Today's Outfit

by coutorture

Everyone in New York is headed for the Steven Alan sample sale today. Frankly, our penchant to strip down to our underwear and brave the will-we-run-into- that-guy possibility is wavering. The sale includes Steven Alan's namesake line in addition to collections from the annex, which include Ducette Duvall, Acne, and Earnest Sewn among others. For today's outfit, we've rigged up a wish list for what might be included in this massive fashion menagerie. Most likely, we'll show up at four and grab a few plaid shirts that we'll wear to the market on weekends but, you know, optimism never hurt anyone. For this outfit we've selected the Steven Alan Patch Pocket Tank ($115) and Ulla Johnson Wellfleet Pants ($254) and accessorized with a Gryson Skye bag ($725) and Super Sunglasses ($145).

When warm weather first hits people get really excited. Out come the bright prints, the short shorts, the panama hats. There is something to be said, however, for the woman who takes it in stride. She doesn't get all rambunctious and crazy with her wardrobe, she saves the 'Summer is here' outfits for when summer is actually, you know, here. During these spring months she just rolls out on to the street in something that is decidedly optimistic but not over the top. To this end, we think this outfit is something that sort of fashionista might wear. The Mayle Mariachi Sun Bag has the popular Native American thing going on, it's a summertime purse that is still substantial and sturdy, the Rag & Bone Dalton Cropped Pants and Alexander Wang Drop Needle Rainbow Tank evoke a casual and feminine mood, and the Rachel Comey Pimm Oxfords, a bit of menswear to balance things out. Here's to the girl who knows a little bit about how to mix optimism and reserve.
