scandal line – the Spiff

Does anyone else want to wear long gloves like one of those gorgeous women from the Hitchcock movies? Watch the segment from yesterday to see why I’ve always wanted to wear those gloves (it makes me giggle).

Kerry Washington and the costume designer for the show Scandal, collaborated with The Limited to create this gorgeous collection that’s equal parts powerful and feminine. Really, if Kerry Washington would just collaborate with someone I’d buy into it. She always looks gorgeous.

Take a look at what they’ve got even if it’s not something you think you’d wear. They’ve done such a great job of translating confidence and power while maintaining an air of graceful beauty. I’d take a venti-size portion of all those words any day. What do your clothes say about you?

It’s good to take a step back, maybe browse through our own Instagram or Facebook for the sole purpose of acting as a PR consultant. Because that’s exactly what you are for yourself. You’ve got social media platforms you step up to everyday, what is it you’re conveying to the world when you’re “up there”? Something to think about.

By the way…

Happy October!! It’s my favorite month of all!!

The Limited has teamed up with the TV show Scandal to produce a line of clothes based on Kerry Washington’s character.

Umm… Why haven’t we done this before?!

Getting to shop looks from a character who has great style is, in a word, magnificent. I so wish someone would do that with Gina Torres’ character on Suits! But in order for other shows to get the hint, we need to buy up clothes from this one.

So I’ve pulled three items from the line that will flow beautifully into your everyday life, even if it doesn’t involve running a crisis management firm and apparently juggling many high-powered crises of your own…

This elbow sleeve sweater in pink is so feminine yet so sexy. Good thing too, because that’s what they were going for with this entire collection (I just thought I’d wow you there with my description). You could wear this so many ways – pair it with boyfriend jeans, leopard heels and some diamond encrusted earrings for a fabulous breakfast out with friends, or wear it with tapered black pants, flats and a low bun for looking chic while running errands.

Whether you report to an office or not, this gorgeous drape neck shell is begging to be part of your wardrobe. Why? Because it wants to get in there and fix that blazer crisis that happens when you have a fabulous blazer but nothing to wear underneath it.

From what I hear, this draped front open cardigan would be something Kerry Washington’s character would wear when lounging and drinking wine. I typically don’t lounge around in something so chic (ok well sometimes I do). But I would wrap up in this soft son of a bean for all kinds of events…shopping, meetings, Tuesdays.

Like I said, the whole collection’s about looking smart and sexy. I’m not going to go all women’s lib on you, but that is a great combination of adjectives. So even if you don’t think you’re going to have any important meetings with the President next week (check your calendar just to be sure), you should definitely these pieces to your fall wardrobe. Good thing they’re all available at The Limited in West Town Mall. *sly grin.

Confidence. Grace. Style. What Message are You Sending?
