What NYC Recessionista Wears: pure moxie

Last night I was lucky enough to attend a party thrown by Lucky Magazine and ESQ Movado to celebrate the launch of the new ESQ One watch (full recap to come soon!).  
Since the heat and humidity has returned with reckless abandon (yuck), I decided to wear something super soft, flowy and comfortable. 
Ross Simon pearl earrings (similar) / J. Crew Factory necklace / ‘moxie’ t-shirt c/o Manifesto and Bare Minerals / ESQ One watch c/o ESQ Movado / letter ‘A’ bracelet c/o Gorjana-Griffin / moon and star bangle (similar) / Ann Taylor colorblock skirt (similar) / Chelsea Crew sliver wedges (similar)
I received this ‘moxie’ t-shirt along with a tube of bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lip gloss to try, and it has quickly become one of my favorites.  It gives great color, doesn’t dry out your lips and is not sticky.  And I’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to bust out the t-shirt … 
This outfit is a bit Man Repeller — taking something dressy like this skirt, and juxtaposing it with something super casual like this t-shirt.  Everyone should play with different pieces in their closet like this!  It’s liberating …
