A Sneaking Suspicion

Black & Gold Tweed Shorts

Real talk: I loved getting dressed up for NYFW, but was already ready to kick my heels to the curb by the end of the third day.  After a day of meetings and showroom visits, I decided to give my feet a break and threw on a pair of gold snake-print slip-on sneakers.  I mean, if you’re gonna go casual for fashion week, it better be cool.

Black & Gold Outfit

I wore this look to the French Connection holiday launch party in SoHo.  Normally, I wouldn’t reach for pearls and tweed for a night on the town, but a little red lip and some slip-on sneakers took this outfit from uptown to downtown just like that.  And as for the rest of my NYFW in heels?  I had a sneaking suspicion that didn’t last very long (see what I did there?).

  1. Downtown, uptown…you’d look good anywhere in this! I really love the pearl detail on that top.

    Heels would definitely looks great with this, but I kind of love the sneakers! A bit more practical for when you don’t want your feet to be screaming at you (or when they already are).

    I love how you styled these shorts so casually, but with an edge! Such a cute pair…they’d look equally great with heels! Perfect look!

  9. Great outfit ! You combined all clothes very well and the accessories gave it a sweet look. I love to use heels, however i think our feet deserve resting as well . So to be honest your choice was PERFECT 🙂 CONGRATULATIONS.

    This is gorgeous! I’m only a heels girl when I’m going to be sitting all day. Otherwise I’m all about flats. These are probably the chicest sneakers I’ve seen yet!

  16. I adore this! Definitely the fanciest version of shorts + T-shirt + sneakers I’ve ever seen. I definitely feel you on the heels. I wouldn’t even last one day running around NYC in the types of shoes I see photos of people wearing!

    Oohh love this downtown look. Edgy but still true to your ladylike ways. I need to remember this for myself. I have such a hard time marrying those two styles. Very nice!
