Hudson

I have to admit, this week’s outfit post is more about the kick ass mural behind me than the clothes I’m wearing.  Being a typical New Yorker, I own an exorbitant amount of black and while I rarely wear it head to toe, this day I happened to be working that exact look.  So when my husband and I came across this mural on our way to breakfast, I had to jump in front and have him snap some pics.  Typical blogger. NYC has a plethora of street art, graffitti, and murals to satiate your art fix, but this particular mural on Bowery and Houston is definitely one of the most beautiful ones I have seen in all my years here in New York.  Definitely worth a visit if you are in the city soon.  And even more worth an outfit shot.

There are those outfits where you put a great deal of thought into planning – accessory matching, makeup pairing, hair vibe, shoe contenders – the works.  Then there are outfits that you just throw on without a single thought yet somehow they can still be a favorite.  I was having one of those latter days recently and wanted to wear something that I loved, felt comfortable in and didn’t need to think about.  Enter a chambray shirt, jeans and loafers.  I have to remind myself sometimes when I get wooed by the fancier, bolder and more high maintenance pieces that I need to have a closet stocked with basics before I can dabble in something more adventurous.  So I am on the hunt now for another pair of perfect skinny jeans and another loose chambray shirt because I believe in multiples of your staples.  And I believe in wearing good mascara and eating a hearty breakfast, but for now – let’s keep it to one personal mantra at a time.
