This post is purely self-indulgent, an amalgamation of everything that catches my eye. I have a cleaner eye when it comes to Couture and RTW than Dain, but I don't think in terms of basics. My line of thought is if you're going to spend that much money on one item, it better be fucking fantastic and make you happy for a very, very, very long time.
My personal dressing philosophy, which I'm resolving to stick to this upcoming year, is to always look put together. The key to this, i think, is simply to not have any clothes in your closet that are blah-looking or don't make you feel good about yourself. It's so easy to get stuck in a rut. Get out of those jeans and put on some trousers with a heel. There's an instant difference and honestly, is it any harder to put on? The trick is to find great looking clothes that are comfortable for your basics. That way, you look great all the time. Have you ever bought something really nice and then just never wear it? That's a very common habit, actually. Pieces were meant to be worn. Worn carefully at times, but worn nonetheless. It's not going to be enhance your self-esteem by hanging in the closet.
Fall 2005 is more demure and lady like than some of the va-va-voom from Gucci's Tom Ford heyday (Fall 2001 comes to particular mind). Many of the pieces are quite good, but usually only one or two pieces from a collection are worth considering. I've broken things down into three categories: Basics, Classics, Frissons.
CLASSIC Fall 2005 RTW Lanvin Trenchcoat, $2,600 at Barney's
BASIC JCrew Women's Vintage Tissue V-neck Tee, $28 at JCrew.com
FRISSON Fall 2005 Christian Louboutin Velvet Platform Sandal with silk satin ribbon closure
