BESPECTACLED SUNDAY OOTD: EXPOSED ZIPPER MAVEN

Standard

I thought I’d smile for this one because I was starting to scare myself with the other pics & I have no cute spokesmodels. And since Sunday is the day of rest, my contact lenses are also taking the day off.

Exposed zippers are all the rage on the runways right now & what better way to pay homage to my favorite functional friends than to wear them head to toe? I call this look “No Frills” because it’s a little bit tough guy (BUT there are hidden frills in there..SURPRISE!). I paired a sheer white frilled blouse (Forever 21) with Caribbean green capris (Forever 21)  (It’s 50 degrees, ok!? For NYC, right now, that’s summer) & black faux leather peep-toe bootlets (I don’t love the word “booties” with exposed brass zippers (Bakers Shoes). Threw on my favorite little NYC boutique find bomber jacket with more exposed zippers (in COLORS!) to complete a feminine fighter ensemble.

Below are some more detailed pictures of my top half (calm down).

HAPPY SUNDAY, FAVES! 🙂

Saturday OOTD: Granny Schoolgirl Chic

Saturday OOTD: Granny Schoolgirl Chic

Even though I don’t look so happy I have tired frog eyes (that’s a thing), it’s finally a 50 degree day in New York City, but dropping to 20 tonight, so layers are still a necessity here! Granny schoolgirl chic is my favorite kind of look on days like this. Pair an on-trend patchwork skirtall (Forever 21) with a cotton sweater with a leather & stud pocket in a sand shade (Kara), then add an asymmetrical color blocked cardigan in vivid hues like orange and a midnight blue (Kara). Throw on some suede riding boots (with or without fleece-lined leggings depending on your geography!) & you’re ready to rock & roll (or ideally, grab some chocolate-chocolate chip Haagen Dazs with whipped cream & rainbow sprinkles at the mall & shovel it in your face like I just did).

HAPPY WEEKEND! 🙂
