asos final – a man’s world

by Karen Blanchard
21 February 2011
Enjoy the vid – you need sound 😉

Harem trousers, belt, boots, shirt, watch: ASOS. Hat: Fab 208 NY (now on sale via ASOS Marketplace)

***
Well – this is it. The ASOS Stylist final is here and this is my last outfit for it.
The ASOS brief? Wear head to toe ASOS and style it all around 1 item in my wardrobe that I will donate for sale on the ASOS market place site. I decided to style around my leopard print hat (don’t worry, I have another leo hat I found and pick up soon LOL!!!!).
Colour wise I went with grey and browns. I like the idea of mixing cool and warm colours (esp grey and gold).
Thank you EVERYONE who has got me this far by voting. I am only in this Final because of you and I’m VERY aware of that. As you know I’m up against a huge blogger (with over 15,000 facebook likes – um hello?) so statistically I’ll probably lose this (unless everyone who reads this votes).
***
Even though it’s harder for me to win, I’m not bloody well going down without a fight and getting this far is an achievement in itself – regardless of the results next week. You readers have shown me that.
***
How to help me win the Final next week:
***
Vote under my name on the ASOS facebook HERE. The person with the most votes – wins!!! (plus if you vote, you are automatically in with a chance to win $400 shopping spree).
***
Thanks guys and thank you ASOS for choosing me to be a part of this super fun project.

    Killing. it. K for the win!

    (No matter what happens: whether you win or whether you lose – you have won just by taking part and displaying your incredible style and amazingly good grace).

    Luck! And loving the whole damn outfit. The bound hair and rings especially. Attention to detail, ftw.

    I have a hat just like that . . . wear it all the time. But I got mine at The Hat Shop on Thompson street in Soho.

    I’m really rooting for you! I wish you the best of luck, but you won’t win because of pure luck; That’s quite a fabulous outfit you’ve got there.

    Voted for you. I actually think as a stylist you are by far the superior, so you’re definitely the winner in my eyes.

    Karen, you’re the best – yet again! You’re tons better than Ulrikke, and this is coming from a Norwegian.

  30. Anushka says:

    I voted for you, Karen! 🙂 You SO deserve to win!

  32. Amanda says:

    You really should win. You’re the much better stylist.

  33. Louise says:

    LOVE the whole look. Have voted for you and am going to make sure all my family and friends do too! You SO deserve to win. Comparing your look with the other girls (I keep forgetting her name lol) your’s is so much fresher and to me her look is just what I see in so many magazines and on so many “starlets” at the moment that it is a bit tired. On the other hand what you are wearing inspires me to change things up and be more creative and daring with my choices. Wishing you the very BEST and praying hard that you win – if anyone deserves it it’s you! xxxxx

    Karen, voted for you and wish you best of luck! The way I stumbled upon your blog was serendipity at it’s best, and that’s how the most good things happen, right?
    I’m in a totally different field (real estate), but I love fashion, and I always lived by “do what you love” rule, so not only your outfits, but the way you blog and do it all are very inspirational to me. I’m working on my blog (and real estate is what *I* love), and need to learn from your consistency in blogging as well 🙂

    You deserve to win more than anybody

    Thanks EVERYONE OF YOU for your support. I have to say, this isn’t a typical look for me. It’s very different to how I normally dress but what the heck.
