Think, Act, and Dress like a New Yorker.

I felt very Upper East Side again today- very preppy and sophisticated. Especially with a fresh, shorter hairstyle.

I spent a good portion of my day thrifting with my mom, on the hunt for some vintage brooches. We went to 5 different thrift stores: 2 different salvation army's, a church thrift store, hospital thrift store, and the classic Value Village. I scored quite big today with brooches, and a few other things (which will be shown in the next few blog posts!)

I seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that it is STILL summer, because of all the new Fall additions to my closet. I am so past wearing shorts, and ready to layer! Today I went for a very classic (upper east side vibe) look by pairing light grey, ripped skinny jeans, with a white blouse (with my signature 'half tuck') layered with a black/white bomber jacket from Loft. I felt this look was too 'dressy' for a leather watch, which I think is more casual, so I accessorized with just a silver watch- no additional bracelets. I usually use my large, light beige leather bag in the summer just because the colour is very light and fresh, but it just didn't work with this look. I went into my archive of bags, and pulled a black with brown accent leather bag with studded straps, and matched my brown open toed heel booties with it to tie the browns together.

For a (rare) pop of colour, I added 2 thrifted brooches from a church thrift store to my wardrobe. I think layering brooches creates such a unique look, and is such a fun, and personal way to amp up an outfit! I paired a yellow and gold flower brooch, with a gold brooch with 2 (fern like) leaves, and I love how they compliment each other, and add an interesting feature to this outfit.

    I am a full time fashion student and a full time fashionista. Being both is hard, but rewarding work. Keeping up with trends, while keeping up with homework... It's harder than keeping up with the Kardashian's! Lucky for me, neither of these professions slow down; hence full time. Homework is always piling up, and trends are always changing, but that's what I love about this industry!
