What NYC Recessionista Wears: Light It Up Blue for World Autism Day

Yesterday, I [unknowingly] was perfectly dressed for World Autism Day. I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t know it was happening, but now that I do, I can both show y’all my outfit from yesterday and call attention to an incredibly important cause.

Did you know that buildings and landmarks across the country were lighting up in blue for the occasion? Did you also know that Autism now affects 1 in 88 children? Click here to learn more about Autism and how you can help out this month.


Ross Simons pearl earrings (similar) / heart necklace c/o by boe / Gap cardigan / LOFT striped puff sleeve tee / LOFT mini skirt (similar) / bracelets c/o Ann Taylor spring 2013 (here and here) / watch c/o Caravelle by Bulova (similar) / Kate Spade New York tights / Old Navy boots

It’s kind of hard to tell from the photo, but my cardigan is navy and my skirt is black. I do love the different shades of blue and how they compliment each other.

The puff cap sleeves are my favorite part about this blouse … so fun and girly!
