Good morning, Thursday. It's gloomy outside and I'm happy for indoor activities today.
So last night I was hanging with a few pals who are helping me redo my site and blog (exciting) while having a few laughs over Thai food. One of them mentioned a trend she's been seeing in Soho, and I couldn't believe it- because I was literally going to write this here post today about the very same. Patterns are everywhere. You just need to keep your eyes open.
And since I like to tell you what's trending on the streets of New York when it comes to style, allow me to present the silk leopard midi skirt in all of its girl power glory. Because it seems like every NY woman is wearing some version of this skirt- with sneakers, with kitten heels and with just about everything. Last week at The Wing I saw at least three women rocking it, and if you walk around Soho on a sunny afternoon you can literally lose count of how many versions of it you'll see. It started last summer with this skirt from Realisation Par, an is now ubiquitous in New York style circles. Incidentally, my new friend started an Instagram account in real time last night to address this little trend .
I will admit it's a versatile little number.
It nods to the 90s which I love (slip skirts so my jam) and works well with a tank top and kitten heels, or with a tucked in button down and ballet flats. It's great with a light sweater or sweatshirt and sneakers too. It's a great little piece you can either dress up or dress down.
Here's some versions of it I found online so you too can look like a New York type of chick-a-dee.
This one from Faiithfull is well priced and cute.
Love the a line silhouette of all of these, but the Ganni version of this trendy piece is particularly flattering and versatile on many body types.
Of course millennial fav Reformation is doing a version, theirs in georgette. I prefer the silk personally to give it that real lingerie feel.
This version in jersey looks comfy as f. I want it.
And this one from Icons is probably my fav- love the lace detailing for a bit of sex appeal. Fab.
And of course, the original, here. The one that started it all. For all you purists out there. I recommend wearing it with a shirt, but that's just me.
So there you have it. Leopard midi skirt. One and done. Get to it.
Cause that's what's up this seen on the streets kind of Thursday in the 212. Yours, in I live here so you don't have to. XO
