Prêt à porter

Taking advantage of a few work days off, the first thing I added to my New York agenda was shop! Thus far, I’ve observed today’s metropolitan style trends in SoHo, Nolita and Madison Avenue. Skinny jeans, shorts paired with leggings and heels, and oversized shirts are all over this city. All items missing from my wardrobe (except heels, of course)! In an effort to mix in with the fashionistas I bought my first pair of skinny jeans today. I’ve always been opposed to the tapered look, but when paired with the right shoes it looks hot! The style has grown on me and I’m not sure if it’s because literally everyone walking down the street (even men) are wearing them. I Googled “skinny jeans” and found it was a big trend last Spring. I was so unaware! I swear I never noticed Seattleites sporting the look (except Angie who is in the know). Anyway, I’m happy to report I’ll be wearing my Rock & Republic skinny jeans tomorrow with boots. Yay!
