It becomes harder each day to pull out those thick sweaters, coats, and hats when you know the weather is so close to getting more warm.  We are on the brink of Spring, however it is still 30 degrees outside.  While you may not be able to pack away your coats just yet, you can dawn light Spring colors to help you mentally transition.  It’s a fun way of making the most of sweater weather!

For this ensemble, I wanted to breach winter whites with soft Spring tones, such as tans, creams, and light pinks. It helps the look evolve into the next season.

Due to the cold snap lately, my thick knitted H&M sweater was a perfect start to this look.  I paired it with a printed vintage skirt with tan and brown hues.  The snakeskin print that has been so popular this season, like this Nasty Gal skirt, would be perfect .

Lately, I have been inspired by the hanging scarf belted at the waist, made popular on the runway last season.  I chose to use it to heighten the whole look with this cream scarf that my Granny knitted.  Then I fastened it with a thin brown belt.  By using this color, it pulls out the brown tones in the skirt and the boots.  Also, it helps keeps in the heat and adds a sophistication to the outfit.

The light pink hue of the Marc New York bag throws a touch of Spring to complete the outfit.  When the weather warms up to the 60’s, you could easily recreate this look with a light white top and switch out the boots for a cute pair of pumps.  Add a white coat with a knitted texture to the mix, and Voila! By adding some soft neutrals and a cute print, you managed to take the drab of winter to a fun Spring-y level!

This was such an exciting fashion week because it was my debut of She’s Red Haute to the shows of NYFW!  Fashion Week is a time when I can take some daring risks with my looks and let my outfits express my true personality.  I’ve decided to break up my experience into two parts, so you can get the full effect!

Fashion week runway shows can be fantastic forms of expression of our current culture.  This season, many designers put a huge focus on strong, empowering women bringing back 1980’s inspired power suits and bold colors.

The Dan Liu show had a very James Bond vibe… if James Bond were a boss babe!  He did a fantastic job designing long suit jacket dresses.  I sported a Chanel inspired Karen Lawrence dress.  The strong aura suggested in the dress, with the hightened sleeves and the lattice work illusion top, blends seamlessly with the feminine pearls and bows.  Additionally, I paired the outfit with a mod pair of Qupid block heels and ivory socks to match my New York & Company coat, for warmth.  Aside from the dress, my favorite part of this outfit is my Marc New York bag.  I adore the color and metal ring handle.

This gold power outfit was completely inspired by the NYFW Malan Breton F/W 2017 collection. His use of metallics and female suits was breathtaking.  My jacket and  handbag are from Marshall’s and the rest is from H&M.  The scalloped belt, which I snagged from a vintage shop, complimented the scales on the jacket to a tee.  I felt sleek and ready to take on the world in this outfit, which I wore to the Fashion Hong Kong show and after party, and the Dahlia Razzook trunk show.
