Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Elena

Elena Perminova, after Stella McCartney, Paris, March 2012.

Love this outfit on Elena - sure, there is a lot going on (patterns, patent/shiny fabric, statement flowers, colour) but somehow she makes it all work together cohesively. To me, it is the sort of inspiring outfit where you can find at least one piece that you really love and could see working in your own wardrobe. Personally, I love Elena's floral neckpiece - so very beautiful.

Recreate Elena's look (kind of):

Lanvin Petales necklace, Lanvin Raffia flower choker necklace or Lulu Frost triple pipeline necklace

Add a shiny jacket: Altuzarra Chameleon hooded coated nylon jacket, Lisa Perry Snazzy jacket or Miu Miu patent leather jacket

A Printed top: J. Crew Shafasa polk-dot silk shirt, Stella McCartney Wilson paisley print blouse, Acne Patti print blouse, MSGM print shirt

Some cute shorty shorts: Rory Beca Orissa silk running shorts, or  Anna Sui printed silk shorts
