What I’m Wearing:

Red Bodysuit: @targetstyle
White Sweater: @shopcider
Skirt: @hm
Bag: @gattabag
Boots: @boot_barn_official
Lip: @colourpopcosmetics
Choker: @forever21
Ring: @catbirdnyc
Earrings: @studs

I told you I'd be wearing these boots to death! I wore them casually around the house and then on a quick coffee run, but I didn’t style them at all during those outings. Dear reader, when I finally wore this complete outfit outside, I don’t think I’ve ever had so many eyes on me at once.

It was quite a surprise when a guy even tried to hit on me from his car while I was walking by. That unexpected interaction made for a good laugh on my part! Boots are always a fantastic fall staple, aren’t they? For this look, I did focus on more neutrals, and rather than trying to match the boots exactly, I aimed to add complementary elements to them, if that makes sense.

I bought this skirt on a whim last year, and it has truly proven to be a great addition to my wardrobe. I love its rich copper hue, which pairs beautifully with my favorite camera bag. I’m so happy to be styling outfits again; it’s a beautiful distraction from everyday life.

there's something about september in new york city that makes me want to get dressed again.

august is all about surviving the heat and squeezing every last bit of summer out of the city. september feels different. suddenly the mornings are a little cooler, the sidewalks feel a little busier, and everyone seems to be returning to their routines.

and honestly? i love it.

Outfits I Wear on Repeat in Harlem.

There are some outfits in my closet that I wear once, love, and then somehow forget about. And then there are the outfits I wear all. the. time.

You know the ones. The outfits that make getting dressed easy because you already know they work. The ones you reach for when you're running out for coffee, heading downtown, meeting a friend, spending the afternoon wandering around New York, or just want to feel a little more put together without actually putting that much effort in.

Wardrobe Staples for NYC Women in Their 30s.
Wardrobe Staples for NYC Women in Their 30s.

There’s something about getting dressed in New York City that makes you rethink your entire wardrobe.

You can leave your apartment in the morning for a coffee run and somehow end up walking three miles, sitting in a café for two hours, running errands, meeting a friend for dinner, and making an impromptu stop somewhere you’ve never been before. Your clothes have to keep up with you.

And honestly? I think getting older has changed the way I think about getting dressed, too.

In my 20s, I was much more willing to buy something simply because I thought it was cute. These days, I want my clothes to be cute and comfortable. I want pieces that can be worn five different ways, shoes I can actually walk in, and a wardrobe that makes getting dressed feel easier instead of more complicated.
