realliferunway in Spring 2010 Looks

Worried that wearing black and blue together will leave you battered and bruised by the fashion po-po?  Fashion laws are made to be broken and really, are there any rules in fashion anymore?  No white after Labour Day?  I love winter white.  No short skirts after 30?  Have you seen my legs?  I'm showing these off until I'm at least 70.  Hee!  Crocs to work?  Okay, fine, wearing crocs anywhere should absolutely be outlawed.  In the case of this killer look from Dries Van Noten, black and blue is quite obviously a fashion 'do' when done right.  I love the surprising contrast between the two shades and think they make a perfect segway between the seasons of snow-tires and snow-cones.  Real Life Runway Tip:  The best way to get the most out of this colour combo is by ensuring that the black is jet and the blue is vibrant.  A dull blue will take all of the oomph out of this fashion upper-cut.  Want to look even more stunning?  Go for blackest black mascara (Maybelline Great Lash Mascara has a perfect budget-friendly version) and smudgy black eyeliner to complete your look.
