A little back story...we initially ordered completely different dresses. Since we knew these gowns would be fairly trashed after filming underwater for hours on end, we decided to order non-designer gowns from out of the country to take the beating. http://threadethic.com/2014/11/underwater-gowns-crater-midway-utah.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Thread Ethic)16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619742622635919290.post-735106316713639783Thu, 19 Dec 2013 22:23:00 +00002013-12-19T14:27:29.885-08:00DesiandMel Hello all and Merry Christmas next week! We took some inspiration from Jil Sander's fall 2012 collection with this outfit (Melody wore out to christmas concerts before it was too cold to take on bare legs). And here is Melody's time to write a little tribute to her husband's Grandma Bea.

This is an incredibly easy outfit to wear. This is the cable knit sweater Melody bought and you can easily pair with any wide leg trousers.

The casual look of the skirt makes it wearable for everyday. Throw on some flats and you're ready for running around in the heat. Although this is a skirt from seasons past at H&M, the trick to staying cool in the summer is by wearing a skirt that goes with almost everything.

This look is reminiscent of Zara's Look Book a couple of seasons ago that we absolutely adored. And yes, this is what happens when we're on tour - we can't pack a ton of shoes, so yes, you get the same pairs regularly (similar here).

Chanel Resort just showed and look at the lengths of the skirts here...yep yep...the mid-calf/knee length is oh so chic at the moment.

Here's an example from Jil Sander and another we've shown you from Celine. The actual look from the runways pair the more loose fitting sweaters with below the knee pencil skirts (which we will for SURE do).
