Strict, streamlined visions of 90's Clavin Klein ads are what come to mind when I think of  simplistic fashion. Call it an ode to the understated elegance, but this trend is back, and in full swing. I am fully embracing these sculptural designs that have been popping up in department. Mixed with subtle contrasting textures, these pieces can stand on their own. 

There is just something so carefree about this style that has me gravitating towards even the most relaxed and simplistic outfits (I've gone Pin-crazy). Recently, it took more than a little will power to pry myself away from investing in a chic pair of pointed oxfords. The shiny leather and cross-over strap were mere perfection! And although my love-affair with them is still withstanding buyers remorse, I have put myself on the hunt for an affordable alternative!
