One of the things that I love about Fashion Week is that even though the runways are a season ahead, there’s so much inspiration to be found that can be interpreted right away. As I transition back into cold weather and suddenly have to wait for warmer days like the rest of the country, I’m looking for things that combine the feminine feel I always crave for Spring with the utilitarian aspect that Winter demands. Pulling from some of my favorite looks seen at Rebecca Minkoff and Karen Walker, I’m loving the combination above. This denim midi skirt and cozy knit cardigan are softened with a satchel in the season’s ‘it’ shade of blush pink and a bold floral tank. Topped off with an easy beanie and rugged yet totally cool booties (perfect now with tights and later with just a silky dress) it makes for the perfect girly meets tough transitional balance. And speaking of girly meets tough, Karen Walker’s show was actually inspired by the Suffragettes – who kind of wrote the book on the whole no frills feminine look. Totally inspiring.
