If you've got a not-so-boyish, boyish figure, these will work well; however, if you're seriously curvy in the thighs, hips and booty, I would shy away.

You've seen them come in and out of fashion for several years and may not even have known that they were called a 'tulip skirt', but when you think about it, they resemble an upside down tulip flower. This Marc by Marc Jacobs brightest coral honeycomb jacquard button skirt is an easy-to-wear solution to this surfacing trend; feel free to pair it up with a denim jacket and canvas wedges.

Everyday I feel the need to put together an amazing outfit: one that hits on at least one important trend, but is interpreted my own way.

Usually, I enjoy rising to this daily challenge, but recently I've been feeling bored. I think it's 'cause I'm bored with my closet -- too much to choose from, yet nothing to wear... I didn't want to be negative or spend cash on additional clutter, so I came up with an idea to revitalize my inner fashionista and remind myself of what an amazing collection of pieces I've amassed.

So...I decided to pick one item from my closet and wear it for the entire week. It's not a new concept, but I wanted to make it personal and see if it was something an actual person, i.e., not an editor, could do and enjoy. Here goes...

Week 1: Sequin Jacket

One thing you should know about me - I LOVE anything sparkly, so the sparkly, sequin, 'nightclub-in-the daytime' trend has been a dream come true!

Here's how I wore my sequin jacket last week:

Monday:

I missed the weekend (Translation: I was not ready to go back to work), so I kept my look casual and playful. I paired my jacket with a cropped sweater, satin shorts by Johnson, opaque tights, studded Gucci booties, and a chunky necklace.

Tuesday:

Still didn't have much energy for anything super creative, so I went to my one of my fail-proofs - the all-black outfit. :-) The sequin jacket is worn with a Wyatt tie-dye boyfriend tunic, snakeskin leggings by Plan B, Dior tall boots, Kashmere leopard scarf, and long chain pendant necklace.

Wednesday:

Finally, some inspiration! I went for an 'editor-inspired' look and paired the jacket with a silk coral top, high waist skirt, satin opaque tights, YSL black patent sandals, and Isharya black horn pendant necklace.

Thursday:

Mindy_Y_Sequins_blazer_jacket_YSL_black_patent_sandals_Bluefly_blog_FlyPaper-4-crop.JPGAnother thing I love are prints and especially animal prints - I decided to max out by putting a leopard print dress under the sequin jacket along with my black horn pendant necklace (which is also crystal embellished!). I completed the look with tights and YSL sandals.

Friday:

Mindy_Y_sequins_blazer_jacket_AG_jeans_Marc_by_Marc_booties_Bluefly_blog_FlyPaper-5-crop.JPGI wanted to end the week off strong, so I went a totally different direction with this bohemian-chic outfit. I also wanted to test denim on denim, which I think will be big this spring. The sequin jacket is paired with a denim zip top, AG jeans, gold Marc by Marc booties, necklace, and scarf.

I have to say that I really enjoyed my first week of 1x5 and am looking forward to next week's piece: Harem pants! I'm also taking requests for each week's pieces so if you have any, please leave a comment here.

However, the denim jacket is a wardrobe staple for many us and almost feels like you must have an updated one every few years.

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:00:00 -0500 Project Runway Recap: Gotta Have Heart Jay_Red_Dress_Campbell_Soup_Project_Runway_Bluefly_blog_FlyPaper.jpg

Aww... Last night's show had so much heart! In partnership with the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign and AdDRESS Your Heart with Campbell's Soup, the designers were challenged to create a look for the real women. Each woman had been affected by heart disease in some way, so there were a lot of tears from pretty much every designer -- but, strangely enough, not Janeane who has been our resident weeper...

Jesus_Red_Dress_Campbell_Soup_back_of_dress_Project_Runway_Bluefly_blog_FlyPaper.jpgJesus_Red_Dress_Campbell_Soup_Project_Runway_Bluefly_blog_FlyPaper.jpg

In addition to the heart and tears, there was also a whole lotta tacky on the runway. Michael, Nina, Heidi and even guest judge and Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman took turns ripping Jesus' look to shreds! "You basically took a checklist of everything that can turn tacky and turned it into that garment," Michael told him. Not surprisingly Jesus got the boot, but of course he was surprised when Heidi gave him the double kiss. Really Jesus? Really? Haven't we been in the bottom 3 in in the last 3 episodes?

Project_Runway_Season_7_Heart_Red_Dress_Challenge_Amy_wins_Bluefly_blog_FlyPaper-2.jpg

What was surprising to me was how shocked the designers were that 'regular' women aren't models and harder to fit -- go figure!! I love that Anthony celebrated his full figure model. Anyhoo, what I wasn't surprised about was Amy's challenge win. She totally deserved it.
