Another New York Fashion Week has come and go. The streets are no longer filled with fashionably- crazy outfits, just your normal all black wearing New Yorkers. Although the runways are all about fall and winter ’19, the streets of fashion week is where the trends of today are. The thing about NYFW is that anything goes. In line waiting for a show to start, you will girls in cocktail dresses, sneakers with jeans, athletic wear, over-sized coats, some crazy sparkly outfits, neutrals and minimalist, and so on. Although anything goes during fashion week, there are still some top trends that graced the streets of New York. Neon is having a major moment right now; I think Pantone got the color of the year wrong (coral), neon green is what every fashionista is wearing. Another color that many influencers wore were shades of pink. Python and plaid are two prints that were all over NYFW, worn either as a garment or an accessory. Mini crossbody bags were a big hit– are fanny packs out again? Sneakers and white boots are the main choice for footwear– need to become a sneaker wearing influencer, my feet hurt. And of course statement, well anything, was in. You name the item and someone had some sort of statement saying on it. As there are many trends to follow from fashion week, here are a few of my favorites.

One of the things that you might not know about me is that I enjoy learning metaphors and symbolisms, especially in colors. Why we are drawn to certain colors more than others? For instance; red is associated with intimacy, passion and rage because it takes our eyes longer to process the color than any other color. And in order to process the color our bodies use more hormones– the same amountt of hormones used during sex or rage. On the other hand blue is a color that is easy on the eyes, (most) everyone likes, and everyone looks good in.

tweed jacket // black high-waist pants (similar) // Gucci belt // satchel c/o // sunglasses // tank (similar) // nude heels 

One item that I still wear post in-office life is a tweed jacket. I love wearing tweed jackets with jeans, black pants, and over tailored dresses. It is a chic, timeless layering piece that will always be on trend. Whether you wear it polished or playful, it is a versatile must-have item for your wardrobe. Tweed Jackets bring a fashionable look to your workwear. Mixing simple black pants with a pattern or colored jacket will keep you looking professional while showing your stylish side.

Since it is apparently going to snow today, lets stay warm by dreaming about vacation. I would give anything to be on a beach right now, but when you work for yourself and live in NYC travel takes the back burner of your finances. For those of you lucky enough to be traveling to a paradise destination take me with you  shopping for resort wear is for you. Even if you are not going to be sunbathing on the beach, it’s a great time to start adding items to your summer wardrobe.
