Can you think of one current (i.e. trendy) fashion icon that dresses in an unabashedly girly way? I don’t mean the occasional feminine blouse with brogues (a la Alexa Chung) or a floral mini dress with black leather and hardware (thank you, Chloe Sevigny). I mean, really girly: ruffles, hour glass silhouettes, lots of color, big rings (with nary a cross or pyramid stud), heels without the clunk.
I miss it. I really do. I mean, Cath and I still lust after Alexander Wang tees and fell for the tomboyish bodycon charm of Erin Wasson. But after a few months of wearing leggings and oversized sweaters and heavy chains, I’m yearning for something a little more like this:
Today’s inspiration comes from Ms. Lindsay Price (aka Victory Ford on the now defunct television series ‘Lipstick Jungle’). Apart from her girly wardrobe, Cath and I are also fans of Price because she’s a biracial baby just like us (KoreanGermanIrish vs. our ChineseFrenchDanishGermanIrish). There really aren’t a lot of women on television who look like us, so we always get a little excited when we someone kind of AsianCajun-ish. For many years, the only celebrity people could think to compare us to was Michelle Kwan.
Back to the girliness… here’s your Polyvore for the week:

March 2nd, 2010 at 2:25 amI have the opposite problem: My wardrobe is so full of ruffles, florals, full-skirted frocks, and ornately detailed pieces that I’m constantly striving to mix in masculine lines and a harder edge to counterbalance the sweetness. But hey, a mixture of styles makes things more interesting, right?

March 2nd, 2010 at 9:51 amAH! I LOVE Lindsay Price! She was the only reason I watched that show, and the only reason I watched Eastwick which unfortunately was cancelled after a few episodes. I can’t wait to see her on another show again.. And those gumball rings are fantastic.. must add to my spring/summer wishlist…

March 11th, 2010 at 10:53 pmWhy am I so weird and still have this post unread?
Now I want to go track down episodes of Lipstick Jungle–I’ve never seen it. The outfits look so fab and ready for work. And ooooh I am obsessed with the Gumball rings too. I can’t decide which color! I think I have three different ones on my current wishlist.
