FASHION FROM ABROAD: Glam It Up

Getting a chance to attend fashion seminars in New York City for the first time is an amazing experience for me. With this opportunity, I get to learn to identify major New York designers and retailers, and their contribution to the fashion industry nationally and internationally. Furthermore, I get to see amazing street style outfits from people all around New York City. Indeed, I am impressed by an outfit of a Fashionista from my group. This 26-year-old fashion merchandising major amazes me by her exquisite and very New York style.

It was raining constantly for a few days the week after New Years Day. With a typical New York black umbrella, this Fashionista doesn’t mind decking out in her favorite pieces of clothing. She covers herself up with a basic pair of jeans and gray, knitted turtleneck. These pieces would keep her warm through the unpleasant weather of New York winter. She tops it off with a giant, faux fur coat in a blush color from Marshall’s to glam up the entire look.  I could spot her from far away because of her glamorous coat. It truly makes her look significantly stand out in the crowd. She chooses to match all her accessories such as gloves, crossbody purse, and ankle boots in black to complete the look. However, the black, leather ankle boots might not be the best option for the New York rainy weather. Other than that, her outfit truly impresses me.

I adore how she manages to pull off the huge, shag coat in a very elegant and subtle way. She attempts to make the look neither extravagant nor flamboyant. This Fashionista manages to top the entire outfit off with her glamorous coat very delicately by wearing simple pieces of clothing inside. That’s how I amaze her smart choices. Her style really inspires me in the fact that winter outfits don’t have to be boring. In fact, winter is even a good occasion to deck out in your favorite pieces of clothing. Just remember to choose wisely, because your choices matter!
