Dress for a Safari in the Concrete Jungle.

What happens when a silky lady like dress gets layered with a cotton twill utility vest and a chunky boot? You get an outfit is sophisticated enough for work or dinner on the town, but doesn't look like you're trying to hard.   Because isn't understated chicness always the goal?

Let's Play Dress Up: NY Fashion Week.

Fashion week is coming up, the biggest sign being the moans and groans on Twitter and Facebook about how terribly busy everyone is.  Cry me a river, I know.  But it wouldn't be as much fun if we couldn't complain about it!  I'm taking most of that week off this year, but here is outfit I would love to wear to Lincoln Center this September.

1. Acne silk top,  2. Theyskin's Theory blazer,  3. Carven skirt,  4. ILLESTEVA sunglasses,  5. Philip Lim tote,  6. Pierre Hardy shoes,  7. Marni cuff.  All available on Net-a-Porter.com
