A Crop and a Mini

During fashion week, I’m always sketchy about wearing too much black, lest I get mistaken for PR folks. Going to fashion events clad in all black is basically akin to walking into target in red top and khakis — you’re just asking for awkward questions. Truth be told, this isn’t the exact outfit I had planned for day 4 of NYFW. Well the blue top I originally was going to pair with this skirt didn’t quite work out, so a girl’s gotta improvise a replacement. Then it dawned on me after I put the pair together: dag nabbit, I’m in all black. So to counter the effect I made sure to accessorize to death with a bold stand-out-red Marc Jacobs bag and sky high lita cat tapestry heels. Just in case that wasn’t enough, I added a borderline obnoxious minnie double sock-bun. What do you guys think of the combo?

Outfit Combo: ribbed cut-out crop top from Top Shop, box pleat flippy skirt from Topshop, lita heel in cat tapestry from Jeffrey Campbell, clip-on frame sunglasses from Madewell, spiked out necklace from Slate (find similar here), golden amulet double ring from Wildfox.
