Spring, you can’t come soon enough.
If you live in the New York City metropolitan area, you’ve more than likely had it up to here with this frigid weather! Sometimes I really feel like I’m a mole, traveling mostly underground via subway just to avoid the awful cold. Well, today, I said to myself, “enough is enough.” Bring on the bright colors and pep! If you smile more often, you’re more likely to be happy. So if you wear warm-colored clothing and jewelry, you’re more likely to be warm, right? RIGHT? ;)
My burgundy pants (which strangely appear purpleish in these pictures but I swear are burgundy!) are a winter staple, but taking a little inspiration from an old J.Crew summer model pic (see above), I threw on a chunky hot-pink necklace over a striped top to spice things up. The pants—and I’m sad about this–I bought too large. But what I’ve been doing lately is rolling up too-big pants/jeans and wearing them boyfriend-style. Only seems to work when I wear pumps, but that’s a-okay with me!
