Lekker.

bump for kyle!

I love this one and I'm sure Kyle will nail it.

forgot to add, kyle, that there's only one person left on the list, and that is rosebudrmm! when rosebud is done she will challenge bella, and that will be the end of pool 1 of the challenge chain :) good luck!

OK, I accept the challenge. I need a couple of days to create and execute. Fun!

Thanks, Ana, for the fun challenge. You are a tough act to follow, that's for sure. Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton have a few things in common. They favor simplicity. Often they wear minimal jewelry. I note lots of drapey designs. Often times they wear androgynous styles, although Cate almost always adds a feminine touch, and she frequently wears satiny looking fabrics. And Tilda tends toward the severe.

1. This dress (Kenneth Cole) is very loose and drapey. I wore it with simple, high sandals (brown, Kohl's) and drop earrings.

2. This Adrienne Vittadini suit (I've had it for years) has a very long jacket, with a menswear grey pinstripe, but the blouse is silky, drapey, beaded and feminine, and the jacket has a girly flourish on the arms. Cate inspired this.

3. Not so sure about this one. Tilda wouldn't wear it. Cate might because sometimes she funks it up. The skirt is satiny and tiered, paired with pearls, an Old Navy tank, Gap jean jacket, and Target chunky super high platform sandals.

I am ON THE FLOOR. Oh Kyle, I have SOOOO missed your posts! I love, love, LOVE your style and flair and superb gams. *g*

1. That orange dress is so very Cate, Tilda AND you. So, so elegant and pretty, and the shoes are great.

2. It's funny that you said Cate inspired the suit look, because I got a big Tilda vibe from it. I wouldn't be surprised if the two women do influence each other!

3. I couldn't say if either would wear the third outfit, but I sure would! And you ROCK it!

Holy cow, Kyle! You look STELLAR! You definitely knocked it out of the park. The second suit look is so avant garde. The other ones are too, they are great modern/arty takes, AND they incorporate your own style too. I love the tiered skirt in the third outfit. I saw a skirt that was somewhat similar at J. Crew not too long ago, and now I wish I had picked it up.

Thanks for posting! :D

Wow, The challenge has gotten harder and Ana and Kyle have been stunning us with multiple outfits. I have missed your posts Kyle, you are soo inspiring. I love all the outfits but I must say my favorite is the first one, the color, the hair!! I love your hair and it is nice to see the beautiful blond!! You are a style master!

Kyle, this was amazing!! Oh, how I missed your posts!

The first dress is something both Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton would gladly wear, I think. And, of course, you look smashing in it. The suit seems to me very much Tilda Swinton, no? With its clear nod to masculine trend. Of course, you totally rock it. And the third ... this is my absolute favorite on you!! Totally smashing!!

OK, and I have to comment: you and Shiny have the same hairstyle now, and also what seems like the same hair color (at least in photos). It looks great!!

I just wanted to say that based on feedback I've seen on your outfits, in this and other posts, I envy your creativity and the innate style you seem to possess. In a million years, I never could have come up with an avant-garde outfit, and here you are with three!! Nice work!

(Michelle, you are utterly adorable. We are lucky to have your spirit on this forum).

KILLER Kyle does it again! The first two outfits are SPLENDID. So creative and gorgeous. But the third outfit launches me INTO ORBIT. I like it best because I see YOUR style come through the most in it. Very beautiful. Well done!

So you are feeling the love for the third outfit, which just goes to show that we don't have to spend a lot to be stylish. That was an eBay skirt (less than $15) an Old Navy tank and Gap jacket, Target sandals ($26) and "pearls." I'm sure the entire outfit is less than $100. I love that!

Well darling, you have to be Kyle to pull off a rara skirt :0) - and at $15 to boot. Very fab.

Kyle, I too have missed your posts. You always inspire. And you've done it again. That skirt outfit is incredible. Yes! I do also love the color of the first dress. I'm glad you took the challenge. You conquered it.

I love, love, love that first dress and shoes on you. I also am glad to see you back here and to see you blonde again.

Wow, all of your outfits are divine! I am swooning over that last skirt!!!

Kyle, I had to come back after the weekend so I could see how you answered this challenge. You look amazing! I love the edgy combination of styles in the last look too. (Also, your haircut is gorgeous.)

Kyle, you've come up with such stunning looks - you are such an inspiration!
