Fashion MUSE of the month: Karla Deras

So since I’ve vowed not to buy any more makeup until at least 3 items in my collection are used up, fashion has become my new solace. I’ve been far overdue for a new look, so this phase couldn’t have come at a better time, and with that, my fave blog of the moment Karla’s Closet. Now while I know I don’t have it in me to wear half of her looks verbatim, it’s nice to see the themes and take them in for personal interpretations. A few of my favorite looks:
 Love her from the neck up here. I mean, the sweater is hot, but the hawk, earring and aviator combo is divine. Perfect for a night out or on the way to class..........
Definitely something i would wear....normal but just weird enough to make you look twice......the layering and color combo would work well for fall and the light wash denim surprises me next such a structured jacket......
So as my friend the cynic who thinks her whole blog is fake says, she should soooooo model. If not for the fact that she looks effin hot here, she also mixes feminine and masculine aesthetics here in the most awesome way......and the wet-from-recent-rain look just puts it over the edge.....
While I probably love this look for the simple fact that I could NEVER wear it, I also think the overall idea is sick. I've always been drawn to volumized pants or shorts and a somewhat revealing top so I could definitely see myself putting together a look around these lines, although it won't include a sash as a top at any point in the future, near or far...............
Looks like these are why I love her style. I've always wanted to go vintage, and a look like this is soooo in my lane. Puffy skirts have been my thing for about a year now, but I can never get them the way I want them, which by the way is the shape above (not bitter at all). Moving on.................
By far my fave look of hers..........simple but adorable with clean lines and tons of nostalgic edge...... and I'm always a sucker for giant hoops!!!! I think of all of the looks I've seen this would be one that i would follow most closely recreate one day.......hmmmmmmmmm.......
             No matter what she wears, Karla exudes confidence, innovation, and attention to detail in a way that has had me completely captivated this month. Check her out at www.KarlasCloset.blogspot.com
