new york uniform





Truth be told, I sort of lived in several incarnations of this outfit while in New York. The high-waisted trousers and jean shirt just fit the bill for my mood (on most of the casual days anyway).

I'm a bit swamped at work right now, playing some major catch up, but expect a wrap up post about NYFW sometime tomorrow morning, followed by a wrap up post about the Independent Fashion Blogger Conference. If there's anything else I need to wrap up, please, tell me now because my memory has gone to crap. (I blame stuffy airplane air for that.)

As for these photos, I have to say, Suz reallly brings out the inner, um, idiot in me for our photo sessions. I guess, dear readers, you had to find out at some point, but I really am a huge nerd. Sorry if that ruins any illusions of grandeur that you had of me. That first photo is pretty accurate in capturing the "essence de Krystal."

I'm one classy broad, huh? :)

Shirt: Jean shirt, Gap
Blouse: Black lace tank
Pants: Black silk high waisted trouser pants, Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Leopard print heels, Aldo
Hat: Black panama hat, Halston

  2. Keep the inner nerd alive. To me it just looks like you're genuinely happy, and that's always a good thing.

  3. To see the nerd in you come out in photos is just as fabulous, if not more amazing, than putting on any grandeur. :) You look awesome, and those leopard print shoes are killer!

  25. It's really rare to find a pair of high-waisted trousers that look good, but I love yours!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I totally thought your shoes looked familiar and then realized I have those shoes! So now I can pocket a cute little idea of high-waisted trousers with said shoes. Or cropped trousers might be nice! Anyways, you look great.

  27. This is such a cute outfit, not many people could get away with it but your figure suits it perfectly. It's great that it's all from really affordable stores too but you still look really high end.
