Living out of two suitcases has proven to be a bit challenging. Or rather, living out of two suitcases and not shopping has proven to be challenging.
Have I mentioned my daily commute requires three blocks of window shopping along Fifth Avenue? Oh, and there’s a Zara 500 yards from my office. Where’s that retail restraining order I’ve been harping about? (Throwback.)
This day was a rarity in which a cute winter coat wasn’t required, so instead of suffering in my down-parka on the walk to work, I layered up a J.Crew blazer and utilitarian BCBG jacket. I borrowed these Zara heels from Jessica and made my way out the door. I’ve worn each of these pieces separately on a number of occasions, so it was fun to style them through a slightly different lens.

If Zara was that close to me, I’d be in trouble! LOVE the shoes!

Love the pops of pink and burgundy against the neutral denim and army jacket. Love this look! You definitely have willpower if you can resist walking past zara every. single. day. and not purchasing anything!

Seriously - 3 blocks of windowing shopping you have to walk by every morning?! Eeek! Anyway, I must say dear, those heels add such a great touch (Jess has great taste ) and I love the great pop of bright pink w/ the blazer! This weather we’ve been having lately definitley hasn’t been very “springish”! Hopefully that will change soon!
