My Style: Urban Layers

When in New York, dress like a New Yorker... A shirt. A skirt. A button-up. A scarf. Kicks. And a big bag. All the necessary layers for an urban dweller. Gracious... do I have on enough clothes? The entire day I was wearing this, I was constantly peeling off and putting back on.

What I'm Wearing...
Tank Top: BDG from Urban Outfitters (similar)
Scarf: Cooperative from Urban Outfitters(similar)
Button-up: H&M (similar)
Skirt: H&M (similar)
The Accessories...
Glasses: Forever 21
Shoes: Nike Wedge Sneakers
Bag: Zara (similar)
Bracelet: Thrifted
You never know what the weather will be like until you step out the door. That's why New Yorkers come prepared with multiple layers, shoes to walk the town in, and an oversized bag to live out of. I definitely followed suit with this outfit. Funny thing is, I was trying not to dress so West Coast, but I guess I'm just an LA woman. Cue the song.

Thanks to the wonderful Taye Hansberry for snapping these pics. This street style was totally uncontrived and last minute, but it looks perfect!

Fresh: Nike Sky High Dunks

I'm not a sneaker head and I don't ball, but these vicious dunks got me trippin'. If you can't already tell from my Instagram pics, I'm in love with my Nikes. As soon as I put them on, I felt fresh to def. My whole perspective went from alright to say word! Like Spike Lee said "It's gotta be the shoes!"

Wedge sneakers are all the rage this season. From Isabel Marant to another fav of mine Ash, any brand who knows what's good for it is getting in on this trend. You can opt for a chunky high top or something a bit more sleek. The good thing is that wedge sneakers give you style and height while still being super comfy.

My girl Taye and I spent a little time trying on various pairs to see which looked the hottest. After lots of hits and misses, we decided to go with the Nikes. I mean you can't go wrong with the swoosh. It reigns supreme. But finding these babies proved to be a challenge. I went from store to store. I asked a few sales dudes who had no clue what I was talking about. But finally the sales chicks said they had one pair left just waiting for me. Call it destiny.

Don't worry, you wont have to go through all that. I've done the leg work for you. At a super sweet price, you better not pass these up! You know what the deal is...
