Critically Kind takes on Taylor's fashion
“All Too Well” | 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards | January 26, 2014
Alberta Ferretti Pre-Fall 2013
Worn with: Arika Nerguiz heels
I’m not exaggerating when I say that my hands are shaking as I type this up.
I have every bit of respect to Taylor for doing this for us – her fans. This moment was purely just for us and I loved every minute of it. I hope we all remember and cherish this gown as one of the most momentous occasions in Taylor’s career.

Gucci Première gown
Worn with: Jimmy Choo sandals and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry

Chainmail, it was. Edgy, it was not. Taylor wore none of my original predictions nor my redacted prediction I originally posted for the Golden Globes. Instead, she selected this silver, sparkling Gucci gown.
As Taylor has never worn Gucci before I have to applaud her for wearing a new designer, particularly one with as much clout as Gucci. She looks so incredibly statuesque and – dare I say it – exudes a Nicole Kidman height of elegance and maturity. I’m slightly disappointed about the glitter factor as Taylor is universally known for her love of sparkly dresses but I’m pleased that she put her hair up in a ponytail so as not to compete with the neckline. She looks stunning – but no more so than she usually does.
Her beauty styling was perfect – including silver smokey eyes and a pretty pink lip. I’m also in love with her square-drop earrings and that she didn’t opt for anything other than a pair of rings. No other jewelry was required.

Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party | Los Angeles, CA | January 25, 2014
Zuhair Murad Resort 2013
Worn with: Bionda Castana heels and Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira jewelry
If you needed a casual reminder that Taylor Swift does – in fact – have legs that could go for days then you’re clearly not paying attention.
Legs aside, I unfortunately have to admit that the model wears the dress to far more sophisticated results than Taylor. As interesting as her Bionda platforms are, the strappy and undeniably sexy sandals from the lookbook are far more intriguing.
However, it’s that cinched bow belt that I’m really missing here. Especially if you consider the bow from those aforementioned ankle-tie heels that would match it perfectly. That, and the fact that I can’t quite get over the weird flounced skirt on either Taylor or the model.
Had this been one of Taylor’s body-con dresses like the floral Zuhair Murad dress she wore to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show or a mini fit-and-flare I would be more behind it. As is, I’m more focused on her amazing legs here and for the gown she’s due to wear tomorrow night at the awards ceremony.
What did you think of the dress, TSS-ers?

Taylor Swift Style – Reformation candid predictions
French Connection, ModCloth, Anthropologie and Free People. What do these brands have in common? Taylor Swift went through phases for each of these stores where she near-exclusively wore pieces from them. Now, she’s turned to vintage-inspired and eco-friendly recycling brand Reformation. So far, we’ve seen Taylor wear skirts (x, x) and dresses (x, x) from the brand.
Here’s a few of my predictions.

What do you think TSS-ers? Are there any other Reformation items you could see Taylor in? Or has her love for the brand already been transferred somewhere else?

Leaving Bouchon Restaurant with Jaime King | Beverly Hills, CA | January 20, 2014
Reformation ‘Jam Dress’ – $218.00
Taylor was out and about in L.A. with her new friend actress Jaime King
(they met and partied together after the Golden Globes last week)
looking extremely ladylike and vintage in this Reformation white-trim
dress.
I’m on the fence with the overload of black in this look so
points to Taylor for putting a pop of colour into her outfit via a swipe
of bright lipstick. The lace trim and fit-and-flare silhouette offer a
very retro vibe familiar to both Taylor and the brand so I’m happy she
found a clothing store that perfectly caters to her. Am I the only one
getting simultaneous Old Hollywood/First Lady/Funeral vibes from this
dress?
Worn with: Ray-Ban Wayfarers and Dolce & Gabbana bag
Also worn: Saturday Night Live after party and via Instagram
