NYFW Day 3 – double denim & Banana Republic

Day 3 apparently was the day when my fashion brainpower hit a bump in the road.  All my carefully packed outfits stayed on the rail in our AirBnb (an incredible photographer’s loft in Williamsburg that I can’t believe I didn’t take shots of…) and double denim went on my body.  I walked the High Line and ate a pretzel the size of my head.  I caught up with Nancy after a show to grab these quick shots before sharing the rest of the pretzel stashed in my handbag.  It was pretty glamorous.  I did wear my shirt off the shoulder though – perhaps one fashion point?  Mostly because I have this thing with off the shoulder…  Half a point?

And later I went to my favourite presentation of fashion week – Banana Republic.  I wore a look which required barely an iota of fashion brainpower because, yep, I’ve worn it before.  The exact same.  Oh the shame…

Turns out Marissa Webb is creative director of Banana Republic so, after seeing her show earlier in the week, it’s not really a huge surprise that the Banana presentation was going to be right up my street.  Needless to say, one of my first stops when I arrived in London was this store although, of course, I need to wait until next season for these beauties…

Forest green leather and prints and those super wide leg stripes and perfect cut-out lace and tassel sandals (just like the Webb show) and effortless shirting and those lace culottes (hello and welcome to my closet as soon as I can get my hands on you) and all the details, right down to the glasses… and there’s a showstopper of a red dress too that will be on the waiting list…  perfection.
