09 Sep Thrifty Threads – Fashion Week Uniform
Sigh, it’s Fashion Week in NYC. Although I have a style blog and my background is in fashion, I kinda sorta hate Fashion Week. There, I finally admitted it. But, I still have to attend some shows and events so the inevitable question becomes what to wear. I love a girly dress, but I tend to go casual chic during Fashion Week, especially when Fall gives us chilly, rainy weather.
Instead of an over the top outfit, I usually stick with one statement piece, typically a pair of heels.
The shoes, do you see those shoes?!?! Yeah, the red spike heel and leopard platform are just gorgeous. I recently picked these up during the Loehmann’s Fall Preview event.
The rest of my outfit was super simple: plaid blazer, fun t-shirt, black skinny jeans, large bangles and an oversized bag.
The large bag is functional and stylish. It’s big enough to fit my camera, phone, invites and the ever important pair of flats.

Posted at 21:36h, 10 SeptemberYou look cute…but the checked / plaid jacket is hideous!!! You should have went with anotha jacket-a solid. and why do you hate Fashion week? It’s a week of self expression and the showing off of clothes by our fav designers.

Posted at 21:47h, 10 SeptemberI love plaid, so I went with plaid versus a solid jacket, which I think would have been a bit boring. Fashion Week is just way too hectic for me so I’m not a big fan of it.
