Around the end of July, I stretched my arm as far back as it would go into the depths of my closet, and pulled out a few pieces that were quietly biding their time, waiting patiently to be worn. In all honesty, somehow it had eclipsed my mind that they were there, which probably means I have too many items…

Although NYC is 100% surrounded by water…river views never get old, and finding an empty bench or waterfront walkway pretty much NEVER happens. When I was in Long Island City, Queens and sunset was approaching, I spotted a great opportunity to pause and take in the sites and sounds. Central park is great but a view of the city scape across the soft waves? Even better!
As you may recall, I’m big this summer on the brightly woven huarache look, and wore it on this day via my accessories of my handbag and heels, while my clothing remained in a soft palette of cream and dove grey. I also went matchy matchy with my bracelets and earrings, pairing the vibrant shade of blue found in the shoes with summer-ific turquoise jewelry.

After a long day at work, the sun was still shining at 7pm and felt absolutely glorious, yet the opportunistic moments for photos was quickly depleting. As I laid a series of kisses on Fashion Pulse Kitty’s little head and ran out the door with Fashion Pulse Hubby to snap a few pics, I didn’t realize until later, but my shadow tagged along to say hello!
The look that I pulled together today thrived on clean, smooth, well-defined lines, found in seamless, foundational garments and the color blocking in my dress, all the way through to the quilting on my bag, with precision and symmetry being key elements. I like to keep the balance of color largely black and white, with a pop of blue and faux croc texture from the bag, partnered with a surprise flash of metallic via the gunmetal hue of the pumps and crystal shine of my earrings. Maintaining a similar, linear shape throughout my look was essential to its completion, and even though the dress was already erring on the futuristic side, the metallic pumps solidified it in that direction. I love that the quilted pattern continued, albeit in miniscule form, onto the shoulder strap, which provided extra style AND comfort.

Brrr! This weather is no joke! Snow is on the ground, and with more on the way, I will definitely have a pair of boots on my feet for the last day of fashion week. Despite the frigid temperatures, ice, and snow on the ground, I’ve also had a cold ALL of fashion week, but with lots of vitamin C, I’m thinking I’m on the mend. I layered my J.Crew wool sweater underneath of my top for added warmth, and also worked a new bag into the fashion week outfit rotation – an Alexander Wang Rockie Crossbody Satchel look-a-like (everyone keeps thinking it’s the real deal!) for just $29.99 at T.J.Maxx — score!
Here’s what I wore on Day 6:
