hmm, I can’t say I’m a huge fan of velvet, but if you can rock it- go for it!
I’m loving the suggestions. I have a blue velvet skirt that I’ve had for a while and I’m glad to find some inspiration to wear it again!
Velvet is a favorite of mine, and I particuarly like pairing a classic black velvet jacket with jeans and nice boots.
Bueller? Bueller? GOD i love that movie.
I’ve been waiting for velvet to make a comeback for a few years now, it is such a luxurious fabric.
