I love this outfit for a few reasons, first being the fabulous Lanvin blouse. I love the way it hangs, it is so many kinds of sexy I can not get over it. The juxtaposition between the cuffed sleeves and the deep V is something so unique. It's the perfect combination of cool and sexy. The second reason why I love this outfit is for my Alexa Leigh jewelry. Her necklaces are a breath of fresh air in the jewelry industry. I honestly don't know many designers that can create this delicate feminine look with the perfect charms and the perfect chain.

Don't kill me for doing an outfit repeat but I kind have had to re visit this look one more time and change up the shirt. I loved the whole grey monotone look, but I really felt like I needed a pop of color, so minor adjustments had been made. It's such an easy relaxed look but also super dressed up. It's definitely a work outfit. I weirdly love the oversize pant look, don't be shy to try it out. That's the best part about an outfit, it can always be changed if you don't like it.

These pants are like wearing a pair of pajama pants outside and no one giving you crazy looks. They are the most comfortable yet chic trousers I've ever tried on. I threw it on with a loose fitting Necessary Clothing neon green blouse and my perfect Proenza snakeskin pumps. I added the red Lanvin bag as another pop of color. Love pop of color. I think this outfit is popped to it's max.

Finally able to post my brand new snakeskin pumps. I am so excited about them! I loved the whole point pump, shorter heel trend, but I didn't know how I wanted to approach it exactly. I saw a ton of perfect pumps but for some reason my gut told me never to buy them. Eventually, months later, I came across these at one of the most amazing stores that I never walk into, solely because it's all straight off the runway pieces and I could never afford to shop in there. Randomly, my sister wanted to just stop in there and see what they had. I immediately saw these beauties, picked them up, and to my surprise they were on a serious serious sale. How do I not get them? It wasn't even a thought.

Anyway, let's pay attention to the rest of the outfit. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I did a major shopping trip to H&M and got such great pieces. This sweater and coat being apart of that. I loved the colors together. I don't know what it is about H&M and I, we have a serious connection, they never seem to let me down!

I love this look, there are so many unexpected aspects to it (really loving the word unexpected this last week). Chunky booties with a feminine look, silver collar and gold shiny shoes, leather and jewels...somehow it just works. Sometimes choosing the most absurd things to go together wind up looking the best. I loved this black leather skirt that had a little bit of chiffon at the end, it's kind of similar to my skirt in the last post, well the idea at least. I paired it with this short sleeve black t-shirt I found at H&M, but instead of it just being your everyday black tee, it's got that unexpected silver collar. Had to have it.
The reason why I am sick right now is probably because of these outfits we shot outside in the 23 degree weather. The only difficult thing about being a blogger in NYC is creating fantastic outdoor photos during the months of January, February, and March. We make it work though, don't you think?!

I have worn this skirt a bunch of times already. It's one of my most favorite pieces...ever. It is just so special and unique, and it fits better than anything I've ever owned. The mini skirt is just the right amount of mini, the sheer tail is just the right amount of sheerness/length, and it looks just about perfect with anything I pair it with. In this case, a worn in urban outfitters t-shirt and an old pair of booties hidden at the back of the LF store will complete the look. I love how casual it is but can also transition into a night time look.

I have to say, if my sister Danielle could be an outfit, this would be her. Everything about it screams her style. It's a little different for me because as you all know I live in my heels and the more feminine side of things. The pants however were easily styled up for work the other day in a very girly way. I love an item that could go both ways. I paired it with a floral blouse and booties. The pants came with a matching blouse to emulate the whole pajama as outerwear trend, but for me it was a bit much/burglar. How do you feel about the whole pajama trend?
