Outfit Du Jour 5.9.09


I thought I would  do a fashion post, I will not be doing these often but I figured I would show you my outfit today that I wore yesterday to work (Friday).
It is a weird temperature here in NYC recently, rainy but warm and humid but with a chill. I don't like it. Anyway, I felt springy and wanted to wear a dress, so I paired it with slouchy suede caramel boots and my favorite black leather motorcycle jacket to play down the girlishness. I don't like girl clothes usually, but this white dress with embroidered flowers really tickles my fancy!

What do you think? Sorry for the shoddy lighting, it was early in the morning.

Detail of the embroidery and my boots.
Do you like these sort of posts?

  9. Dress and jkt are cute! The outfit looks effortless and not 'styled', which is always good.

    Arrrgh @ the weather these past few days. Yest evening actually felt like early Summer, the subway platforms were all nasty and muggy. NYC Summers KILL me. I whinge non-stop about the humidity and smog. I dunno how I think I'm actually gonna cope when I move out here!! Did you hear the rain again around 5am??

    The weather really can't make its mind up. I regret packing 2 pairs of gladiator sandals now LOL

  13. That's the plan ;-) Homeboy lives here so we've been doing the long distance thing for a while, but a move is on the cards...and so is a walk in wardrobe, Carrie-style if I have my way!! LOL

  14. I'm living in Leeds in England at the moment- it's towards the North of England. I used to live in Surrey, about an hour from London. I went to London quite a lot when I lived there and loved it!
