NYFW Inspiration

Although I was not physically in attendance at New York Fashion Week, it would be impossible to not be inspired by the deluge of posts, tweets, behind-the-scenes snaps, & hashtagged uploads that accompanied the fabulous craziness that is #NYFW.

I was happy to be immersed in things on my Boston College campus these past few days. However, if I were attending the shows, I imagine this outfit that I wore to New York earlier in January would be an appropriate option.

I am a huge proponent of stylish comfort, so I would recommend WALKABLE FOOTWEAR & LIGHT BUT WARM TOPS as my go-to items. It is Fashion Week though, so it would be a basic necessity to include at least one piece of sophisticated glittery jewelry from MY FAVORITE DESIGNE HOUSE.

While I am currently merely an outsider looking in, it appears to me that those who are really making the most of this experience are the ones who are smiling – like my good friend, Catherine, who writes the blog, MY POWER POSE. She didn’t go to one event, show, or location without a 1000 watt smile. I envied not merely the clothes she wore or the people she met; I was touched by the genuine joy she expressed, evidently grateful for the opportunities she was given in New York.
