Inspiration at Dolce & Gabbana SS209
Dolce & Gabbana threw Milan a slumber party with looks influenced by classic men's silk pajamas. I love the contrast trim and patterns, but the Mickey Mouse-shouldered jackets are for a woman bolder than me. The colors are more suited for winter in rich shades of red, navy, black and cream, but I prefer this to a tropical cabana. The masculine looks juxtaposed with large 3d flowers on several dresses and coats; bows on the hair, belt, shoes, and neck; sequins on most of the shoes; and fistfuls of jewelry.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii-ryjfPK_nx0AEu7VMX1VfEZ4ETCL0olQtmjXFjeM3PNabYW3kVaqEaE7YNHhaGHlfYeBbuxZ4sai5euZVWn0yZ6RJyTgYbr3-pChgDJISkbUZVKpHgz_G0TEnhjaAf5W60qFCerJWJD3/s400/dolce+%26+gabbana+pajamas+runway+2009.jpeg)
The detail shots are especially inspiring. I have a tendency to tie ribbon around my neck willy-nilly anyway, and I have to find out how they made these ties. Also, brightening up a look with brooches is a cheap breeze if you head to Goodwill or raid you mother's jewelry box. Grab a handful of pins in the same color family and cluster them on your bag, on a scarf in your hair, on your belt or on your shirt. You can pin them on top of ribbon bows too just like in these runway photos.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAx_MCHA54PlR9FuN0Kcab7MbsPnx9Uu0V0r6exueOUtF1of154Z2ugKy2TFFvQ_h9QjXAoornzM6b67LN6nYgxCWEZWNhvcB4x_vX-KtNmzJRO86Qmxhwf3y-PwfaIxqXWgJn_auHUStK/s400/dolce+%26+gabbana+bow+ties+ss09.jpeg)
