The Outfix

November 11, 2013

Subversive Elegance

It's an all-too familiar dilemma for well-heeled Manhattan women: What do I wear? Well, it is this question that prompted me to launch The Outfix. I'm hoping it will become your daily fix of outfit inspiration because let's face it - to us fashion bishes, an Alexander Wang jet-black mule gets us high in a way Molly will never and a sale at Barneys sends us on a trip (to the Madison Avenue flagship of course!)

And with the holiday season imminently approaching - Thanksgiving, Christmukkah, New Years, oh my! - it was time to comb-through the Interwebs to find an optimistic outfit that could weather the holidays and chilly temps with aplomb. Strike a fashion-forward chord in a look that is elegant with an edge. Let's call it subversive elegance.

Tibi's oh so trendy ball gown-skirt-hybrid has my eyes twinkling as the perfect conversation starter for those pregnant pauses with the in-laws. Keep it classic with a sleeveless sweater in a matching hue (swap for a silky-smooth cami for drinks with da gurlz) and make it pop with bubblegum-pink metallic heels and a groovy standout clutch. The finishing touches are candy-colored earrings and a chic ivory coat to combat frigid temps. Just remember when Aunt Beatrice berades you about your lackluster love life over Christmas dinner that you look too freakin' elegant to give a rats behind.
