Building The New York Fashion Week Outfits

When I started my blog in 2011, the first person to know about it (along with my husband) was my best friend. We have known each other for 23 years now and she has been the constant source of joy and laughter in my life ever since! I called her after publishing my first ever post and jokingly said, "Next year I am going to be in New York Fashion Week covering the event by invitation." Little did I know that my joke will actually come true!! I am excited to attend the NYFW as the member of the press and have invitations for the shows from some of the iconic designers I have been admiring for a long time. (including Badgley Mischka, Tadashi Shoji, Monique Lhuillier, Carlos Miele, Lela Rose, Rebecca Minkoff, Jenny Packham, Nanette Lepore)
As soon as the first invitation came in, the planning for the NYFW outfit began. I want stylish, fashionable outfits that reflect my style, are comfortable and look professional at the same time. My plan is to build outfits with these foundation pieces - some I had in the closet, some I bought recently. I am gonna try mixing some basic shirts and tops and some dresses in there and hopefully whittle out 7 outfits for the exciting week ahead! As it is my first Fashion Week, I pored through magazines and websites for outfit inspiration (that suits my conservative style, age and occupation!) and what I surmise from my research  is this -

Based on the above, here is a preview of the items I am going to use (and reuse) for the Fashion Week! Head gear is optional for me! Outfit pictures coming soon!

So stay tuned for my NYFV coverage both here and on Examiner.com, the online publication I'll be representing at the coveted Lincoln Center runways!
