For me, my weekend style is all about chic comfort. My weekends are usually filled with running a bunch of errands all over the city so I want to be comfortable, but stylish and pulled together enough for the spur of the moment brunch that may occur (ok, that almost always occurs).
I fell in love with this lilac top when I was shopping at H&M a couple months ago. I was over the frigid temps and was looking for a bright color to introduce into my spring wardrobe. Like Shelby mentioned, as New Yorkers our winter wardrobe consists primarily of black. I think it’s part of the lease you sign when you move here- “I promise to wear black and only black from November through March”. It’s a little boxier of a silhouette than I typically go for, but in the spirit of trying new things (re. color in my wardrobe) for spring I decided to give it a go.
You can never go wrong with a pair of soft and baggy boyfriend fit jeans. I’ll admit, I first picked out these jeans solely based on the color. The wash is called Arendelle, which happens to be the name of a fictional town in a certain Disney movie Shelby and I may or may not be obsessed with. In New York City you walk EVERYWHERE so footwear is extremely important. You may think a pair of shoes are comfy but try walking block after block on hard cement and then tell me if you feel the same. My trusty Birks offer the perfect amount of support and are very on trend right now.
As I mentioned here, I love a good crossbody bag in the spring/summer. I’m no longer worrying about the bulkiness of a coat and needing a bag I can lug my winter accessories around in. A crossbody bag allows me to travel light and be hands free.
I never leave home without a pair of sunglasses. Sunglasses are a quick and easy way to completely change up your look and are the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. My baby blues are very sensitive to light, so anytime the sun is shining there are sunglasses on my face. My sunglass philosophy is cheap but chic. I’ve owned expensive designer sunglasses in the past, but I’m usually wearing a pair that I picked up for less than $20 at Target. My sunglasses tend to get pretty beat up in my bag, and since I’m constantly pulling them off and on while I’m out running errands I don’t want to risk dropping, scratching, breaking, or losing an expensive pair.
