lookbooks

It’s August, the season when all the fashion magazines are trumpeting the new looks for Fall. Some years, some magazines get it right and some, quite simply, do not. As we’re going through the 2012 August issues, we decided that some looks were just too good not to share.

This is actress  Mireille Enos (The Killing) in the August issue of InStyle. She’s wearing Oscar de la Renta’s wool jacket and chiffon blouse:”I feel so womanly in all this lace.Perhaps a bit like a woman I’ll never be, but it feels so elegant to wear.”

To which we say, “Where’s the rest of the outfit? You felt so womanly you forgot your pants or a skirt? Or you felt so womanly you took them off? Or you just figured all that lace would distract us from the fact that you’re NOT WEARING ANYTHING ON THE BOTTOM!”

Of course, we shouldn’t blame poor Mireille Enos; it’s  the stylist, Samira Nasr, who gets the credit for this incredible mashup of doilies.

Is this an outfit that makes you want to hit the shops to create your version?  Will you be wearing something on the bottom?  Tell us in the comments.
