Academy Awards Part 2

Kiel James Patrick

If you missed yesterday's Oscar post, you might want to read it first. Well, the Oscars sounded like a hot mess - I'm glad I passed.

I got a kick out of the fact that I posted yesterday on Sharon Stone's noteworthy Gap shirt and Vera Wang skirt at the 1998 Academy Awards, and everyone agrees that the Best Dressed at this year's Oscars was Zendaya in her white shirt and long skirt ensemble. Stunning.

Someone mentioned in a comment yesterday that Carolina Herrera loves the white shirt with formal skirt look. This was from her 2018 Runway Collection.

I didn't think anyone could look hideous in Carolina Herrera, but Tracee Ellis Ross proved me wrong. OMG.

Here are some ideas for warm weather skirts to wear with the classic white shirt look. I love this Hydrangea Skirt - gorgeous embroidered hydrangeas on linen. Available in white or pink.

  4. Those Kiel James Patrick hydrangea skirts are wonderful. I tried to order one, but they are out of stock in my size. I hope they are restocked. What is with these dresses designed with patches over the breasts?! At the risk of sounding prudish, (I am not), but they reveal entirely too much, and are unflattering to boot. This isn't the beach.

  5. Oh no , Tracee Ellis Ross with those two red Mickey Mouse ears !
    Rule one : the more skin you show the less elegant it is going to be .
    You can look erotic even fully dressed , it's all in the mind .
    Here the mind is asking , is this right ? And so already wrong . . .
