Triple Threat: How to Get an It Girl Look in Only 3 Pieces
Years ago the term “it” girl almost exclusively referred to a celebrity. TV stars, musicians, movie actresses, etc. But with the explosion of social media, street style photography and style-centric blogs, the muses of designers and magazine cover stars has officially shifted to the girl about town, who just happens to be outrageously on-point trend-wise. We sift through loads of websites, blogs and social media outlets admiring, ogling and hoping to channel whatever that “it” girl factor is. The French call it je ne sais quoi; we call it style intelligence because these babes have their fingers on the pulse of fashion.
