Wowee! That’s a lot of blue I’ve got going on there. But you know, what?

It’s the end! The third and final piece from my menswear mini-series, and it all revolves around this killer piece with built-in suspenders and a bow tie graphic from Scotch and Soda. I paired it with a short, flared skirt and bright red pumps for maximum femininity, and I grabbed my man’s fedora and trench for the outerwear. I call this look, “Urban P.I.”

I kept all the other pieces very feminine – pink shirt, flowy skirt/dress, sparkly earrings, hair down, bright lipstick – to offset how masculine a fully-buttoned and tied shirt looks to me.

One of my favorite places to go shopping when I’m on a budget is in my boyfriend’s closet – I love menswear looks on women. I think masculine pieces on the feminine form are so sexy and show that you have the confidence to compete with the guys. In fact, I think I’ll do a mini-series of menswear looks to inspire you!
