It's always the same.
Come February, after months of wearing the same clothes, the depressing latest racks of rubbish on sales, the Spring collection stocked up amidst cold temperatures, I don't know what to wear, inspiration for the last weeks of Winter get sluggish.
I want some fresh "blood", something to shake things up a bit.

But I can't bring myself to buy clothes from the new collections as I want to limit my purchases to items I can actually wear now and not come some (still) distant Spring.
Thanks to the New York fashion week, which introduced urban, wearable and easy to replicate looks, I've collected a few ideas to save those last weeks of Winter from utter style boredom.

- Preppy silhouettes with shirts hanging off sweaters

it's finally warming up enough here that i can wear less layers and more of the clothes that have been relegated to the back of the closet due to SNOW splash, lol.
i love the collection you have here. isn't the theory collection something? j'adore.
Ahh! New York Fashion Week is becoming more and more interesting to me... I haven't followed any of the shows very closely as I used to. There is so much to catch up on!
I know how you feel ... by the end of winter, I'm dying to put on something different. I usually succumb to the early spring offerings, as the weather is mild where I live, but looking forward to next fall is definitely inspiring! I love the dusty color palette of the Zero collection especially.
Nice looks, I'm always a fan of Maria Cornejo - I'm definitely hitting her store in NYC if I visit this year.
I really liked the colours and styles of the Phillip Lim collection.
I adore your blog - and love these pictures!! you are beautiful!
I'm following you!

Pennerad:What a relief it must be to wear clothes for other purpose than protection from the snow!
I was actually a bit mixed regarding Theyskens/theory. I can't definitevely say that I liked the collection except for the trousers.
Right Dahlia! Instead of just watching the usual suspects, I enjoyed the collections of lesser known (at least in France)designers.
Prêt à Porter P: It's more Theory than Theyskens... But I liked the trousers. I think Jil Sander's collection for Uniqlo is the only collaboration where I truly feel the designer's imprint.
S: As much as I can't wait for Spring, I know I already have a good load of clothes fit for the coming season so I try to add the minimum... The Maria Cornejo show was really great and is so inspiring for the transition weather ahead.
Lin: I discovered Maria Cornejo thanks to la garçonne and have been a fan since. She had a pop-up store in Paris last year that I religiously visited but I'd love to be able to see and buy all her designs!
Thanks a lot Milly! I just had an ego surge! I truly appreciate your kind words.
