The Fashion of Self

Coco Chanel hit the nail on the head when she said “Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.” Fashion changes from person to person, year to year, country to country, and season to season.  But no matter what stylish wardrobe I fanatically create in my mind, I know one thing will never change: my desire to dress for comfort.  Fashion doesn’t have to require pain, unless you make it that way.  Leave those six-inch Christian Louboutin’s at home, and go for the painless yet classy and comfortable style.  I love waking up to the thought of wearing an outfit that not only is stylish and chic, but also comfy (and warm if it’s a chilly day)! A large oversized sweater on top of a pair of black leggings is my go-to outfit.  Throw on some black or brown leather boots, and the outfit is complete.  I love this Vince Heather Grey sweater made of wool and yak hair – it’s hip, wearable, and can always be repeated with other jewelry to create a entirely new and different look.  I always buy my sweaters large enough to reach the upper thigh - you have to leave some things to the imagination!  Lululemon black spandex leggings are simple, comfortable, and complement the oversized sweater impeccably. The classic blue, turquoise, magenta, black, and white Emilio Pucci printed scarf made of seasonless gauze absolutely makes this outfit. This pop of color takes an ordinary and almost boring look into an outfit that defines fashion itself.  Throw on a pair of camel-colored leather Chanel boots, and you’re ready for a day of class, shopping, or even attending an NYC event.
