Not Business, Not Casual

Windowpane Shirt & Leather Shorts

I have another NYFW outfit coming atcha today and I especially love that this one’s a combo of business and pleasure — well, the kind of business that only goes down at Fashion Week (or maybe on a street corner).  I took a day off from the real 9-to-5 and wore this look to a few showroom visits with some of my favorite brands.  It was also the perfect getup to grab drinks later on with my girls Ashley, Ali, Lindsey and Adriana.  Work hard, play harder, right?  As for actual business meetings … I would probably suggest wearing real pants.

  6. Love this look! I’d say it’s casual because of the shirt but could easily be worked for night time if the top was switched out to something dressier, more evening. Or maybe it’s the jewels that would be changed. Whatever the case, I have no doubt you can make it work.

    Love it! I love a good combination of classy lady and downtown chic similar to your “A SNEAKING SUSPICION” look. I have such trouble finding looks that work for both.
