NYFW STREET STYLE: WINTER MIDRIFF

Photo via: Collage Vintage

With the cold weather we are experiencing in NYC right now, I would have never thought about rocking a midriff-baring top. This look, however, has definitely changed my mind. With the right warm layers, the striped crop top looks sharp and right at home with this winter look.

NEUTRALS + WINTER WHITE

Photo via: Ania B.

Great neutral and white look on Ania. With it being winter on my side of the world, I think my first instinct would have been to go for a pair of black skinny jeans, but the white jeans truly make the look. It's time for me to break out of my 'no white during winter' mindset!

SHOE CRUSH: ALEXANDER WANG 'MACKENZIE' BOOTS

ph: Giorgia Tordini Instagram 

Been crushing on these Alexander Wang 'Mackenzie' boots, since seeing them on Giorgia Tordini. Find them here, here + here.

They also come in a short heel version (here) + in a pump style version (here).

THE PERFECT BLACK + WHITE STRIPE TEE

ph: La Garçonne

I have been on the search for the perfect black + white striped tee for years + have never able to find one with the perfect fit, collar + weight. It's almost embarrassing to admit how many striped tees I have in my closet- always settling on the newest find until one that's slightly better comes along.

I came across these two from T by Alexander Wang + ordered them, again expecting to be disappointed, but they turned out to be perfect. Major plus is that there's a short sleeve + long sleeve version, so something for every season.

You can find the short sleeve tee here + here // the long sleeve tee here + here.
