a new view

On any given weekend you can usually find me wandering through the streets of Manhattan. But on Sunday, I thought I’d change my view and found myself in Brooklyn (DUMBO – or Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass – to be exact). I’ve been switching up my style game a bit lately too (I mentioned recently how the sweeter looks I used to gravitate towards suddenly feel off) and this particular outfit really feels like ‘me’ right now. There are still the elements that I’ve always loved – a vintage red suede clutch, a touch of shine from these doubled up cocktail rings, and statement shoes in the form of these undeniably cool bejeweled Kate Spade slip-on sneakers. But there is a streamlined color palette, a borrowed from the boys feel from the tweed overcoat, and a slight edge in the distressed jeans (this pair of Paige denim has barely left my legs since they arrived – and this from a devoted dress girl!). Overall it feels somehow more put together – but at the same time like an effortless shift.  It’s good to take a new outlook now and then and as the seasons really change I’m more than ready to hit refresh.
