I recently visited the Legion of Honor - a fine Arts museum in San Francisco. I was very inspired by the art works and the French neoclassical building. Some of the figures in the 200- year-old art works I saw reminds me some of the current fashion trends. So I convinced Jen to help me put together some spring outfits inspired by some of the art I saw. Hope you guys enjoy them!

Theme: Sheer high-low
Picking the right dress was easy since there are so many beautiful navy dresses available. the hard part was integrating all the colors into the outfit. Thankfully the shoes made it easy and for colder days or more formal events you can throw on a blazer for good measure. -Jen
Dress: LOVE Navy Chiffon Cross Bust Maxi
Jacket: Co-ord Jacquard Blazer
Shoes: Jeffery Campbell Pizan Fab
Necklace: Enamel Locket Necklace
Purse: Straw M.A.C. Bombe
Bangles: Asos
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Theme: Puff Sleeve
I love that original outfit is full of cute and feminine elements: empire waist line, puff sleeves with lace and the color orange. To modernize this, I keep the puff sleeves but pair it with a clean silhouette with skinny jeans. Adding a pair of Toms to complete the urban hip style. -Xiang
Inspiration: The Misses Muriel and Consuelo Vanderbilt
Artist: Giovanni Boldini (Italian)
Year: 1913
Theme: Rompers and Knee High Socks
I have a thing for knee socks so I was excited to put together these outfits! Knee socks always look good with short shorts or mini skirts but a short romper can do it all. - Jen
What says Spring better than a romantic maxi and a fresh color palette? Mint is the buzz color on the Spring 2012 runway. A maxi is fine either you match it with heels or flats. Last but not the least, match your nails with some light but muted colors! -Xiang
