J Brand ‘Karle Leather Biker Jacket’ – $1795.00 (no longer available)
So I’m saying it now: This outfit is going to be in my Top Outfits of 2014.
I’ve talked about my love of circle skirts and my adoration for black on black on black clothing so it didn’t take a genius to point out that I could have styled this outfit for Taylor personally.
Part of me is yearning for a pop of red on her lips, but I’m still in awe of the simple — yet girly/edgy — chicness of this outfit. Perfection.

Taylor Swift Style – Prom Inspiration
With prom season right around the corner, a lot of you have been asking me for some prom inspiration. Rather than a simple ask response, I figured this deserved a post of its own.
Here are some styles exuded by the queen of sparkly and embellished dresses herself:
1. Short & Sweet
Taylor wears: Alice + Olivia / Elie Saab / Jovani / Naeem Khan
If you’re not the type of person to wear a full-length ballgown to prom, or maybe you’re an underclassmen attending prom with an older date and want to save a longer dress for your own senior prom then these short, sweet and sassy styles may be for you.
Short hemlines scream ‘fun’ and – take it from someone who’s been to prom – they’re so much easier to dance in. These styles are definitely for someone who just wants a lighthearted, relaxed night out. Bump up the carefree aspect of these shorter hemlines with quirky heels, bright accessories and an easy updo.
2. Grecian Gorgeous
Taylor wears: Elie Saab / J. Mendel / Maria Lucia Hohan / Emilio Pucci
This is the type of dress I wore to my own prom. Free-flowing, figure-flattering and softly elegant. The Grecian gown generally consists of an empire-waist (cinched near or closer to the bust) and a cascading chiffon skirt that floats over your lower torso. If you’re a pear-shape (like me!) with a smaller bust and a wider hip-thigh area and you want to highlight the smallest part of you and look sweetly feminine at the same time then a Grecian gown like these ones Taylor has worn in the past may be for you.
If soft whites/creams scream too bridal for you, go for a bolder colour like red for something equally as flattering but much vibrant and less saccharine. A simple headband or even a braided hairstyle would perfectly suit the minimalist nature of the Grecian gown.
3. Perfectly Princess
Taylor wears: Reem Acra / Reem Acra / Reem Acra / Marchesa
And for the classic prom look – the princess ballgown. If you want to forego the even more traditional prom look consisting of shiny heavy fabrics, taffeta and pickups then huge skirts and princess embellishments are the way to go.
Go all out with elaborate updos, jewelry and sparkly heels to complete the full princess look.
