new york fashion week: packing inspiration

1//2//3//4

Ah, yes, it's that time of year again! New York Fashion Week! And with any luck, I'll be bringing some of our California weather to New York (because I'm totally not prepared for sub 40 degree weather!). While my trip is indeed a short one -- arriving today and flying back out on Monday -- my suitcase is surprisingly, or perhaps not that surprisingly, heavy with one too many pairs of shoes. 

Of course, things are already shaping up to be a whirlwind as I seemed to have failed at documenting some of the first things that got thrown into the suitcase selects pile. In it's place? I figured I would share some of my Pinterest pins that have helped me visualize what outfits I wanted to wear while in New York. My top contenders include:

1.) All floral suit a la Céline: I rocked this Asos floral suit a few weeks back. Me thinks it's time for round two, this time with a sturdy boyfriend jacket thrown over my shoulders.
2.) Batter up: After sitting this trend out at first, I've fully embraced the quirkiness that is wearing a sporty baseball cap with flirty dresses. Many thanks to my Twitter friends who helped me track one down right before my flight!
3.) Pretty, pretty pastels: You all know I'm a sucker for a good matchy-matchy suit. Well, I think I may have found the most perfect pastel pink one. 
4.) Mellow yellow: As I've professed before, I'm having a major yellow moment, which should prove handy as I think it might be the perfect sunny remedy for an otherwise gloomy forecast. 

Will I be seeing any of you guys out there? If so, what did you pack?!

  2. I always find it so hard to pack for trips. I like to be with all of my STUFF because outfits always evolve and it drives me nuts when I don't have that bracelet to add or that jacket.

  4. Love these choices! I'm partial to the yellow - it's super flattering on you, especially with your dark hair, and of course so cheery.
