February ootd

Hello everyone!

Its been a super busy month for me moving into a new place and settling in but I'm back! Living in New York is endlessly inspiring, the street style here is so fantastic and varies so much from neighborhood to neighborhood. I'm definitely looking forward to featuring locals on this blog to showcase LGBTQ expression through style.

For this outfit, I transitioned a summer skirt to a winter outfit. This was a fun way for me to figure out how to restyle a piece that I already had in my closet. To stay warm, I used thermal leggings and a thick turtleneck as a base layer and then layered the silky skirt with denim jacket. And no winter outfit is complete here without my doc Martens platforms. (Not pictured is the enormous puffy jacket I took off to take the pictures).

Even though there's a lot of textures going on, the whole outfit is in black, charcoal and cream so as to not come across as too busy. In NYC, it seems like people are one of two extremes- all black and sleek or wearing loud colors and bold statement pieces- both are gorgeous!

Thanks for reading!
