Favourite Outfits of 2012: Sarah’s Picks

Photo shoot – Marie Claire U.K. 

Sarah: I’ll admit, I’ve always had a soft spot for knee-high suede boots. And the fact that Jayne Pickering, Marie Claire U.K.’s fashion editor, decided to piece together a boho and vintage-inspired shoot that included a high heeled pair with leather lace-ups and cuffs just about had me swooning. Long dresses made of unconventional fabric like lookalike snakeskin leather, floral cotton and shiny lamé all while getting Taylor to hold one of her signature namesake acoustics. Loved it.

Award – 47th Academy of Country Music Awards

Sarah: This was one of the first instances on the red carpet that Taylor stepped away from the usual and the – dare I say it – boring choices she’s been known to make during awards show seasons. For a brief moment, gone were the prom-esque dresses, the fairytale tulle, the princess sparkles, the romantic trains. Instead, they were replaced by a modern cut-out sheath dress with just a hint of gold to keep her loyalty to glitter alive. I particularly loved her relaxed hair and the different take on the smoky eye she usually requests of her make-up artist Lorrie Turk.

Award – MTV Video Music Awards

Sarah: Talk about daring choices. This was the sweetest breath of fresh air I’ve experienced with Taylor on the red carpet during 2012. Something we’ve yet to see before. A stark, all-white tuxedo suit from Taylor Swift. Practically the queen of Sparkly Dresses. Of dresses, period. And she wears pants to an awards show, a phenomenon unheard of before. Blunt bangs, a straightened blow out, kohl-rimmed eyes and gladiator gold sandals finished the look off. Personally, I would have preferred a pair of Christian Louboutin Un Bout heels like the ones she wore to the Target Deluxe party, but I can hardly fault her for sneaking in a little bit of shine to an otherwise perfect outfit.

Candid – November 21

Sarah: This would be another one of those occasions where Taylor makes anything work for her. I love when she gets sort of quirky with her choices and mixes and matches fabrics and creates her own unique colour palette. In this case, she went with one of her favourite cable knit sweaters by Ralph Lauren in a robin eggshell to complement her eyes and tan Ralph Lauren jodphurs with leather knee patches to offset her blonde hair. A dark brown satchel and cranberry velvet loafers warm up the look and brings it all together.

Candid – November 27

Sarah: Arguably her most put-together candid outfit of the calendar year. Everything about this outfit represents staple pieces that should be in every girl’s closet. A solid pair of jeans, leather satchel, navy blazer, scoop-neck white tee and some brown leather oxfords. Easy, casual and completely on-point fashion wise.
