Look of the Day: Polished Punk

January 19, 2009

sandra werner showed off her rebellious side today wearing a cool zippered skirt and silky blouse. I like how her polished punk ensemble is edgy, yet still chic enough to wear to the office. Well done!

Here's what she has on:

Top: Doo Ri
Skirt: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Booties: LD Tuttle
Tights: Wolford
Belt: Unknown

Congrats to sandra werner!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Kiki, you have all my support. This is an open place and you are free to post what you think about a look, of course always being respectful, as you were.

Very well put, Sandy! :cheer:Regarding the comments about everyone fawning over Sandy because of the designer clothing she wears; I remember on many an occasion where Sandy has mentioned that she firmly believes in mixing high and low end to make a look. From what I know, she too will look at the quality of clothing, and not the name. Sandy, this look is outside of your norm, and I would like to commend you on mixing things up. :hug:

Ms. Sandy you are such an amazing woman,I Don't know how you managed to clarify everything, everything without being offensive. It seems everything comes out so natural. You are a very fine lady. One in a million I guess. Now I know what it takes to be Ms. SW.

Well my goodness, who would have ever guessed that a blue blouse and a gray skirt could cause this much commotion ;) I thought that I would just drop by in the interest of clarifying a few things. Let's start with the belt, because that seems to be one of the main interests on my look. Here we go...... This skirt is a Marc by Marc Jacobs skirt. This skirt came with a belt. Not a Studded belt, just a belt! The belt that you see! The same belt that was not listed as unknown on my original post. Hmmmm,,,,, Let's see what's next, oh yes, *Polished Punk*. That name was thought of by Fab Sugar. As far as I know, the members of the lookbook do not have a say in what Fab decides to name a particular LOTD. So, I'm sorry I can't really help you out with that. Let's see, oh yes. the big hoopla over the word *matronly*! I feel that I can take kiki t's word for it if she says that there was no was no malice intended. The truth of the matter is that I don't really recall ever even speaking one word with a Kiki t. So because of that I would just have to assume that a person that I don't even know would certainly have no reason to be attempting to insult me in any way. That's just logic 101. I don't see the comment that seems to have upset kiki t, so it really wouldn't be fair for me to comment on that. I have seen my friend *jezrel* referred to in this blog, and I can only assure you that she is the kind of a woman that one just automatically respects the moment that she speaks. Some people (albeit very few) just command that type of response from others. *jezrel* is one of those people! She lives an extraordinary life, and she works with the major fashion houses in London. If she misunderstood your intentions Kiki t, I know that she would be very upset indeed! Okay, in the interest of time and having a few more important things to be tending to, I would just like to say a couple more things. Number one, if by some chance, for some reason some members of this community have mistakingly concluded that my feelings would be hurt because of comments on a blog site that were written by people that I will never even meet, I assure you that would be incorrect. I personally choose not to risk offending anyone that adds his or her look to the lookbook. I have never been so over taken with emotion in regards to clothing that it prompted me to do something that would in my humble opinion serve no real purpose. With that being said ladies, I personally have way too much confidence to let something even like this unusually busy blog affect me in the least! So even though I can see that many of you might be concerned about that, thanks so much, but not a problem! Lastly, for those of you that may by chance be unaware of my age, I will happily and proudly tell you that I am 54 yrs old. I realize that some of you have visited my profile page on many occasions, and you are aware of that because my picture is right there for all to see. So when I read the comments in regards to this outfit being something that your "mother would wear if she wanted to look edgy", well that makes me very happy. Obviously your mothers have very lovely taste, and by you using the term*matronly* in such a positive way, that tells me that I am not only stylish, but also one that understands how to dress age appropriately. Thank you for that, and I also thank all of you for attempting to express your ideas about what fashion is to you. That is always something that I encourage everyone to do. I look so forward to seeing all of you in the Lookbook some time very soon! Well....... I hope that this has answered at least some of your questions! Have a wonderful evening ladies! Sandy xoxo

Matronly is not an offensive term. It simply just means mature or older. Its only offensive if you are looking for it to be offensive.

meh! the outfit doesn't do it for me. It's what my mom would wear if she wanted to look "edgy".

Maye, in case you weren't aware of the fact, today is quite an historic day, and not just because a "look of the day" post has generated fifty-plus comments ;) People have Obama avis today, not to make a point about their politics on a fashion thread, but to make a point about their politics on their profiles, which they are more than entitled to do. If you object to the fact that people's avis show up with every comment they make you should bring that up with team. You referring to people's avis is what brought politics into this particular discussion. I should also point out, since you seem to be confused about your whereabouts, that this thread is not happening on sandra werners look book. This look was selected to be look of the day on Fabsugar. I do not peruse people's look books, nor would I leave an unsolicited comment on one. I do, however, comment on most things that Fabsugar posts about and I didn't differentiate between this post and, say, a celeb style post... I saw something presented to me, the reader, as "a look" and I gave my opinion. I'm sorry to have offended the sensibilities of so many people, I wish I known there were so many sensitive souls lurking in the shadows of Fabsugar who just couldn't take the fact that someone may not not like a particular blouse with a particular skirt. Oddly enough none of you have ever come forward before to tell me I couldn't say that Whitney Port's dress was too short or Lauren Conrad's collection was too boring. Perhaps you should remember that this is a F-A-S-H-I-O-N site and not a pep rally.
