Friday Fashion Break: ‘Z Spoke’ by Zac Posen

I don’t know about you, but I love when Fashion Week rolls around. I know it must be stemming from my two years in grad school a la NYU – which was situated across the street from Bryant Park aka the old site of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. I loved to walk outside after class and see the models, the celebrities, the fashion and the photographers. I loved the whole hullabaloo. And trust me, one day I will be welcomed into those glorious tents. But alas, until that day, I happily soak in the sights from afar and become inspired {graphical speaking} by my fellow artists {those who design in clothe rather than pixels}. Mr. Posen’s collection is slightly darker and more dramatic than I normally lean – but darlings, I just could not stop looking at these pics. Enjoy. Feast away. I know I did.

I recently started a new job. And to be honest the hardest aspect of my job change has been trying to figure out the new dress code.

Dress code = business casual

Business casual = the most obsure definition on the planet

I have been trying to gauge looks based on others, but I have been confronted with suits versus jeans/dirty t’s. Not to mention I sit in front of a screen 99.3% of my day and rarely interract with someone face-to-face. It is the digital, modern world people … meetings are held over the computer or phone … so how do you dress for a phone conference?

MON: dress pants, simple white top, green tank, yellow flats

TUES: dress pants, t-shirt, black wrap, B&W flats

WEDS: grey wrap cardi, dress pants, sparkle sandles

THURS: printed dress, black leggings, black cardi, yellow flats

FRI: dress-down jeans, yellow tank, grey sweater, yellow flats

Honestly, the only day I truly felt like myself was on Friday. And I think you can even see that fact in my face. In addition, I realize that I need to purchase new flats and accept that my badge ruins any look.

So, my dear friends in cyberspace, I leave this up to you … pass or fail on the business casual attire?

Until the sun comes out – I will just wear mellow yellow.

Fashion forward or Fashion faux pas?

The comment I hear most about my outfits:

'I would never think to put those colors/patterns/etc together'

{Maybe at times I go too far; but don't we all?}

This is a very simple dress - all one piece.

It fit terrific, and I loved it ...

But I didn't want it to be boring.

So, I added the pop of yellow,

in the shoes, bag and bangles.

Too much?
