Worn 2 Ways: Classic Black

I recently spent a week in New York City with a few of my friends. Of course the topic of conversation before the trip was ‘what to wear’, and we all arrived to cram in an NYC hotel room with our oversized luggage! We had a ton of walking and sightseeing on the schedule, but of course with all of us in the fashion industry and being in one of the Fashion Capitals of the World, we still had to look our best while being comfortable. One of the girls made the simplest yet most effective use of layering to transition her ensemble from day to night that I just had to share! This is one Street Smarts: Looks Done Right that needed multiple pictures to do each awesome piece justice.

Day: She started off in comfy black leggings and a black blouse, both from Ralph lauren. She topped this neutral canvas off with an OH-SO-TRENDY camo jacket from Club Monaco, OH-SO-TRENDY pattern mixing with leopard Converse sneakers and added a pop of color with bangle bracelets.

Night: After hours of walking and shopping it was time to meet up some other friends for dinner. So she Clark Kent style transformed her whole look for the night in just 4 simple steps! She added a fur trim vest, leg warmers, boots and a freshwater pearl statement necklace she bought that day in Soho.
