What NYC Recessionista Wears: from winter to summer

Yesterday, I took a skirt from LOFT that I’d purchased way back in the winter (and have worn before, here and here), and decided to see how it would look with a new sleeveless top I’d just bought from LOFT.

The result? Fun pattern play!


Handmade lapis earrings (similar) / LOFT top and skirt (similar here and here) / moon and star bangle (similar here and here) / Dansko sandals

It’s not an exact match, but it’s pretty darn close … and because they’re all sort of in the same color palette, it just works.

This outfit has inspired me to take a look at some of the other items in my closet and play with patterns.
