Hey mates! I know, a winter day in New York City doesn't sound like life goals - or least activity wise- but when it comes to fashion and layering, is the perfect time, place, and excuse. Right after the Bodegas, getting my looks together is my second favorite thing about visiting New York. From a more realistic perspective, I probably sound so overhyped, but the notion of knowing I'll be back to sunny California makes it even more exciting - Ha!
I always get terrified about summer, not only because #SummerBodyNotReady, but because that entails having to let go of black clothing, for the most part. That's why, this time, I went all out and became the men in black, streetwear style. Layering a white athletic turtleneck under a high-neck sweater, adding dimension and more interesting aspects to the look - while keeping me warm. Paired with all black street wear essentials (sneakers, jeans, hat, coat, etc.). Black pieces are my favorite to wear because of the sense of security and seriousness they project.
I know summer and spring are completely associated with bright colors, but I'm on a full-time experimenting process of transitioning black clothing pieces into other seasons besides winter. I'm definitely not letting these so call "fashion rules" determinate my comfort and preference of clothes. I'm certainly not one of those people who need to do a "closet change" every season. I wear what I like, what's weather appropriate -sometimes, and what I feel comfortable in. Believe me, is a rather simple process. And while I begin to unveil my summer body -kind of lol- I hope you don't let outside sources dictate your dressing preference. Keep rocking black, or any color you like! #IDGAF (Don't even know is anyone uses this hashtag anymore).
