Whenever I’m stumped on what to wear in the morning, I rely on a New York City classic: head-to-toe black.  You really can’t go wrong.  But to keep things from being too somber, I decided to mix textures (silk and tweed), slap on some bright red lipstick, and throw on a pair of kooky polka dot socks. Add dark sunglasses, and VOILA!  Wardrobe crisis averted!

{H&M Tank, Skirt and Scarf, Vince Camuto Ankle Boots}

I fell in love with this skirt when I saw it in the store a while back, but I had a lot of trouble styling it.  The first time I wore it, I paired it with a navy blue tee.  Let’s just say that the resulting outfit was lackluster at best.  So as you can imagine, I was over the moon when I recently spotted this matching scarf tucked away in a bin under one of the display tables.  Talk about a match made in heaven!

If I look deliriously happy in these photos, it’s because the sun has finally come out!  It’s still probably a little too chilly for bare legs and sandals, but I just couldn’t help myself.  Also, I was inspired to dress up a little after watching the wonderful new documentary about Bill Cunningham, New York Times fashion photographer and beloved cultural anthropologist.  If you haven’t had the pleasure of checking out his weekly video segment on the NY Times website, you can do so here.  Trust me, you’ll be in for a treat!
