Welcome to Day 3 of New York Fashion Week! My feet aren’t killing me yet-yay! Just for an extra measure to sustain my comfort, I wore one of my favorite pairs of flats, and it being the weekend and all, I thought I could be a bit more casual anyways. Today was a scorcher, with the temperature hitting 92 degrees, so a sleeveless garment was absolutely in order.
Otherwise, here’s to hopefully an Indian summer and a mild winter, and in the meanwhile, I truly am enjoying the sun beating down, in tandem with getting in some of my new summer looks, for a while longer. What I’m wearing is actually two pieces, a halter top and skirt, but give an awesome illusion of one fluid dress, complimented by some blushy sparkle found on my wrists and ears.

The subject line for this was taken directly from Fashion Pulse Hubby when he saw me in this outfit, which was an aha! moment for me in describing it in a straight forward form. It’s kind of grungy, but still works clean lines and a bit of femininity into it as well. I wish I could dress this effortlessly every day, but it’s so easy to make this look business meeting appropriate by merely swapping out my 8-eye Dr Martens out for a pair of patent leather black pumps. A bit of pleating and a white, fitted perforated leather jacket really lends an au courant quality to the look while my um (unintentional) roots, Ray-Bans, ribbed tights and of course, boots, feel a bit retro and certainly street-style worthy.
Have you rocked the Docs in an unconventional way?
