"Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy"

A modern version of a slightly cowboyish look; denim, a check shirt, a neckerchief and boots. And that was kind of an accident. I really just wanted to wear the neckerchief that I bought yesterday. My last post highlighted them as one of my new obsessions and I was crazy to start wearing one. So I built an outfit around it and this happened. They're just so cute! How could I resist? I stayed in a tonal family of red with cherry and burgundy tones - hot colours for the new season (pun always intended) and some of my favourites to wear.

Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2012.

I'm not really feeling Wang's A/W 2012 collection - a first, as I adore him to the max - but his Pre-Fall collection for this year is lovely; wonderfully modern, at times tailored, other times draped, sometimes androgynous, other times feminine. The palate is limited; largely grey, black, white and red with some pops of colour like yellow.

I adore the pleated coat-dress that is traditionally masculine on top and feminine on bottom. Other highlights are the leather peplums, the use of dresses or long tops over trousers (a look I love but find difficult to pull off) and the tailored shirts, waistcoats and jackets. A cohesive yet varied collection that would suit many a woman.

Sidebar: I always love his models. Major hair envy.
