This morning I walked into my bedroom thinking "I don't give a Three Blind Mice a** what I wear today." Which inspired this experiment: how to get dressed in under a minute on a very cold morning:
Why blindly pull clothes from closet? Because NY Fashion Week is over. Fretting over how to look passably OK in tents earns one a stylecation.
- close eyes and pull out shirt [grey, long-sleeved Abaete, beginner's luck score]
- keep eyes closed, grope for pants [Gap navy wide legs. Why are these still in my winter closet? Too lightweight! But I stay true to course...]
- keep eyes closed and feel around for something woolly [Uniqlo off-white cardigan, not too pilly yet]
- open eyes and put on coat and shoes so you don't freeze or trip & fall on way to work [puffiest coat in closet and Lady Foot Locker Nike lodunks, best commuting kicks]
But back on 34th Street tomorrow where I recommend this personal favorite stop because it looks like they've been doing a little spring cleaning:
Daffy's Herald Square, for those of you who say they get overwhelmed by the many racks, you must visit as the sixth floor was looking quite inviting on Pre-Fashion Week Friday. And how much do these shoes make me want to spend more than a minute in the closet finding them an appropriate ensemble?
All by Patrizia Pepe, who also devised this ingenious reusable bag program:
Just tie it onto your jeans & sell. Italian innovation strikes again.

I love the idea of a stylecation. I take one every time I get sick ... too bad you won't SHOW us this ravishing one-minute look you assembled. ;)
Those wedges are a glory to behold. Indeed they are.
sal - no way! stylecation + outfit pic is like oil and water!
want the wedges, Daffy's shoes are always making me happy.
Great shoes, and I agree with Sal you should have taken a picture, now can I see if it's worth??? :)
Good tip, I think I'll do the experience (with n picture also) LOL

A stylecation Miss Fashion? That is an idea with merit, we are so with you!

Unfortunately, I'd end up looking like a homeless bum if I followed your lead...but just for giggles I might give it a crack.

Love this post! I think that's how I picked out my outfit this morning. I can guarantee that you looked cooler though.
Ha! I must say, I dig those pink shoes.
Oh I like the new layout! It's beautiful! That's good advice and it's so true about not caring what to wear after when fashion week is over. I was wearing sweats the day after hehe! Those bubble pink ones are so cute!
