Color story
She said she double-checked the use of color with her sister (who said it was “Rockin!”) before she went out the door. As a fellow enthusiast of using color(s) to accessorize an outfit, I have also done the exact same thing with my sister. It’s a fine line, and she walks it well.
I love the gloves.
Baggage
A friend of mine in Albuquerque just got a red seatbeltbag for Christmas. I don’t see them that often in New York, but I think they’re nifty (right).
On the other hand, there has been a recent uptick in Chrome messenger bag sightings (left).
Whatever, they’re still cool. (Not that I’m an arbiter of bike-messenger style…)
Dainty punk
I saw a woman rocking a similar look last night on my way home from work on the corner of W Broadway and Prince. She was wearing:
- Black, suede, ankle boots with gold chains
- Black fishnets
- Black, distressed leather biker jacket
- And a very full, pleated, black cotton skirt, which tipped the outfit out of punk and over into something softer, and more chic. (Bascially the same effect as the lace tunic dress in the Sartorialist photo.)
