A Twist on the “Men’s Shirt as a Dress” Look GrandLife/Stylerepublik.com Inauguration Party @ the Tribeca Grand Hotel 1/20/09 After last night’s meetup, I ran to meet Luna at the GrandLife Inauguration Party.  Since it’s kind of a big occasion, I decided it was tuxedo inspired attire all the way.  I took a white men’s shirt, tied it around in such a way to create a tube dress (you can see from the photo where the buttons are in the front, and the collar in the back, with the sleeves tied to make a bow), belted with a cumberbund.  I’m pretty happy with the end result. Everyone seemed to be pulling out the creative stops in what they were wearing.  Amidst the stylish downtown crowd there were some really interesting characters-this guy who really reminded me of Willy Wonka (purple jeans, the hair and everything), some dude wearing a pirate’s hat and red/blue striped trousers, and another guy wearing a visor and a leopard fur (faux? i have no idea) coat.
