FRIDAY NIGHT OUTFIT: HOW TO CHANNEL YOUR INNER CARRIE

by Matthew T. Murray


You look like a cowgirl from a rodeo, but also like Carrie from that good ole' show. Your bag is bestudded, your boots are befrazzled, the denim dress is cray-cray but you can't help but be dazzled. So that's the point in all of this, Carrie meets the rodeo, now go give Big a kiss.

So here's the dealio. You made it through Thanksgiving. You only gained 1.2 pounds. And you survived Black Friday. You deserve a glass of champagne. No. Make that a bottle. Or two. Throw on this patchwork denim dress, white booties that might have had sexual relations with the Be Dazzler, and a star-studded handbag. Carrie Bradshaw would have worn this on one of her many Cosmopolitan-fueled fictional outings with the gurls. Samantha would have loved the boots, Charlotte would've liked the bag, and Miranda would've hated the outfit because... well, Miranda, hated everything (but then she totally redeemed herself in the second SATC movie so I'm going to let her off the hook on this one). Because it's getting cold out thurrr, pair it with an oh-so-trendylicious silver bomber jacket - this tubular tinfoil Gucci jacket induces horniness but this Monki jacket at ASOS will prevent a financial crisis.

When wearing a tricky outfit like this, confidence (or excessive drunkenness) is key. You have to commit to the outfit! And so what if you look like a frazzled tourist from Montana when you walk into the Standard Rooftop tonight and pretentious chicks in the same Forever21 body-con dress roll their eyes at you? Carrie is smiling from her television graveyard and that's all that matters. Period.

Birds of a Feather

by Matthew T. Murray


Birds of a Feather
Birds of a Feather

Birds of a feather flock together is how the old mumbo-jumbo goes.

This season, flock to this 3.1 Philip Lim feathery tank. The dashes of color on winter-white plumes give this piece a unique touch. Wear it with distressed boyfriend jeans and metallic heels for an eye-catching daytime look, or opt for white denim and strappy nude sandals for a night on the town, as styled by moi above. This could even look crazy-cool under a sharp tuxedo for an off-kilter take on le smoking. Oh, the options!

Subversive Elegance

by Matthew T. Murray

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.
