// Kate Spade New York topper, skirt, belt bag, and sandals //

These were taken on a chilly afternoon in Bryant Park early March, just before New York’s order of “shelter in place” came into play. I already miss moments like these, sitting outside people watching, just on the brink of spring. Usually, this is a time for us New Yorkers to spend all of our lunch breaks and happy hours out in our beautiful parks. We like being out. We like being together. The energy is unlike anywhere else. Spring is usually the city’s breath of fresh air and new beginnings. For now, I will be dressing for spring inside my home, just to brighten up my day, and it’s completely working. Spring is now a mindset. Working with Kate Spade New York all of these years has really brought me so much joy. Every month, the collections just get better and better. Happier and happier. Modern, with a retro blast from the past. With this collection, there was a major play on green tweed. A matching tweed topper and skirt set. I even added in the matching belt bag, worn over my shoulder, and a sleek pair of sandals. I can’t wait to wear this look out again.

It’s obvious that a high waisted denim midi never ever goes out of style. Meet my favorite by Kate Spade New York. I keep my wardrobe super minimal now. Keeping the classic pieces, like this denim a-line skirt, to style every which way. I first gave it a tiny touch of Upper East Side. Buttoned up. Classic. A little embellishment. A bit girly, but with my tough-girl daily jewels. It’s fun switching up your style every once in a while, but still keeping it true to yourself and your attitude. Otherwise, I just get super bored. Now how cute are the pink shoes with glittered block heel? I am going to be living in them come fall.

Then, there’s this other side of me that’s inspired by the 50’s. Grease Lightning. The pink ladies. A studded belt, floral neck scarf, and black + white moto jacket. A look you want to hop in the back of a 1950’s red mustang with your hot boyfriend. I pulled it together with ruffled Kate Spade New York blouse. Classic. Let out your girly side one of these days ladies.
