OOTD: Everyday like gold
New neighborhood, new outfit post.
Earlier this month I moved from one tip of Manhattan to the other, trading in the hustle & bustle of Wall St for the quieter neighborhood feel of Harlem. As I’m settling into my new home and exploring the area what strikes me the most is how many parks there are up here. Green everywhere! St. Nicholas Park, the park closest to me, has tons of steps and a huge dog run that Cinnamon loves. At the top of the hill is City College – the place my parents met in the 1960s. It’s a homecoming of sorts.
Before the cold set in I had a chance to photograph a few outfits. Groundbreaking, isn’t this look? A dress with a cardigan, belted. And yet it seems fresh every time I wear this outfit. New shoes help too! It’s the perfect outfit accent – something fun that people may notice during pre-meeting greetings, but that get swung under the table so they won’t distract once the meeting starts.
In this outfit:
Sweater: Banana Republic Merino Cardigan (super old, similar 1, 2)
Dress: Madewell Silk Ballad Dress in gold (old, previously)
Belt: Anthropologie Leopard Spotted Skinny Belt
Necklace & Earrings: Anthropologie
Shoes: J.Crew Studded Heel Etta Pumps (go a ½ size up!)
Bag: Fossil Men’s Emerson Canvas City Bag
Nails: Chanel Le Vernis Tentation
This outfit is cross-posted on my everyday blog, Effortless Anthropologie as part of Reader Outfits.
I’ve been on a bit of a shoe kick lately. While packing for the apartment move I said goodbye to some old favorites that were beyond repair. In addition to the fabulous Ettas showcased here, I’ve got my eye on some other incredible shoes.
What shoes are you wishing for right now?
