You know what? While in school, I hated geometry (math as a whole, really). I never really understood why people ever felt the need to study shapes (geometric is really the study of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, solids...just to be specific).
It only took me 20+ years to realize that shapes are great- fascinating, bright and lovely on clothes! I feel like a 3 year old discovering cotton candy- I'm happy and drooling all at once.
Anyway, after seeing so many runway shows for Fall 2012, I've been inspired to revisit geometric patterns and colors. Now that winter will be over in a matter of days (DAAAAYYYYS!), color color color is what I'm craving. Here are a few items that have really caught my eye. Obsess, and even Own, if you dare.
Obsess: Marni Clutch- I've been looking for a new clutch! this one is so cute and has some great colors to pair with fun spring dresses (namely that lovely teal-y mint color)
Own: Asos Geomtric Suit - If you saw the Derek Lam Fall 2012 show, then I hope you were as inspired by the patterned suits as I was! I loved them and I think that this combo from Asos does a good job of giving off that same vibe.
Obsess: Ohne Titel Dress- While this dress feels a little more like a colorblocking situation, it's still feeling very geometric to me. Can't ever go wrong with the simplest of colors either.
Own if you dare! But Obsess if you don't: Rag and Bone Alexis Top- I love this top. I love it with jeans. I would love it tucked into a high waisted jean worn with a pair of nude wedges. Clearly, I have plans for this top. Maybe I should own it??
What are your thoughts on the geometric shapes and colors? Are you as awed as I am? This might not be for most of you out there, but give it time...maybe it will grown on your like it did for me :)
