Fashion

[KaySD]

I just bought a few pieces from Logo--a couple jackets, a shirt and some tanks. I'm not sure if they look all that great on me, but they feel great when I wear them, so I'm enjoying it. Last year, I bought several items from Graver--basic trousers, two jackets, a chiffon vest and a few shirts. 

I just realized how well the two seem to go together, especially the liquid knit and chiffon things. Layering requires fabrics that are very supple and not too thick, and that's true for the things I have in both  lines. I know, I know, layering isn't everyone's cup of tea, but there's something very pleasing to me about the way it feels, and putting my two little "collections" together really multiplies the options.

Anybody else do this? I think both designers would approve of the outfits I've made, and that it would be fun for QVC to team them up from time to time to show us more ideas.

It sounds like you have found your own personal comfort zone and your own personal sytle with fashion. That is what it is all about!! It doesn't matter what others think or how they would do things all that matters is that you feel good in your clothes and enjoy putting outfits together and wearing them!!! I say Bravo to you also for mixing and matching different designers and making things you love work for you!!

I can't picture either ( of those 2) designer being okay with that...

But who cares what they think? They're making bank anyway....

You keep doing what you're doing and enjoying your options!

I think beauty and fun of fashion is that YOU get to style your clothes any way you want to.  I love Qvc fashions because  I can mix and match things and come up with my own unique outfits.  I tend to buy things in a specific color range or in neutrals and I have fun creating different looks.  You are on the right track....

I mix LOGO with SG, Attitudes by Renee (ABR) and Chico's.   I don't want anything to stick to anything else. 

My layers alternate ...  slippery/sticky/slippery/etc  Even my pants ... if I'm wearing "sticky" pants, my first top layer has to be slippery.   

What's the point of wearing clothing that is drapey and moves when I walk if the layers are going to stick to each other.

 I think it sounds fantastic!  Good for you for trying new things and matching in your own way.  Fashion should be fun, enjoy yourself.

Hey, @ALRATIBA,I like the slippery/sticky alternation principle. You are right, and what I like about wearing layers is the feeling of the fabrics sliding across each other. I'm just getting started playing with this idea (because the fabrics are thin enough to allow it)j, but mostly what I've done so far has been slippery/slippery! So now, I'll try more of the alternation.

How about this for principle #2? No more than 2 sleeves at the same time. If I layer more than two items, all but 1 or 2 need to be sleeveless (or maybe really, really thin, like chiffo.

How about some more "principles of layering?"

@KaySD That's exactly what I do.  SG mixes well with LoGo, at least for me.  I also have a couple of Halston tees that look great with the other two brands.

[KaySD]

@luv-the-Q Yeah, I can see adding Halston, though I don't have any of that line. I did just pull a Linea kimono, printed chiffon type, and put it on top of one of my Logo tanks. That worked, and I'm glad because I didn't really have much to wear the Linea one with.

I feel like I just got a lot of new clothes from making new outfits. Fun!

More "principles:" 

#3: Nothing stiff, nothing bulky

#4: Wovens, unless sheer weight, only for the top layer, or for trims.

(Not that there are really any rules!)

@ALRATIBA Your post could have been my post!  That's what I do.  We must be related.  😁
