Prepping

As we get ever closer to New York Fashion Week, I’ve kind of been in a shopping frenzy. You see, I’m hoping to be able to attend a few shows this season, which is super exciting, but has also lead me to the important question of, “What will I wear?!”

I’ve turned to Pinterest for some outfit inspiration and above are two looks that I’m really loving. Both girls look perfectly polished in simple, chic outfits. If I’m going to be attending a show, I want to look my best, but also still feel comfortable with what I’m wearing. I would wear either of these outfits in a heartbeat!

I’ve been doing some of my shopping in stores, but I was also browsing online, on sites like Asos and Topshop. I also recently heard of Kildare Village, a shopping outlet located in the UK. They carry so may great brands at discounted prices- I wish I could go there and get all my NYFW shopping done in one place!

If you’re going to be in town next week for fashion week, let me know- I’d love to meet up!

      Exactly! After fashion week, when the dust has settled a bit, I’m going to check my bank account and have a mini heart attack- I already know!

      P.S. Just bought two new lipsticks myself with the exact same reasoning ;)
