Sweater: J Crew (similar here) | Skirt: ASOS (also love this one) | Sandals: Steve Madden | Bracelets: Ily Couture, Hermes | Sunglasses: Celine | Lipstick: MAC Show Orchid.
On the days that I don’t pick out my outfit the night before (something I’ve been doing since I was a little girl), I will start to plan what I’m going to wear during my morning shower. Typically, I will start with one main piece, whether it’s a pair of shoes or a certain skirt and then build around that. In this case, I was flipping through a magazine that showed a bright blue skirt and remembered I already owned one (somewhere in the depths of my closet). I went a little matchy matchy with my handbag and skirt and added a pop of color with these red guys, which I’ve kind of been wearing nonstop.

I do exactly the same when planning my outfits and I love the pop of colour from the shoes!
Also so jealous that you live in NYC, it's my favourite place in the world!
I'd love it if you or anyone reading this would check out my blog and leave me any feedback as I'm fairly new to this blogging business- I really would appreciate it!
Thanks and have a wonderful day 🙂
