What I learned at New York Fashion Week

Last week was New York Fashion Week and if you watch my Instagram stories, then you know I had the honor and privilege of attending a handful of runway shows and presentations. It is amazing that there is an entire week for fashion fanatics like me to connect and learn. I sat front row (pinch me!) at Michael Costello and Pamela Rolland’s shows and saw Club Monaco’s spring collection up close and personal. To say I picked up a “thing or two” is an understatement! Below is my springtime fashion forecast.

Do not let anyone tell you that feathers are out of style. In all honesty, the more fluff the better! Feathers are all over the runway in so many shapes and sizes and I love it. I have been a fan of feathers since I first dressed myself in them around age four! I think there is even a photo to prove it.

Jumpsuits remain hot items for the spring. From bell bottom, culotte, formal, and sequin, onesies are not going anywhere. The ivory and lace jumpsuits debuted during Michael Costello’s show were incredible. Mark my words…I will rock a similar version including the fro. Can my hair do that, Kristin?!

Sweeping garments are hotter than ever. Consequently, capes, caftans, and trains flood the NY fashion scene. I am a cape lady so this trend is a-ok with me. Pamela Rolland hit the nail on the head mixing all of the above with timeless pieces.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you witnessed my Khloe Kardashian moment last Friday for New Year’s Eve. Long story short, I asked Kristin at the Red Chair Salon to give me Khloe hair and she nailed it. Anyway, I had another one over the weekend in my new pom pom beanie from Jess Lea Boutique, and gold earrings. I thought it was good enough to share.

I cannot stress enough the importance of accessorizing. Maybe I am preaching to the choir, but this look perfectly demonstrates how the right add-ons can transform a look. In all seriousness, without the pom pom beanie this outfit would be lacking pizzaz! When creating this look, I started out with a cute black and gold striped tee. Going for an edgy vibe, I paired the top with black distressed jeans – my answer for everything lately. While there is nothing wrong with jeans and a tee, I took it up a notch, incorporating a cape blazer into the mix. These toppers are quite possibly the chicest pieces of the season. Further embellishing the outfit with a tassel necklace, gold jewelry, and a taupe handbag, it is safe to say this black on black ensemble went from bland to fab in a matter or seconds.

I hope Khloe K would approve!
