Spring Layers

Happy Family Day! I hope you're all having a lovely long weekend with your loved ones (and a great Valentine's Day)! It's been pretty balmy lately, and I've been experimenting with different items in my closet to layer and forgo my winter jackets.

It's New York Fashion week, and you know what that means for me – experiment and challenge myself to restyle old pieces of my wardrobe!

This frilled skirt is one of my favourite pieces in my closet, but always found it wasn't particularly versatile (or I'm just not creative). While I normally just pair it with a loose shirt tucked in and draped slightly, I decided to change things up and leave a sheer blouse untucked. To add a bit of shape back into the outfit, I added an asymmetric cropped sweater, and hiked my skirt up so that the blouse would cover everything but the frilled hem of the skirt.

On another note, what was your favourite show so far? I obviously love Marissa Webb's (and CANNOT wait for her collection to hit Banana Republic this summer). I adore her aesthetic and am really looking forward to drawing inspiration from both her runways collections and her personal style this spring and summer and fall. Jason Wu really did it for me as well with his fur accessories and oversized jackets and I'll be revisiting him whenever it snows (total lie, given that I have no fur accessories, but I'll wish I had similar clothes). 

Ps. what did you all think of the Kanye x Adidas collection? I couldn't help but think he forgot to clothe the models! There weren't a ton of "outfits" per say, and I thought a lot of the models ended up looking like naked mannequins showing off a single item.
