Two Fold

2.25.2013


Ronen Chen Martini tank (borrowed + on sale now!), H and M leather bomber jacket (similar on sale here), Merona pleated maxi skirt, Bauble Bar necklace (similar here), Monoprix fringe hobo bag, Rose Gold zip-up booties (last seen here).





I'm a huge fan of pairing navy + black. I love the subtle contrast between the two colors, and in this instance, hoped the diverging pleats in the skirt and tank would make for an interesting combination as well. I much prefer the look without the jacket, but it's winter... what can you do?

I wound up wearing this outfit on Saturday to check out the Basquiat exhibit at the Gagosian gallery in Chelsea, which I highly recommend to anyone visiting NYC in the next few months (the show runs til April 6th). Living in New York, it's easy to take for granted all the amazing arts that we have front-row access to, so Micol and I made a recent pledge to try and visit more museums and shows this year. The next one on our list? The Met's upcoming Impressionism, Fashion & Modernity show. Looks amazing, right?

    I am so scared to buy a pleated skirt! I wash everything and I guarantee I will ruin it! But you always make me almost change my mind!

    I've been obsessed with navy and black this winter, time to break the rules- it's such a classy combination.

    i agree. navy and black is such a winning color combo. the necklace is such an amazing piece to pair with this outfit, too. i love visiting shows at galleries, too. especially gagosian in chelsea. my sister works there. not the same art scene here in hong kong.
