icon ; alexa vs tavi

ALEXA CHUNG , a chick i thought, who have the style. very iconic look. she doesn't seem to work so hard putting pretty garments on her and she works very well in vintage. somehow, less is more. don't over accessorize. i hope she is not loosing anymore weight. otherwise, she look like an anorexia victim. she doesn't seem to have thousand of clothes in her closet. i see repetition of her pieces, seem ordinary, and she plays a lot with layering her garments. yet, its unique. hence, we don't necessarily spend thousands to get what we so call " style " . its the matter on how we pair up 10 pieces garments into 30 styles. creativity involved, thus we need to know our body well enough, what fit and how do we look in it. no one wants to be named fashion slave for trying too hard. you can google ' alexa chung ' for more of her fashion style library. i love her style, minimalism and vintage chic. another fashion icon i would like to recommend. i read the a...
