MONDAY MUSING: NYFW

 
New York Fashion Week is just kicking off, and there have already been some major street style looks.  The fashionable ladies seen outside of the designer shows have been loving sporty accents, cropped tops, leather pieces, statement jewelry, bright lipstick, and bold prints.  Here are my top three favorite looks so far, and some budget friendly options below.  I cannot wait to see what the rest of NYFW has in store!

SHINE BRIGHT


How can you not be obsessed with our new Shourouk inspired clutch ? This pretty little piece is a must have party accessory.   It's lightweight, compact, and encrusted with glitter- perfect for any night out!  And I just love the multi-colored gem detail across the front.  This is an instant update to any outfit. And it's only $85?  I'll take two!

Purchase my new favorite accessory here before they're all scooped up!

CUT-OFF CARRYOVER

 
 AC necklace, cuff, and clutch (available via Facebook Auction ) //  YSL Arty ring // H&M blouse // Vince shorts (similar here and here ) // Rag and Bone Newbury boots (similar here)
 
Don't store those cut-offs just yet! I'm not sure about you, but it doesn't cool off here for at least 6 more weeks... so I plan to keep wearing mine with layers on top for a little while. Ankle boots paired with a light sweater or long-sleeved top are a great way to transition your denim shorts right  into fall.  These Rag and Bone Newbury boots are one of my favorite pieces in my closet ( the Vince Comatu Hadley boot is a great budget-friendly version).  I plan to layer this look with this white leather moto jacket later on this season.

IN THE CLOSET

 




 
 
 
A change in season means a serious change in your closet.  This closet shift is the perfect time to organize your space and commit (for a while anyways) to keeping it that way.  Follow these 5 tricks to keep a perfectly edited and organized closet.
 
1.  At the end of each season, go through all your hanging and folded items and take action—donate, alter, sell or purge. If you did not wear it once that season...IT MUST GO! You won't wear it next year either.

2. Use uniformed hangers.  Not only will it save precious space, but it will look nice- and you'll want to keep it that way.

3.  Start the season with all your hangers facing toward you.  When you wear the item and you are ready to hang it back up, face the hanger the other way.  This way at the end of the season you will know what you wore and what just hung there.

4. Have 3 hampers - 1) laundry 2) dry cleaning 3) alter/ donate/ sell/ etc. (if they don't have a specific space they will end up back on the rod). 

5. If you cannot see it, you will not wear it!  Fold items like t-shirts, jeans, and exercise clothes to save room for the things you don't wear as much, and may forget about.
