Christian Lacroix Fall 2009 Ready to Wear

I've never covered a fashion show here before. I've never actually know or cared that much about designer clothes. I've always been happy with what I see on other fashion blogs and find the outfits I see on other bloggers much more inspiring, since they are shown on people who aren't necessarily a size zero. I was idly flipping through Style.com, and found the Christian Lacroix Ready To Wear Collection for fall 2009. Love at first sight!

I adore this outfit. The shimmery tights, the amazing navy blue bodice, the wonderful pleats on the skirt...

I love, once again,  the combination of navy and black. I also like the heavily padded shoulders, what I find to be a somewhat strong, self assured jacket, with a pretty feminine skirt. 

What isn't to like about a fitted, yet flared sliver pantsuit?

I adore the drape-y, mustard yellow top. I'm not so wild about the pants. I think that this would have worked better with a fitted skirt, maybe just a bit above the knee. 

Once again,what not to love. I adore the coloured blouse, with a bow non the less, peeping out of the black suit. I feel it could be a bit more tailored, but I still love it.

Delicious, no? I find it vaguely school marm-y, buy still infinitely sexy.

I'm not entirely sure what I find so appealing about this. maybe it's the fact that a shapeless bag of a dress is so amazingly suggestive.

And last but not least, a wonderful, double breasted, bubble hemmed coat/dress.
