"At today&amp;#x27;s Thakoon show, while Tracey was snapping photos of his to-die-for disco ball shoes I was chatting up Joy Bryant who just happened to be wearing a Thakoon for Target black tie-dye dress. And, let me tell you, it took a great, great deal of willpower for me not blurt out &amp;quot;Joy, you are SHUTTING it down.&amp;quot; Not only was Joy sporting the designer&amp;#x27;s unfortunately sold-out dress, she was wearing a chunky necklace that was also from Target. You know what that means: the Zoe likes Target too! Just when we thought we couldn&amp;#x27;t heart her more... Interestingly, Joy also mentioned that Rachel Zoe (her stylist and our demi-goddess) is full of genius style tips including that she calls &amp;quot;the nipple check.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I don&amp;#x27;t really like to wear bras, so Rachel always does the nipple check before I head out the door,&amp;quot; shared Joy. Being a lady and all, I didn&amp;#x27;t inquire after her current bra status, but instead very quickly turned the conversation to her printed dress. When I asked how she thought one should pull off big, bold prints, she said &amp;quot;Keep it simple everywhere else,&amp;quot; then pointed to her own black tights, black booties and thin delicate rings. Words to live by ladies! She and Thakoon share a similar outlook on prints, as he unveiled a parade of big, surrealist printed dresses and boldly colored separates--all of which could work on the Monday to Friday scene because of these genius styling tricks: Somber black tights and a wide black belt tone down the playfulness of a kicky printed dress. When worn with dark tights and a crisp black jacket, even a fire-engine red skirt can look prim and proper. A snazzy (yes, snazzy) statement necklace makes a simple black dress look super polished instead of I-didn&amp;#x27;t-know-what-to-wear-this-morning-so-I-threw-on-my-favorite-lbd. Would you wear any of these looks to work? We know &amp;quot;stripper boots&amp;quot; are not an option, so what kind of shoes would you wear with them? How about The Perfect Red Heel?
