My friend C. and I, happened to notice the very same article on Vanity Fair Italy and, as we seem to be doing lately, we happened to both think about writing a post about it… scary, isn’t it?! (only a couple of weeks ago we met up and were dressed the same…). Anyway, we decided to do what we like best, she has written a nasty piece about how ugly and ridiculous some women look and I have written the one about the women who get it right. Although… I think this time I was the one with the most difficult job! I had quite a lot of trouble finding some stylish women and decent outfits!!!!!

Now, bear in mind please, these are women who can afford a- designer clothes b- all sort of beautician services and products (some of them perhaps surgery too!) c- some of them were even born to be models

I would like to start with the one I liked best. Simple top with sleeves (perfect to cover up any “flabbiness”. Leather skirt but nice and loose = chic instead of “tarty”. Very simple sandals, because she is already wearing leather, so she doesn’t over do it. I might actually have something to say about that hair… shorter would definitely be better but because she is The Macpherson, I guess she can (translation: you can’t).

ELLE MACPHERSON

There’s only one other woman from the Vanity Fair article I liked and I would have never thought I would one day show on my Blog as an example of style:  Luciana Littizzetto. Not because she isn’t stylish, in fact I don’t know whether she normally is, but because she is a great comedian, and that’s what comes to mind when I think of her! But then, us women, can be a lot of things…

LUCIANA LITTIZZETTO

Can’t see the shoes. Great hair, just the right length for that age. Great top, loose enough but not shapeless, with a tasteful print. Black for the bottom part which is not tight. On top of all this, she has a great sense of humour, which adds considerably! This is where my selection from the Vanity Fair article ends.

Now I am just going to show you a selection of just under/just over or just 50 women I think have style or anyway look great:
