I’m really into lady-like looks at the moment. Here are some of my inspirations for this feminine but strong look:
A full circle skirt and a fitting pencil skirt are classic staples that look flattering on any girl!
From Left to Right: Talbots Spring 2011, Celine Spring 2011, Sonia Rykiel Fall 2011
Two of my favorite lady-like looks from Miranda Kerr and Alexa Chung.
1. Tower Cropped Cardigan $75.00 (Allsaints.com) 2. Sustainable High Waist Skirt $78.00 (Fashion-conscience.com) 3. Aurelie Bidermann Necklace (price N/A) 3. Inge Christopher Beaded Nairobi Envelope Clutch in Zebra $110.00 (Couturecandy.com) 4.Christian Louboutin Medium Trophe Shoulder Bag $1350.00 (Barneys.com) 5. Embroidered Frequencies Plateforms $588.00 (Anthropologie.com)
1.Pringle of Scotland / T Jones Vest $695.00 (Lagarconne.com) 2. Blue Silk Button Down Midi Skirt By Boutique $120.00 (Topshop) 3.Tillie Chestnut Brown Soft Matte Leather Bag $1270.00 (Vanmildert.com) 4.Dinosaur Bones Cuff, Gold $450.00 (charmandchain.com) 4. Calvin Klein Alex Sandal $159.00 (Nordstrom)
For me, a lady is someone who is well-spoken, polite, classy, confident and thoughtful.

You always discover the best inspiration! I think this is so pretty. I used to love pencil skirts. I hardly see them anymore so it’s refreshing to see it here. LOVE Alexa Chungs look, so delicate. I am obsessed with cardigans so I love seeing them being represented here and there. I’m in love with that gold necklace it is so unique. Great post!
I always loved that Parisian chic and classy look, you can’t go wrong with it!
What the lady to the left is wearing in the frist pic is sooo my style- Love the entire look.
I like your definition of a lady! I totally agree!
My favourite style for women.
Opinion of a (straight but artistic) guy 🙂
PS I love those CK sandals combined with that long blue skirt!!!
xoxoxo
Hmm I believe a lady is well rounded in her intelligence, confident, classy, and sticks up for her beliefs. I love this post! I love the ladylike look because it’s just so clean and simple!
thank you for your lovely comment!!!:)
yes, i’m looking forward to the summer!

oh Miranda Kerr looks so beautiful!! and I love the bag in the second outfit you put together.

xxxx
I loved all the outfits and all the choices, that smell of spring:) This last image is beautiful. kisses
Beautiful inspiration!

oh i love these looks, I’m going crazy for midi length skirts at the minute…so much more flattering. Miranda Kerr looks so elegant and the topshop blue skirt is just beautiful! something to save my pennies for! xox
I totally love this post …miranda and Alexa are just so chic ! I love it! Great post…have a Great day !
completely in love with Miranda’s look! i may try to emulate that one myself : )

can i just say i’d give anything to look like miranda kerr??
Miranda Kerr very nice!!!
the last photo is the bestt !
it’s soo chic !
A look I can’t get enough of. Miranda Kerr’s skirt is gorgeous, love the texture and the high waist, so classy. And what I am desperately looking for is a knee-long pleated skirt. I find only floor-legth pleated skirts, which I like, but they are just not my style. Ada
whoa alexa looks so gorgeously neat in white pleats skirt!

The Céline skirt is my fav and I do love, completely, the Louboutin bag and that shows….amazing!

I love all these looks! I’ve always been into femme dressing, but lately I almost want over-the-top retro silhouettes all the time. Great post as usual love!

Love that last pic of dresses! I’m really obsessed with that color palette – champagne, ivory, mocha… My personal style is really feminine too and I love the idea of dressing like a “lady” 🙂
A lady is a woman who know how to behave. Lovely all pics
Thank you for sharing your inspiration, I’m definitely going to showcase the “lady-like” trend this S/S!! A pleated skirt “AKA Alexa Chung’s outfit” is first on my hit-list!

Gorgeous looks!
Totally loving this post, especially those platforms from Anthropologie!
xoxox,

what a wonderful collection of photos, i very much like the ladylike trend as well- especially maxi pleated skirts. i think im gonna go looking for a pleated skirt this weekend.
I hope you feel better dear, you deserve to be happy, and i hope you do feel that before the weekend starts. I haven’t had the time or energy to work out recently. but i walk to work every morning(if it’s not raining) and that takes 35 minutes.. so i think it’s at least something since i walk at a fast pace
take care dear

I also love the ladylike look!
I prefer Alexa Chung than Miranda Kerr, I think her look has more personality 😉
Kisses!

My definition of a lady?
She must have the complete opposite personality of me.
Bahaha. I kid.
I think a true, contemporary, modern women/lady would have a strong personality.

I totally agree with your definition! I love this trend too, it’s so powerful!
Really loved the blue skirt you suggested!!! <3

My definition of a lady would include all the above plus respectful.
love it! feminine but strong indeed! I feel like a classy bun always exudes confidence.
Cheers,

Adore this look as well! Very timeless, elegant and chic, but the looks you posted also have a modern twist. I’m in love with Miranda Kerr and Alexa Chung’s take on this. And I need that Dinosaur Bone Cuff!
I LOVE those full skirts – especially the yellow one. Perfect for Spring. Also love the CK heels, may have to go check those out!!

to your impressive list of ladylike traits of “someone who is well-spoken, polite, classy, confident and thoughtful,” i would only add, one other.
that being, “embodying a wonderfully, beautiful loving spirit.” wherein, she has a wide array and range of lovely/loving (WHATSOEVER, the situation might call for…) emotions to unfold (alike some beautiful, budding, blooming rose!), while the world is awesomely “wowed!”, & in wonderment beholds!!! 🙂
and, there’s really, truly, NO DOUBT, in my mind, Shin — that the reason there’s no such mention on your list — with you, there’s this naturally, inate embodiment of such “loving spirit,” jus’ as natural to you, dear lady, as “merely breathing.” 😀
So, here’s to you giving this world such a wondrous, marvelous, fabulous exemplar, lovely lady, as evidenced in part by your amazing blog!!! 🙂 xoxoxo
Miranda Kerr is a great inspiration!!!

I’ve always leaned towards classy, feminine, and ladylike pieces. 🙂 They’re just so lovely, and they fit my personality well. Your picks are beautiful!

i love, love black and blue together…i do that convo at work really often. seems more fun and modern than all black, or black and a neutral, right?
I love this! I love dressing up all lady-like 🙂 Fave outfit is Miranda Kerr’s!
I think I’m a lady in the city and sometime a little punk
i love the last photo!
You said it perfectly!! Musicals really do make love seem so romantic as it should be. That should be exploited more than sex. : )
I love the Lady in the City look! That cardigan and shoes are so fun and funky! :o)
I love the ladylike look too, been on the lookout for a really full skirt!
Thanks for visiting my blog! :o)

I think a fully skirt looks so amazing. Too bad I’m too short to EVER wear anything like that. 🙁
Great post, the photos are all lovely. 🙂
Xx
My definition of a lady is probably the opposite of me 😛 someone who carries themselves graciously, who’s perfected their look to a tee, and who can be delightfully witty at the drop of a hat. Yeah…definitely not me! x
thank you for the comment on my blog! WOW your blog is really amazing, im for sure following you now! You have an amazing sense of style! 🙂

I’ve been wearing skirts a lot lately! Love all these pictures that you posted – so feminine and gorgeous.

The most i love Miranda Kerr in her feminine look. Sophisticated but still sweet.
I never look good in long skirts but the style is still adorable.
xoxo
Love this kind of skirt, the only problem is i’m not to tall! 🙂

Ah, Talbots had a nice spring collection too! Yes, this label is certainly improving. And it caters wonderfully to the lady! My definition is pretty much the same as yours, and it’s something I definitely aspire to be. Loving the whole lady look with the full skirts. Loved it ever since LV brought it out for Fall 2011!

Oh! femines looks! those are my favouries, I would love to wear skirts and soft cardigans every day 🙂
See you sweetie!
Beautiful. I do love being a girl 😀

Hey Shin, I wish I could post you some pie! 🙂 I LOVE the orange skirt you picked…fab!
A lady for me is strong, has a quiet confident & is true to herself, respectful of others, & of course has her own sense of style. I hope you have a great weekend x
I like this looks! classy but with strong personality 🙂

I love the pictures 🙂
For me, a lady is someone who is well-mannered, interesting and dresses nice 🙂
Love your blog, following 😉
Doesn’t Miranda look lovely in that pencil skirt? Love reading the previous post on couples too
Love it all! Have a nice day!
Great inspiration!
Love what Miranda Kerr is wearing and your black and blue outfit. Your definition is pretty fair of a lady, she can be anybody as demure as Carey Mulligan, distinguished as Judi Dench, beautiful as Freida Pinto.

I this classy is the epitome of ladylike. I love the traditional ladylike look because it is sexy and sophisticated without being overly scandalous. Gorgeous looks here sweetheart!
Thank you! I’m going there with school, so no cute boys for me! 😉 I love these photos by the way!
