Blue Stripes :: Zara Midi & Cinnabar

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Hi everyone! So excited to post today's outfit. Yesterday Matt and I went to the Garment District and then headed to the Chelsea area to explore. The Garment District is great place for someone who loves crafts and sewing. There was inspiration all over the place! Our first stop was Bead World and got so many great ideas for statement necklaces and bracelets.  This winter when I'm stuck inside, I'll be spending a lot of time with my list of DIY projects. 

After the Garment Districts we headed to Chelsea Pier. There was so much going on in the area.  We stumbled up Chelsea Market and had a great time exploring. I also found a great sample sale. I spent 10 minutes in the sample sale and picked up two work dresses and a plaid coat. I've learned to be an efficient shopper when I'm with Matt.  After the Market we went to the High Line. The High Line Park is a 1-mile park built on a former elevated New York Central Railroad. It's such a beautiful green getaway in the middle of Manhattan.

In the mist of all of the exploring, we found a pier door that matches with my Zara midi. I loved wearing my Coach boots with the Zara skirt. The graphic tee made the outfit casual and perfect for strolling around New York City.

Falling for Midis :: Zara Skirt & Target Sunnies

 

 

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is adjusting to the Fall weather. Late last week I had to come to terms with the colder weather and I packed up all my summer clothes. A few didn't make it into the box, so I'll need to do another sweep. Since this will be my first fall/winter in New York, I'm preparing myself for cold morning! I'm really excited for the gloves and hats! However, talk to me in January and ask me if I'm enjoying the weather :)

Today's outfit is such an easy outfit for the office. It's sophisticated and sleek. Since the midi is back and in full effect, I've taken advantage of the trend and stocked up on several of the skirts. I've been wearing pencil skirt for years, I'm ready to wear a new type of skirt to work. I'm limited to on what I can wear to the office due to the lengths of dresses and skirts, so I'm really pleased with this type of skirt for the office. I think today's outfit is very professional and I compare it to a man in gray slacks and blue oxford shirt. 

One last thing...I picked up these sunnies from Target for $12.99!!! Earlier in the day I purchased Michael Kors sunnies for $120, then I made my way to Target and got 3 pairs of sunnies and a cute hat and spent under $75! Needless to say, I took back the MK sunnies. Very happy with my purchases at Target!

Fall into Leopard :: Forever 21 top & Zara skirt

Good morning! Fall has officially arrived. This morning there was a strong breeze while I was walking to work. Although fall has arrived, you don't have to cut skirts out of your wardrobe. The midi skirt is a great alternative to the summer skirt. This midi I picked up from Zara a few weeks ago. This is an easy alternative to pants and a pencil skirt. This skirt can be worn with a lot of different tops. I think a floral top would look awesome with the accordion midi skirt. 

Place you could wear this outfit :: office, work party, social networking event, coffee date, meeting the girls for dinner.
