Three Things You Don’t Know About Me
As the title suggests, here’s three things I bet you didn’t know about me:
- I always swap out my winter clothes for the summer attire the 1st weekend in June, every June.
- June is also my favorite month (and my birthday month!), as fickle as it can be, with the occasional summer rain downpour.
- Peonies are my favorite flower (pictured in this look), which, sadly, have a short blooming season, ending in early June.
This look is fully ready for the June rain, which consistently comes down on my birthday, every other year, without fail. With a 50% chance of it happening, I really don’t want it to “rain on my parade,” but just in case it does…I’m equipped for it! My pants wick away moisture, the sandals are tasked with navigating city sidewalks without a single “hydroplaning” incident,while my tote bag will repel the rain and conceal my umbrella, just like the champ that it is. June, you are great, I clearly love you, but when you’re fickle…I will be prepared!

A Little Bit Boho
It’s kind of unbelievable how long the boho trend has been going on, but it does make sense when you consider how it represents an ease of getting dressed and generally being quite comfortable when wearing the vast majority of its pieces. The concept of “festival attire” is so huge these days and clearly ties into the trend, but when attending one may be more of an anomaly in your life rather than the routine norm, boho needs to prep and evolve for steady weekend use instead. Borrowing one ore two elements from it (the blouse, the bag) and working it into what I already regularly wear makes it more “me,” appropriate for a variety of occasions, and way less costume-y.

What I Wore: NYFW Look 5
My version of attention-grabbing style has become more subtle over the years; it’s not longer about the entire look being over-the-top, but more of just one or two key pieces providing the “wow” factor. While out of reverence for professionalism and appropriateness, my wardrobe has certainly gotten more serious over the past six or so years, I can’t help but fall for those pieces every now and then that just feel so fashion, so exciting, and restore my sense of the power of great style.
After this trip to Japan, I believe that it’s definitely going to shift again; there’s no way that this incredibly fashionable place won’t be instrumental in influencing my looks and consideration of style going forward. I’ve been here a little over a week, and am already shifting the way I think about pairing silhouettes and balancing proportions.
Do you have an item or two in your closet that you feel this way about? For me, it’s definitely this skirt, and the shoes; they are far from the ordinary, and wouldn’t work in an every day scenario, but that’s what so special about them, making each time I wear them quite memorable.
