Categorically speaking

T'is Fashion Week in New York at Lincoln Center and the themes or categories from the collections are shaping up as follows; The above look is noted as "Urban Warrior." Lots of dark or light clean architectural lines for cities that require clothes for combat. Now where does that leave the suburban soldier like me to brave the elements?
Perhaps "The Great Outdoors" is my category.
A little bit military mod mixed with a melange of crunchy and tactile textures, for your next great outdoors adventure. I have always loved the great outdoors and the ability to look sporty while walking my dog or pumping gas.
"Eccentric Ladylike"
Now have you ever met a lady with eccentricities and quirks that you just wanted to emulate?
This category appealed to me because it has a "grown up" vibe about it.
After all that "urban warrior" and "great outdoors gal" needs a bit of softness and the "eccentric lady" in my book never really ever goes out of fashion.

These are just a few of the categories for Fall 2010.
Categorically speaking, which one of these talks to you or do you have another out-fit?
Urban Warrior
Great Outdoors
Eccentric Ladylike

  2. I would pinch a
    bit from each
    category, but not
    do any from head
    to toe! I do love
    the jackets....the
    black and camel. I
    guess camel is one
    of THE colors this
    season, so I need to
    snag something in
    this color. Fun post,
    Patricia!

  3. I have a thing for saddle shoes, so the Great Outdoors with the curvy fur collared jacket catches my eye. That would be very eccentric in my neighborhood, but I'm starting not to care anymore.

  5. Love these looks!
    The first two are great, probably just tweak them, but the last one.
    Brilliant!
    So retro Audrey or images of Earhert come to mind....

  7. PVE,

    Great post as fashion week is upon us. Love the colors, looks and styles. My first thought was Hepburn and Earnheart as well. Urban Saburban is what I gathered from the mix. Love Fall.

  13. I like the look of Eccentric Ladylike, although I'd probably gravitate more toward something called Classic Ladylike. I'm not very adventorous in my fashion.

  15. It is usually classic ladylike (I hope) for me, but as I get older and more daring (free?) eccentric ladylike appeals more & more to me. Besides, that coat is amazing and the hat adorable. I do wish we wore more hats in the US.
    Best,
    Colleen
