Viviana Volpicella Vs. J.J. Martin: A Fashion Face-off

JJ: The Chanel tweed suit is one of vintage fashion’s greatest treasures. This one in particular is special because it also includes a crinkled pink silk blouse that buttons down the back, which I find to be a really nice little addition. You get three pieces which you can wear a million different ways.

VV:  The Chanel jacket is an evergreen. I love to see it with super skinny jeans because the proportion of the jacket is a bit boxy.  This is how I dress every day for real life.  This outfit is totally me.

JJ: I saw how long it took you to yank those tight-ass black jeans on. I can’t believe you go through that torture every day. But I like the overall effect.

VV: I haven’t taken my jeans to the tailor yet, and I HATE long skinny jeans… so I rolled mine.  There is nothing more sexy than an ankle, so don’t cover it.

JJ: I hate jeans so I picked the skirt. It’s the perfect thing to mix up with other prints and patterns. The colors are gorgeous.  I paired it with a green brocade shirt-jacket from Prada.  And then I added a high heel. With this type of above-the-knee pencil skirt you need a killer heel, otherwise you can look like a librarian.

VV:  Totally. And we hate librarians.

JJ: Unless they’re crazy ones who wear Chanel. In which case we love them.
