MySpace Muses: November
Whether it’s in the way they wear the latest shapes (like carrot trousers), create fresh pairings for trendy pieces (liquid leggings with a modest sweater dress), or elevate simple outfits through expert accessorizing (a nude scarf and boots with black and gray basics), we’re always impressed anew by our MySpace Muses. On that note, we’re particularly proud of today’s international bunch—they hail from everywhere from Indonesia to Paris—and think they’re one of our finest roundups yet!
We’ll start on a slightly tough note, courtesy of Dana (top row, far left), who added a little edge to her unfussy outfit via a long-strap across-body bag and a pair of black combat boots. One of the best budget versions of her bag is the Jordin Mini Handbag ($15.80), and, since you skimped on the purse, perhaps you can invest in an amazing pair of Mike & Chris Lace-Up Leather Boots
($517) to complete the look! Next, our favorite muse of the month, Betty (top row, center), shows us the power of unexpected accessory choices. Instead of doing the traditional fall colors, she added a nude pair of slouchy boots and similarly hued scarf to her outfit of skinny black jeans and an oversized gray sweater. It’s a little quirky and totally cool, which is just the sort of style that’s always on our radar. Look to Report Signature’s Howell Bootie
($300) for the same sort of relaxed style boot and VPL’s Swivel Knit Scarf
($265) as an excellent cozy scarf substitute. As we all know, leggings are still going strong, but that doesn’t mean you have to wear them in a boring way. Follow in Martha’s (top row, far right) footsteps and try some zany print pants, like American Apparel’s Afrika Printed Cotton Leggings ($34), Urban Outfitters’ Sublimated Leggings ($44), or Made Me’s Horse Rider Leggings ($102). Just be sure to keep the rest of your outfit basic and accessorize with cute solid pieces, like Gap’s Sweater Knit Beanie
($16.50).
How could you not admire the wearable way Ivelina (bottom row, far left) styled her carrot trousers (or banana pants, choose your produce reference) with an off-the-shoulder tee and handful of delicate chain necklaces? She’s referencing both YSL and Givenchy’s fall collections in a subtle way and we love the result. Achieve a similar look with either 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Cropped Tapered Pants
($350) or Topshop’s Flannel Carrot Leg Trousers ($80), plus Forever 21’s Hybrid Mod Necklace ($4.80) for a little metallic glimmer. Another stand out look comes from Heidi (bottom row, middle), who dressed up a slouchy oversized tee with two slightly more formal pieces: a mid-length skirt and a structured bag. If you like her ladylike tote, try Foley + Corinna’s Adrienne's Traveller Bag
($695) or Urban Outfitters’ Lady Croc Bag ($58). As for the slouchy tee, we must recommend one of our favorites—Kain’s Bell Tee
($83). Skirt-wise, you can go for something like Forever 21’s Knee Length Pleated Skirt ($24.80) for a fifties vibe or check out Anna Sui’s Aesthetic Diamonds Skirt
($301) for a luxurious and sophisticated option. Finally, we’d like to return to leggings for moment, as we were completely inspired by the way Bettina (bottom row, far right) styled her liquid leggings. She juxtaposed the rock’n’roll pants and a leopard print scarf with a boxy modest dress for a great sex kitten-meets-schoolmarm look. Create your own version of the look with American Apparel’s Shiny Leggings ($42) in Lamé Black and Urban Outfitters’ Animal Print Linen Oblong Scarf ($28), worn with a simple sweater dress like Alice + Olivia’s Full Cuff & Hem Sweater Dress
($385) or Banana Republic’s Cashmere T-Shirt Dress
($175).
With that, we’ll bid you adieu until next month. As always, our search for new muses is ongoing, so don't hesitate to recommend yourself or a friend. Just email us (myspacemuse@whowhatwear.com) your name, age, email address, a link to your MySpace page, and the best full-length shots that convey your personal style!

that the girl on the top left! Loving the earthy colours. I propose the vintage brown across body bag is here to stay for some time. I love it. I just bought some of the hottest leggings. They are matted black, with rouched up ankles and gold zippers. They are LnA and super cute. Bettina! How fabulous. Liquid leggings and an adorable ensemble. Jeg elske YOUR OUTFIT! :) You have really stepped up your game with the myspace muses. All of these looks are strong but number 3 is the best. 4 and 5 need some work and have nice pieces individually, but make each of the girls look a little sloppy and costume-ish. Bettina looks like she raided her grandmother's closet circa 1981. Not attractive. Not fashionable. Liquid leggings is cute. Floral leggings looks like she is gardening not making a fashion statement. Heidi looks like she also raided her mother's closet. It is all too big for her petite frame. Most of this stuff is totally and absurdly hideous. Is this really the best that is out there? Martha!! I love love love your floral leggings, you work them so well. I love crazy print jeans etc!
I also think the girl top middle looks so beautiful and pure! Like a ballerina on her way to rehursal! Tres belle! xxx i like the 2nd girl. i like her style and she's pretty too so she can pull it off. i'm so excited!!!!!
i'm martha, the girl with the floral leggings.
here is my blog
http://addictionblvd.blogspot.com/ I like #2 the best. Not only her outfit and accessories, but her hair as well. The nude accessories look fresh and well, she just looks the most un-fussy. The girl in the bottom middle..thats a really awful outift. Big on top and bottom is not flattering, especially on petite people like herself. Yes, please provide us with the My Space and blog sites for these lovelies...I would love to see some of their writing and other ensembles...I am pleased to say I have visited Ivelina's blog before and am happy to see her featured here.
Would it be possible to have "juniors" muses and then another category for the over 20 set? Some of the featured muses are simply wearing the style of the moment, where others truly are going above and beyond with their style and creations. Just a thought...XO With the exception of the chick in the liquid leggings, all of them look absolutely terrible. Most of the clothes are ill-fitting and a complete mess. Bettina looks like an old woman with that outfit on. I want to send her to a senior day center. #3's leggings are from Target, I have them! #2 has a lookbook: http://lookbook.nu/user/2744-Betty-A
As does #6: http://lookbook.nu/user/9671-Bettina-B
loves Converse & leggins!!!!!

myspace.com/splash_of_pink Hey, I am the 4th girl (bottom left) - Ivelina. Thank you WWW so much for featuring me, it is such an honor to be along these other gorgeous girl that already had inspired me a lot. WWW was one of the first sites that got me into the world of fashion bloggers. Thank you once again and thanks for all the nice comments!!!
Love,
http://frichic.blogspot.com/ 6 is from Paris, no wonder ... she can pull of just about anything. I couldn't pull off the liquid tights, floral tights or tulip pants. they ALL look great EXCEPT the girl in the green shirt and striped skirt (do like the purse though). Other than that, all the outfits are awesome, but i could NEVER pull any of them off. for beautiful organic & raw handmade jewelry, simple but beautiful feathered headbands and art go to lualosangeles.etsy.com! great stuff!
2, 4 and 6 have really got it. especially 2 for me. she looks adorable. 1,2 & 6 are my favourites! They're definitely gonna be part of my clothing inspriation. They have such fantastic style :)

mostlymodel.blogspot.bom i love the tulip pants.
so much, they are so great!
*caroline*
louiseorvalentine.blogspot.com I have followed Betty's style for some time - effortless!
I wasn't familiar with any of the other muses...hope someone will post their links ;)
http://mimisview.blogspot.com/ i really only like the 1st 2 girls in the top row (the one with the across body bag and the one with the neutrals). the one in the center of the bottom row looks a bit granny-ish in my opinion. no offense. I'M GIRL NUMBER 6: BETTINA :)
Thanks for all the nice comments:) I'm so happy to be chosen as a MySpace Muse and I'm honoured to be in such a great company of stylish girls! :)

I love number 2's look(on top). It looks like she put zero effort into her looks which is super awesome. so which one is from norway? i'm confused.
:) i think that i am moving back to oslo soon.
http://www.xanga.com/ingridholm i love betty's blog-very inspirational. and bettina is gorgeous. does she have a blog?
http://teamcherika.blogspot.com does anyone know who number 6 is? love her style so i would love to know her blog! I love almost all of these (I have a personal hatred of busy printed trousers so I'll recuse melf from the 3rd girl who does I admit work the look) but number 5, really? the line created by tucked in gigantic tee and that pale horizontal striped giant skirt which looks like it has an elastic waist cut her body off in horrible ways. The bag is nice but she looks heavier than she is as well as swallowed by her clothes all at once! This really needs some sort of wide belt (and different shoes!) I love the second girls outfit(from the top), also the last girl, I love the leggings. Just to let u know, if you're on a tight budget Target sells liquid leggings for half the price. Hey Hey!!
If you guys had some times, check out my blog at http://fashion-maverick.blogspot.com/ !!!
Thanks before guys!!!
=) Most of these are so ON this month! I love the 1-4, and 6. I couldn't wear 3's outfit ("dancer's thighs" + floral tights= not a good look) but I love how all of my favorites paired key pieves with complimentary, but neutral pieces, so they don't look gaudy... great style@its best :) Can anyone provide their blogs? (: i adore the second girl in the top row's look!! love all the neutrals. most beautiful post in ages. Ivelina's outfit is soo pretty!
xoxo melmo
