NYFW FW 2013//Snippets from Malandrino.

Fresh rainy day start.

Purging the closet has only resulted in getting rid of several pairs of Abby Dawn jeans and a handful of dresses.  Baby steps.  What can I say, it’s a very thoroughly tailored collection, curated since middle school. I go by 5 very simple rules.

Toss:
1. Anything that doesn’t fit correctly. Meaning all the baggy men’s clothes that doesn’t help your figure.  Oversized anything isn’t bohemian chic or Mary-Kate.  Same goes for too tight, you can always loose the weight, but if that means the rest of the closet is jeopardized for that one pair of skinny jeans…not worth it.
2. Clothes that are uncomfortable, itchy, scratchy, pinching…causing general uneasiness…
3. Unless it’s a T-shirt or a nostalgic jersey or camp shirt, anything with large graphics or logos or words.
4. If it still has a tag on it, return it, and if you haven’t worn something since you put it on in the dressing room 1 year ago, give it away…
5. That shirt you love so much but is stained, ruined, ripped, torn, accidentally dyed beyond repair.

Now onto less frustrating and depressing matters…

Beautiful rainy weather, nostalgic for Paris of course.  Effortless is always the word that comes up first when I think of french women.  Rainy days are their best dressed days.  And what’s more french than a classic trench?

Unfortunately, still new to this style blogging business and having the worst time finding pictures.  Le sigh.  So here is one trench and we’ll pretend it’s in Paris.
