Olivia Palermo always looks chic and effortless, whether she’s making an appearance or simply going about her business running errands and whatnot. She’s quite known for mixing and matching pieces , and most often than not, each outfit she has put out has earned her a unanimous nod from fashion critics.
During the Valentino show on Wednesday, however, she may have overdecorated herself a little when she attended the event in several doses of texture. For the occasion, the socialite slipped into a lace long-sleeved top and cropped trousers, then capped off the combination with a colorful fur stole, a fringe clutch (by Valentino), and a pair of feather-and-ribbon-detailed ankle-wrap pumps.
There was a lot going on in the outfit and you simply could not figure out where to look first, or whether it was a mix that was eclectic-chic or simply bordering on eccentric.

What do you think of Olivia’s latest “red carpet” attire, hit or miss? Did the fashionista just commit a faux pas or was she able to pull it off with flair per usual?
Personally, I think she shouldn’t have worn that fringed clutch. A simple minaudiere or her go-to envelope clutch in plain black or bordeaux would have sufficed. Would you agree?
Minus the bag, I think she nailed it. Her stole is very glam. It’s a piece from Charlotte Simone, by the way. That particular variant isn’t available online, but other color combinations can be had over here.
And as for Olivia’s feather detailed heels, those I find quite fancy. They’re reportedly by Aquazzura, but sadly, they’re no longer available online. For reference, here’s a look at the pair up close:

You may need to get resourceful to get your hands on a pair. In any case, if you have a fetish for feathers, fur, and fringes like Olivia here, what I can recommend are these “Lilo” feather pumps from Kate Spade:

Note that accessories with frilly add-ons are always a little flamboyant and flirty so you have to have the personality to rock them, otherwise, they will just overwhelm you. Pair any of these pumps with cropped trousers, a lace top, and a box clutch to channel a little bit of Olivia’s look, and you’re good to go!
