On the Run: Miranda Kerr – Not so much a style crush as a style inspiration

I’m not really one for having crushes on anyone, whether it be of a style nature or any other nature – that is excluding Gary Lineker and Gary Barlow of course – but those “crushes” have existed for far too long to be classed as crushes in any event!

There are celebs/A-listers who I think rarely put a fashion foot wrong – Diane Kruger and Solange Knowles to name but two but on the whole, a lot of celebrities just irritate me.

When I saw this picture of Miranda Kerr last week, her dress reminded me very much of a dress that I have had sitting in my wardrobe for quite some time, and it gave me the impetus to dig it out.  Not so much a style crush as a kick up the bum to get something different on (weather permitting)!

                                                     

Now clearly I don’t have Miranda’s figure on my side, nor the Balenciaga shoes to go with the dress, nor indeed the big burly bodyguard (I would make a joke here about not needing a body guard as no-one would want to steal our children but that would be in bad taste).  However, as far as the dress being similar goes, I think Oasis was way ahead of the game, all those years ago! What do you reckon?

Bet she can’t chuck her dress in the wash when her little munchkin wipes his dirty mitts all over it. But then again I don’t suppose dry cleaning bills are much of an issue for her.

Dress Oasis – over half a decade old now
Shoes by Jigsaw – ditto
Owner – starting the slow but steady creep into her fifth decade tomorrow!

    The very heart of your writing while sounding reasonable originally, did not settle perfectly with me personally after some time.Somewhere within the sentences you were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a while.I however have got a problem with your jumps in logic and one would do well to fill in all those breaks. In the event you can accomplish that, I could definitely end up being impressed.Here is my blog post … starcraftuniverse.org

    In this awesome scheme of things you secure a B- for effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually lost us was on the details. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be much more true in this article. Having said that, allow me inform you precisely what did give good results. Your text is definitely highly persuasive and that is probably why I am taking an effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, even though I can certainly see the leaps in reasoning you make, I am not really convinced of just how you seem to connect your details which inturn help to make your conclusion. For now I will, no doubt yield to your position but hope in the foreseeable future you actually link your facts much better.My webpage : http://linguistics.wikkii.com/w/index.php?title=User:LenitaWebb79
