Outfit #1: New York City Chic

Hey Everyone!

As I said in my last blog post, I will be making a new segment here on my blog where I create outfits for you guys from clothes that represent my style. The first outfit I will be putting together for you in this post I'd describe as New York City Chic. Those of you who are from New York City will know what I mean when I say 'New York City Chic.' For those of you who are unfamiliar with the style, I'm here to explain it to you! New Yorkers are probably the chicest and most stylish people in America. The reason is because they are not flashy at all. They don't walk around shoving 'LV' logos in your face while advertising their new Prada shoes. Although, they do wear these items, they wear them in a way that isn't trashy, flashy, or show-y. The outfit I've put together is something I would wear in an instant. The outfit consists of an elegant, yet incredibly cute, Chiffon Cape Collar Blouse, simple, yet sophisticated J Brand black high rise leggings, and an amazing pair of Alexander Wang booties. Let's go ahead and take a look!

TopShop Terracotta Chiffon Cape Collar Blouse 
J Brand Maria Powerstretch High Rise Leggings
Alexander Wang Freja Whipstitch Booties

This is the outfit! I chose this top because I love its sophisticated elegance and the light burgundy/red color is very attractive and will light up your features. I chose these black leggings, skinny jean look alikes, because they are comfortable and simple. Black is a color that can go with everything, therefore, it compliments while not taking any attention away from your top. Lastly, the amazing Alexander Wang booties will pull your outfit all together. They will give you height as well as poise. They are so beautifully made and very unique. These shoes are not your typical heel or booty which makes them that much more appealing and attractive to the eye. The color of these shoes, a deep burgundy, compliment the blouse perfectly because they are in the same color group. In my opinion, if shoes and a top/pant are the exact same color, it looks peculiar and doesn't make your outfit original in anyway. With this shoe and top, you get the "matching" effect without actually wearing the exact same color more than once. This gives your outfit range, which is what you want. The reason I like this outfit so much is that it is very versatile. You can dress it up by adding accessories and a cute clutch, or dress it down by replacing the heels for flats. I love the outfit either way, but if I were to dress it down I would chose this shoe. 
TopShop NAOMI Black Lace Up Ankle Boots

I really like these lace up ankle boots because they are really original and cute at the same time. I like the open toe in the front and the elevated back, which is a perfect place to tuck your black leggings into. The metallic holes, where the laces are laced through, contrast well with the red blouse. So if you want to dress this outfit down, I'd give these adorable cute ankle boots a try!
