Mar 09CREATURE OF COMFORT
Comfort is not a word often associated with fashion. I cannot tell you how many times someone has asked me “are your shoes comfortable” or has said “your jacket sure has a lot of buckles.” Wedges and offensive metals are simply my style and I feel comfortable in my various looks. But when I get home it is off with my these clothes and into my workout/lounging attire. This look always consists of an American Apparel tri-blend v-neck and some black stretchy pants – best running outfit I swear!
I mention these dichotomous looks because I have found a designer who has managed to marry style with absolute comfort. The truth is I’ve known about Rebecca Turbow for nine years but I haven’t mentioned her on Fashion Intel because I didn’t realize she branched out from turquoise! During my stint in New York, this sweet young lady lived in my neighborhood and I always used to see her running around in nothing but her cool turquoise duds. Unfortunately for me I am not such a turquoise wearer but now that she has introduced gray I am totally on board! Check out these great images from her Spring 09 campaign and this cute high waisted knife pleated skirt [$35].
