Devil in the Hamptons

Posted on 09.21.09 to $100 and under by Lindsay

As far as fashion is concerned, I never seem to be seasonally accurate.

I watched many a friend slowly shake their heads from side to side as I mentioned in November that I’d like to invest in some cuffed shorts, & July when I announced my passion for floor-length overcoats.

Lately, all I can think about are flowy pairs of light, airy, linen pants topped with a dark, high-cut, structured top with black, strappy sandals. I want the pants to graze the floor, while the toe of the shoes are the only thing that (very occasionally) peeks out. I want the top to be structural enough to keep my shape, but come right to the top of the low-slung linen pants. I want just-out-of-bed hair, and lip balm.

I know, it’s all very “Dominatrix of Montauk”, but I love the ease and the control of it and with the glamour of high-heeled sandals – it’s like the perfect character.

Jenny Han Cut Out Blouse (Slate) from 80sPurple – $61.60 (was $154), GAP Drawstring Linen Pants – $29.99 (were $54.50), Mahal Heel from Alloy – $42.90.

Polka Dot Ruffle Halter from Charlotte Russe – $17.99,J. Crew Linen Beach Pant – $19.99 (were $69.50), Strappy Wrap-Around Stilettos from Charlotte Russe – $32.99.

Thrown for a Loop Top from ModCloth – $62.99, Rebecca Taylor Wide Leg Linen Pants – $82.50 (were $275), Oh… Deer! Gelato Shoe in Black – $85 (were $125).

I’ve been having a lot of fun dreaming up outfits that contrast each other, architecturally. This is one of my favorites, thus far.

What do you think?
