.) The collection had some pretty spectacular pleated knit skirts and tops, but what grabbed my attention like a kid grabbing a snow globe—greedy and jerking up and down with deranged excitement—was the Blanket Skirt. It is whipstitched, soft, and exceedingly long, which is very meaningful in this economy, when the length presented on the runway is often whittled away by the time something hits the stores.
Also terrific: the color. The tone of the skirt is like if you were holding a very important and rare dove in your hand, and the two of you were really vibing, and it rolled over to show you its belly in affection. It’s vulnerable-dove-belly-gray. For the record, Lauren Manoogian calls the color “Aspen,” which also works just swell for me, because you could really rock this in a “just took a private jet to my ski lodge” way.
Not long after, I wore it to the office in a more subdued style with that same crewneck, this time showing off a little more pointedly that the sweater has this awesome and absurd extra sleeve at the neck that wraps around to create an elegant little tube—like your own knit is hugging you—and a pair of very beautiful beige over-the-knee boots I got last year from J.Crew.
I used to fear beige dressing—mostly because it used to bore me, and nothing is more terrifying than boredom!—but Lauren Manoogian’s knits, and especially this skirt, have convinced me that beige dressing is just as much a power move as wearing every color I own at once. I’ve worn this bad boysince I got it back in October, because it is so sumptuous, and I find I can pull it on and swaddle myself in an assemblage of neutrals and look.
