Nothing says casual like a crew neck sweatshirt. Turning it into a dress, however, gives it a new take on life, while remaining extremely comfortable and easy to wear. The burgundy skinny jeans give a great pop of color to the grey sweatshirt, and the boots are just incredible. The black booties with gold embellishments are unique and reminiscent of something out of the Wild West. The waist length black motorcycle jacket creates that much desired layered look for the outfit.
Do you want a blazer that not only looks good, but makes people want to rub their face against your shoulder? Of course you do. The Velvet blazer is just the thing for you. It has a beautiful sheen, and is soft to the touch. It is a nice unconventional piece that can be worn formal or casual.
After a long day at work, I grabbed my camera and began walking the streets. After walking for a while, I ended up outside of the Versace Flagship store on Fifth Avenue. There was a police car, with its sirens on, pulled over outside the store, creating great light. This young woman walked up and I knew something good was going to happen. First her red overcoat caught my eye, and then as I looked closer I saw her maroon button down underneath. Her black leather shorts were the last thing I noticed, but were the biggest statement piece for me, worn over black leggings. The black bow tie adorned ballet flats were a nice way to complete the look. The dim daylight and the addition of the red siren light gives the pictures a great feel.
A simple, yet superb outfit. The bootcut jeans are very well tailored. They have a little edge of playfulness, but sophisticated none the less. The female power jean. The black boots as well as the form fitting black blazer add to the formality of the outfit. The scarf, worn like an ascot, helps to conceal the floral print blouse underneath it, but it shows through below the blazer. The little pop of flowers and color makes this an elegant and enjoyable ensemble.
I really like the silver chandelier earrings as well.
Everyone just wants to stay wrapped up in their bed on a cold grey day. When living in New York City, you have so many ways to take advantage of a rainy day, staying in bed is a last resort. This young woman rolled out of bed, pulled together a comfortable outfit, and headed to her local beauty salon for a pedicure. Her long white tee and camouflage leggings scream comfort, but when paired with a black leather motorcycle jacket they gain a stylish appeal. The oversized scarf takes the place of the blanket when it comes to keeping you warm and cozy. Don't forget to take your flip flops with you when going for a pedicure, to let your nails dry on the walk back.
I really like her short cut, bleached blonde hair, as well as her nose ring, quite punk chic. The blue sweater cuffs on her jacket are also a nice touch.
This young man walks the SoHo streets casually. He has a simple outfit that works very well for the downtown scene. His straight leg jeans, with a few rips, are cuffed, showing off his black military boots. A simple white, scoop neck t-shirt is a crisp, yet casual item. The faded brown cardigan helps continue the laid-back motif, and helps to keep him warm. The straw trilby hat is a nice finishing touch.
In New York's West Village, I came across this young woman standing at an intersection. There was something about her; as I moved closer I could begin to see what it was. Though she had dressed for the melancholy weather, she had done so in a way that unique. She wasn't wearing sweat pants or jeans with a simple raincoat, she was wearing beige leggings tucked into her wool-lined booties. Her raincoat was actually a belted, olive drab trench with a hood. Though she carried an umbrella, in the same hand she carried a small beige handbag. It was this contradiction that, looking back, drew my eye and made her a great subject.
I really didn't know how important color is until today's bleak scenery showed me. The art of color blocking is perfected by this lovely redhead. Her red polka dotted pants are rolled up to ankle length, revealing her amazing multicolor polka dotted sneakers. Her green belted trench and bright orange handbag are the only two solid color items in the ensemble. Her black and white striped, fingerless gloves add the only strong lines on the outfit, but the scarf ties right into the polka dot motif.
The all black outfit was out in full force today. This lady apparently got the memo, but wanted to stray a little. Her black leggings are tucked into her black, slouch cowboy boots. Her handbag, other than its silver studs is made completely of black leather. However, we are able to catch a peak of her grey sweater, hidden beneath her fringed, black poncho. The black poncho does work well as a contrast, as her blonde hair cascades over her shoulders.
This guy has a great sense of style. His Carolyn Massey two toned blazer is awesome. The top two-thirds of the blazer is a grey herringbone, but the bottom third has been dyed blue. His deep v cardigan leaves room for his white polo collar, which matches the pattern on the cardigan. His straight leg blue jeans are cuffed at the bottom, showing off his worn brown leather boots.
