Oh, knotted shirts! Where do I begin? You bring me back to Christina Ricci duck tapping her boobs in Now and Then and Kurt Cobain being a hot mess before hot mess was even a term. You're basically all sorts of edgy do-it-yourself fun and I don't even have to wait for retailers to stock up on you because you can be easily created with any button down and two hands. Actually you can even use any loose t-shirt for this look (take a looksie below). How rad can you get? I should have seen this one coming with all the cropped turtlenecks and plaid flocking the streets these days.

What I really like about this look is the updated high waisted take on it celebs like Annalynne McCord and Kiera Knightley are trying. It's some sort of mutt mix of 70s and 90s. Radness my friends. Radness.

Fashion Inspiration: Kirsten Dunst in Miu Miu

Although I tend to err on the more conservative side of fashion myself, I truly appreciate it when others take risks. Case in point: Kirsten Dunst in a provocative yet child-like Miu Miu Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear frock. I cannot think of anyone better to pull off such a look than the former Miu Miu campaign model. She is quirky, eccentric, bold, and embodies the contradictive sexy-yet-innocent motif that Miuccia Prada's spring collection carried (note the red swallow print juxtaposed with sexy ladies along the torso).



While Kirsten styles the dress with subtle black accessories allowing it to retain focus, I probably would have worn Mary Jane pumps to exaggerate the school girl influence this look denotes or even carried a lunch box inspired purse. Kirsten, however, puts a lot less into her look than most girls would with a $2,400 dress. After all effortless chic is Kirsten's niche in the celebrity fashion world and it appears to work well for her.

Below are some other looks from the collection that I wouldn't mind walking the streets of New York in. You can also view a video of the full collection here.
