Rewind to last Fall and the warning signs of punk are there. It was creeping up in the way of cut offs and plaid blazers in October; it was making itself more comfortable via platform docs in November; and then by December, fishnet had all but become a second skin. Fast forward now to April and what you see above is what’s transpired. Not totally, because I think style, like people, is liable to transform and evolve. But for now, I’ve landed or maybe just briefly touched down somewhere between tomboy and punk, and I don’t foresee that changing anytime soon. This seems natural to me. It doesn’t to some of our readers, but to me and to Ashley, this feels right. Real talk, I don’t love dresses. At least for the past four or so years, I’ve done a pretty good job at stiff-arming them. As with most things, there are exceptions. But if we’re keeping score, the number of slacks and trousers hanging in my closet far outweigh that of dresses. Especially when it comes to parties and events, it’s been a safe bet to assume I’ll be in some sort of top and pant combination, similar to what I’m in here, except maybe with a pair of heels depending on the venue. To get to the specifics of this look, the suit above is by Theory and the sports bra underneath is Fendi. I’m sure this wasn’t the type of top Theory’s designers had in mind, which is also definitely the reason why I wore it. For jewelry, I went in heavy on the silver, adding hoops, a body chain and a wallet chain for consistency within shape. Our look and style has always been described as edgy, the only thing that’s changed is how far we’re taking it. More to come on this topic soon, and thnx for staying with us this far. We’re psyched to be back on the interweb. As always, shop the look below. - K
