if there’s one thing i’ve learned about style since living in new york, it’s that a black ensemble always works. but now that summer is upon us, it’s all about bright whites. in my opinion, neutrals are always in season. and neutrals can always be paired together. my favorite way to wear monochrome is in different textures. i think a white sweater knit + a sequin woven jogger + a nude patent leather pump creates interest without distracting. this can be done in a variety of ways, but neutrals feel effortless. happy viewing, let me know what you think!

fancy @ the flatiron // {florals} + felines

to me, it’s fancy because of the mix of textures & angles. it’s not about what you spent, where you’re going, or even why you’re wearing it. it’s about how you pair everything together – attitude included. and yes, playful counts!
