LoveBrownSugar Chic: NYFW S/S 2013 Day 1

Sigh. This week has been so busy I haven’t even had a chance to take outfit photos. The horror! Here’s a quick glimpse of my outfit if choice for Day 1 of NYFW:

I rocked this outfit because A) It was functional (chunky wedges are NECESSARY during NYFW and especially during Fashion’s Night Out) and b) I don’t normally mix prints. So instead of playing it safe, I thought I would set the bar high for day one and try something new. At the prodding of my buddy Jessica of Glamazons Blog, I decided to pair polka dots, lace, leopard and quilted leather “at the same damn time.” C) I LOVE this backpack. I live in it. Shoutout to my school days!

Top: Forever 21 (only $20!) | Shorts: H&M (similar here) | Shoes: Forever 21 | Bag: Forever 21 | Necklace c/o Stella & Dot | Snake Cuff: H&M | Ring: Street Vendor

Thoughts? Would you try mixing prints?

  2. i am terrified of mixing prints but this really works. i might re-create it, so thank you for posting the pic!

    also, such sadness that the backpack is sold out online. might have to trek to the local f21 to see if i can stalk it.

  4. My slogan for my Facebook page and Instagram account is “I have no shame in mixing prints”. So, yes! I love mixing prints! I think it is so much fun, and that there is always a new interpretation for a print.

    Great job! I love your look.
