Today I Wore

This morning Jordan and I went up to Lincoln Center where we were lucky enough to see the BCBG Max Azria presentation. We will be posting more pictures from inside the show as well as some street style shots soon. For now though, we leave you an outfit post. This is what I wore to the show. I decided to wear a feminine lavender BCBG dress complete with frills and a shear back, a silhouette that I'm not accustomed to wearing. I generally prefer to wear more minimalist clothing, but for this special occasion I figured I'd slip out of my routine. To keep my legs warm I wore a pair of black thigh highs from Agent Provocateur (a gift from Jordan), and grey fur boot covers over my black Opening Ceremony suede lace up ankle boots. To make it the look a little more cohesive feeling, I wore my leather vest from Juicy Couture that I've been into lately. To finish it off, I wore bracelets from David Yurman, John Hardy, and my new buckle bangle from Michael Kors (an early Valentine's day gift from Jordan).

LF Black Knit Shorts H&M White T-Shirt: day to night look

Currently I am obsessed with these black knit shorts that I picked up at LF (LF makes the best knit shorts). I like to pair them with a white t-shirt, it is my everyday uniform at the moment. Conveniently for me, it is a look that I can wear day or night when accessorized properly. Here are my day and night versions of the look. The night version was taken before the heatwave and the day version was taken when the city was at its hottest. One plus about being in a heat wave is that it is perfect weather for taking pictures, it explains why West 4th Street is completely empty. Unfortunately, we only made it a couple of blocks before turning back to the apartment with only two shots to show for it.

If you can remember my post 'Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry' I mentioned how packing for the East side allows me to see what my favorite items of clothing/shoes/accessories are. With the exception of my current favorite accessories other than the clutch and the DMM bags (or Dress Me Bags if you are into bad word play), here are some of my favorite items in my wardrobe right now. Now that we are currently in a heat wave the sweaters are not getting as much attention as the other garments which are light and soft.

Acne Dress and Snake Skin

I finally found a pair of lightweight, almost transparent, snakeskin textured leggings at Miss Hoe while wandering around with Jordan the other day in Nolita. Unless I am relaxing/cold/making a short trip I am not really into wearing leggings, especially the faux leather kind; however, the idea of snakeskin textured leggings excites me. I paired them with the Bonny shirt turned dress from Acne.

LF Top William Rast Shorts and Opening Ceremony Shoes

Lately my wardrobe consists mostly of basics with the exception of a few more formal but still lightweight garments like this top from LF. Today I paired it with my favorite pair of denim shorts from William Rast and shoes from Opening Ceremony.

Kut Out (outfit inspired by Ksubi's film Kolors)

On Sunday Jordan and I went to the Opening Ceremony sample sale. I picked up some white nylon leg wear from the Japanese brand Toga Archives. I am a little obsessed with them (beyond obsessed). They were the perfect touch for my Ksubi inspired outfit.
