Corrugated Color

I love an outfit that mixes styles, color, pattern, and texture.  Perfect for a bike ride around Red Hook and impromptu stop at the Red Hook Winery for a tasting.  It happened to also work quite nicely against this colorful, corrugated metal wall.

Neon Daydream

On a recent sunny afternoon I decided to switch up my usual skinny jeans for a pair of '70s inspired bell bottoms and topped it off with a bright hat.  It was a welcome change -- and matched the graffiti wall nicely quite by chance.  

Aviators added to the overall '70s feel.

My favorite detail on this tote is the bright red and green on the straps.

Looking forward to more sunny days, fingers crossed for the weekend!

Make Tracks

The colder it gets, the more layers I can wear -- which is fine by me!  Leather jacket season tends to be rather short so I try to get as much action in while I can.  Unfortunately, I think it's drawing to a close quickly.  But with a trusty hat and scarf (and lots of layers underneath) I think I might get in a few more wears.

Sea Side

We made our annual trek to Cape Cod to spend Thanksgiving with family.  It's a nice change to visit the beach without worrying about bathing suits or sun screen.  It was beautiful and peaceful.  A nice long walk on the beach was perfect for working up an appetite.

This was my go-to jacket for the weekend.  Not too warm, not too cold and easy to layer.  The perfect jacket for weather that can't decide if it wants to be fall or winter.

I'm still figuring out exactly how to manage my (not so new anymore) bangs.  It's been a fun challenge. An easy way to change things up without losing overall length - something I'm definitely not ready for!

I layered a sheer polka-dot shirt over a chambray button down.  It made for a subtle pattern play.

The polka dots on this shirt are velvet!  It's such a cool and unexpected 3-D take on an old favorite.

It was great to enjoy a peaceful view before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season set in.

Pale Pleats

This past weekend was perfect fall weather.  Sunny but crisp and cool.  Not so cold that I had to bundle up too much, but I was still able to break out my favorite leather jacket and glove combo.

I love combining thicker sweaters with this super feminine skirt.  It makes the skirt feels a bit more casual and easy.

I couldn't resist throwing on a bit of leopard.  And I love mixing in these grey tights - the heathered grey is a little unusual, but a fun change.

Pajamas

Gotta love an outfit that feels like pajamas but is actually appropriate to wear outside the house.  It was perfect for a day trip out of the city to visit family.  It went easily from car to lunch to park adventure without a hitch.

Autumn

It was totally by accident that my outfit ended up perfectly matching my background!  The foliage in upstate New York was absolutely beautiful the last time I was up there.   Can't beat these views!

Soho Afternoon

I ventured into Soho on a hunt for a very specific pair of shoes this past weekend.  Unfortunately, I came home empty handed, but it was fun to wander around and peruse the shops none-the-less.  After a super hot couple of weeks in the city, I'm looking forward to heading out of the city for a long weekend tomorrow night (I'm packing as I write this!).

Adventures in Remixing

I love the challenge of figuring out how to wear certain items regardless of season it belongs to (I have never been one to do a closet change over each season).  I thought I'd pull together a couple good examples from previous posts to help illustrate my take on remixing.

Dress:

A spring-like dress works for cooler months when you add a pair of warm tights and a blazer.

But it works just as well for summer if you ditch the tights and swap the blazer out for a lightweight denim shirt.

Boyfriend Jeans:
These jeans are my go to when I just want to be comfortable.  Blush tones and layers work well for fall.

Change out the loose layers for a more lady-like sweater and sophisticated heels and it feels like a completely different pair of jeans.

Sweater:
Pairing a white sweater with blacks and greys makes for a simple, super crisp look. 

This sweater can work just easily when paired with a maxi dress and bright belt.

Hat:
I love this hat - the possibilities on how to wear it are endless.  One option, mixing patterns, makes for a bold look.

I also loved pairing the polka dotted hat with a polka dotted shirt.  It felt very fun and playful.

I'm a big proponent of shopping in my own closet and figuring out how to give an old item new life!
