A person's personal style is roughly equivalent to his or her fashion sense. Some people are highly conscious of their personal style, which may be detailed and planned out, including certain brands, patterns, and designers. Other people simply have an emergent personal style, which they may not be able to articulate, but which they subconsciously use to select clothing. A person's sense of style is often related to his or her social groups, interests, and age, and often to other individual factors as well.
We ran around all day long, seeing friends and family, so there were times when it was appropriate to be a little more dressed up, sans the studded blazer from ModCloth, and other times when I could be a bit more funky and show off my metal. Either w...

This ensemble has a lot of elements to it, but it was one of those creations that just fell into place. I took a peak into my closet, saw my favorite tunic and went from there. I like layering skirts, so I decided to spice this outfit up a bit by sli...

This fun, shiny, sequiny Shine Fever Capelet is from ModCloth and I have been waiting for a special occasion to wear it. It's actually a vest with a removable capelet, which is super cute with jeans, but for tonight, I wanted to be a bit more glam....

This outfit grew entirely from the new bow tie I picked up the other day from Buffalo Exchange in Ballard. It was $4 and I love it. I played off of it and created a sort of Chorus Line/circus/magician/Britney Spears-ish look, all mashed together. Any...

This outfit was inspired by the lovely Garance Dore's take on the denim shirt. In the near future, I definitely plan on tucking it in or tying it around my waist, but for now, I decided to layer it over the black dress and belt it. And, in order to a...

You definitely want to avoid the tourist look. You know, the souvenir hats, I heart NY shirts, not a good look in NY. New York is one of the most fashionable places in the world. Fashionable, designer clothes are what catch attention. You do want to still be comfy strolling around, but be creative with it. Think of where you want to go and what the weather is supposed to be like. For example, winter time, you want to wear a long coat. It gets real cold but there are a ton of fashionable coats to cover your tourist look underneath. Comfortable shoes are a must! Big Apple is called that for a reason, it's big! You have so many places you want to go and see so good foot wear is important.
There isn't exactly a specific style to dress in the Big Apple. Be funky, sleek, or just cute with your look. Be creative. You want to stand out, but in a good way.
You don't have to wear black to be sleek and stylish. Mostly businessmen and women tend to wear a lot of black, because it just works for them. You don't want to look like you are going to an important meeting. There are tons of stores in NY. Pick your store or even a few and put your own thing together.
5th ave is one the best places to go to shop. Designer clothes are highly looked upon. To name a few places that have amazingly cute clothes Juicy Couture, Gucci, Burberry, Coach, and so many more. Although black isn't always the way to go, darker colors are the most sophisticated. Light colors aren't recommended for the fancy look. You want to avoid the flip flops in the city. You may be a tourist, but you don't want to look like one. As many as there are everyday, you are sure to be stepped on, so toss the flip flops and shop for comfy shoes.
