Winter Lab Style 5.1: Sequencing Is In The DNA
Winter dressing can be a conundrum when the weather decides to weather. Trying to look professional, but not impersonal adds to the wintery mix. Here are a few key pieces to add to the sequence to keep things from getting gloomy.
Shoes
A nice pair of riding boots in a gray color scheme keep legs warm in walking cities and goes with everything. Sequins Vans glitz up lab days and after dark socials. These slip-ons are comfortable without being informal. They’re perfect paired with jeans, a midi skirt/dress, or slacks.
Pants
Patterned pants in a silky wool are fantabulously fun for drab Winter days. Emilio Pucci does it right. These are ideal with a turtleneck, bulky sweater or shirt and blazer.

Shirt
Reflection on the end of one year and beginning of another gets inspiration by some of the greats. No day is too dark with Einstein, McQueen and Hendrix. This style pairs nicely with anything from jeans to skirts.
Blazer
A corduroy blazer in black pulls any look together. The heavier material balances the lightness of a T-shirt or blouse.

Alongside Islandscapes, this was an early look at the bar as an extension of the bar as an installation. How peculiar to drink and eat at a bar created by someone who made art with decaying food.
