When you have a long and eventful week, the first thing you want is to have extra sleep, am I right? On Day 4, after an extra hour of rest, I was able to squeeze in a quick coffee with my good friend John before running off to shows. It was actually pouring rain on this day. I got a few photos indoors, but to give you full details on the outfit, I reshot the outfit outdoors when there was daylight. Not everything in life goes as planned, but you can always make the most of what you’ve got, right?
Sometimes you really just hope things come together like a dream. With a great appreciation for detailed work and elevated style (thanks to my first look at runway show by Elie Saab Spring Summer 2006 Couture – holy moly I just realized that was 11 years ago!), I really wanted to go back to my deep love for detailed pieces and luckily enough, I pulled together this outfit just before flying out for New York Fashion Week. I’ve had a long running love affair with runway fashion. I can honestly tell you that I have very expensive taste, but I am always on a budget, and even if I were rich, I’d still shop high street and mix and match with luxurious pieces. This entire outfit is truly proof of that.
Here, I went with a cold shoulder lace top, a favourite combination of mine. As I mentioned in my recap of NYFW Diary – Day 1, we are moving to a more asymmetrical cold shoulder, so bearing one shoulder, or having some imbalance between the left and right side. Ever since seeing the runways of Valentino, Chloe, Elie Saab and Zimmermann, I’ve been obsessed with ruffles and a touch of modern 70’s. I spotted these pants across the room while shopping & actually held onto the larger size until I could find one in XS. I wasn’t kidding when I said obsessed. I also brought at least 3 pairs of sunglasses with me, but time and time again, I kept wearing these Gucci with the roses printed on them. When you have a favourite, there’s nothing wrong with sticking to it.
I finished my look with my pearl bomber jacket, which showed up on my blog previously, here. Due to the rain, I decided to pass up on my leather handbags and go with something that would handle the wet weather better. At first I was a little disappointed, but I really needed that pop of color, so thank God because it just worked out.
This outfit was shot and featured in Marie Claire Brazil, which tells me that it was just meant to be.
Get the Look
Bomber: This bomber is by A Star is Born, but is sold out. I’ve updated the selection of embellished bomber jackets, shop the jackets here.
Top: The lace top is from ZARA, but I never saw it online – only in stores. If you’re not near a ZARA, a long sleeve lace one is available here. For sleeveless options, a black one here, and a pink one here.
Sunglasses by Gucci available here. A great affordable lilac one here.
Pink clutch options in my prior post here.
Ruffle pants available here and here.
Now, I want to do a quick summary of my favourites from the day. I attended a few shows this day, but most of them were full of beautiful gowns meant for galas and red carpet.
Leanne Marshall Fall/Winter ’17
Here’s a recap Leanne Marshall’s latest collection. I watched her win Season 5 of Project Runway since I had cable and used to watch it religiously. She is known for her dress designs.

You are too sweet, Rachel! I love the ruffle details myself. I have worn this a couple more times, since I love the look so much. 🙂 Time to mix it up a bit though haha.

Loving the details. I’m all about minimalism but I do love opulent details now and then. It’s something I need and want to inject more of into my own wardrobe

Your NYFW outfits just keeping getting better and better and so creative! Love that pink furry clutch too. So unexpected. I would totally go nuts shopping too if I had a ton of money. Actually online shopping is my bad habit. My hometown malls leave something to be desired. I feel like when you shop online, you buy and forget. And forget how much you spend. And then the bill comes and you’re like, “how did I spend that much?” Anyways, love the look girl!

As much as I love the ruffles and assymetrical style I can’t picture myself in it. It must be vbecause I’m a 90’s gal and minimalism got so ancred in my deep self, LOL
I do enjoy wearing flowy dresses and I love the recap you made on the Leanne Marshall’s show!
When you know your style and stick to it, there’s absolutely no wrong in that. lol I appreciate a great minimalist look! 🙂 Leanne did a fantastic job. I hope you had a lovely week.

I’m impressed with your bomber (a shame it’s sold out) and those pants!! I’m a M for pants and I’m always amazed when people can fit into XS bottoms 😱😱 and thanks for sharing the Leanne Marshall Fall/Winter ’17 collection – I love the sheer lace fabrics too ❤️
I never used to fit in XS. I think it’s because I moved to the US and the sizing may be a little different. Leanne’s dresses were lovely! Thanks Aldora!

Well, girl, I know in your last NYFW post I said that it was one of my favorite outfits yet, but I must go back on my word because THIS outfit is just pure divinity. The top has my heart 100%, and those pants are such a dream. It also looks like a really comfortable outfit! You look incredible – and the fact that Marie Claire Brazil thought so too is really amazing! Plus, the styles from the runway are incredible. You and your ruffles were in great company!

OMG, I remember you shared that you look was featured. It is so cool! I went to NYFW two times and actually never ended up on magazine LOL. But in Korea, I felt like a super star. Haha. Maybe because I don’t feel like want to go crazy with my outfits lately and buy only what I can wear again. Love your pants, and not sure how they would look on me, since I am shorter than you. Haha
http://www.queenhorsfall.com/
Thanks Diana! I’ve actually worn this outfit 3 times already. I tend to wear many of these items over and over again in different ways, but I ended up doing this look another few times before mixing it up. I think ruffles will be hanging around for another couple of seasons. 🙂 I wonder how tall you are. I’m actually quite short. 🙂
Xo,

That jacket is a statement piece! Love the details on it. Also these pants are so rad babe and you are rocking them! I’m loving the ruffles and asymmetrical trend. I have an asymmetrical top on the way and I cannot wait to style it.

Just like you I love mixing high and low and like you said, even if I was filthy rich I wouldn’t walk around wearing a complete runway look from any brand. You need to add that personal touch to it to make it your own and by doing that you also show your creativity. I mean, anyone could buy a look and wear it, but it’s all about how you wear it and you my dear, wear it beautifully (no matter what you wear, but here in particular!).

Good for you for attending NYFW in the winter season! I did it once and I swore the feeling would never return to my toes! Loving those fun ruffle pants you are wearing, totally on trend and everywhere on the runways.
And I’m def a sequins in the daytime kinda girl!
It is definitely really tiring, but it’s not very often that I go. 🙂 Twice a year is plenty. I don’t think I could handle any more. Thanks Lucy!
