Paris Fashion Week SS 2017....Yasmin

Style.com Fashion Director Yasmin Sewell, before Valentino, Paris, October 2016.

This outfit literally took my breath away - SO beautiful. The colours (peach and baby blue velvet = divine) + the menswear-inspired dressing robe style just work so well with Yasmin's cutout top and frayed hem jeans.

Keyhole cutout top - Solace London Salma top

Platform clogs - Saint Laurent leather platform clogs, Gucci Amstel clogs, Malone Souliers June suede and leather clogs, Ulla Johnson Stevie suede clogs, Tom Ford Platform clog sandals, or See by Chloe Clive leather wedge clogs

Style.com Fashion Director, beauty Yasmin Sewell, before Miu Miu, Paris, October 2016.

That dress (so simple, so chic) with those boots (amazing!). And even if the boots are a little too fashion-forward (not everyone can - or wants to - carry off metallic knee boots) a dress in this shape and style would work with pumps, flats or sandals. 

Recreate (kind of) Yasmin's sublime look:

Mock turtleneck dress - Vetements Turtleneck dress (I think this is the beautiful dress Yasmin is wearing), Tibi tie-back silk dress, See by Chloe Smocked high-neck velvet dress, or Norma Kamali turtleneck dress

Fashion Consultant Yasmin Sewell, before Dries Van Noten, Paris, September 2013.

Today, two ways to wear a full maxi skirt: with a simple printed tee like Yasmin is wearing in these photographs, or with a sweater and shirt like Tiffany wore (in the post below). I think the idea of a full maxi skirt can be a bit daunting especially for day (there is a lot of material going on!) but worn with a casual tee or a simple sweater - and a confident attitude - it can definitely work.
