Topshop Wrap Slipdress
Whenever I visit NYC, I have to go down to Soho. I love the awesome stores and cool buildings downtown. Some of my favorite stores such as Topshop, Zara and Uniqlo are all near each other and are in walking distance! I decided to wear my new favorite dress from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale on our day trip to Soho.
I got this Topshop Stripe Midi Wrap Slipdress for an amazing deal from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This dress is so comfortable and very flattering. The downward facing stripes that meet in the back give your body a really nice shape. I love the colors that they chose to put in this dress, they allow you to mix a lot of different colored accessories if you wanted to.
When I was packing this outfit for New York, I couldn't decide if the stripes were blue or black, so I decided to play it safe and wear my Blush Halogen Lace-up Flats. Because of the neutral color of these shoes you can match them with pretty much any outfit. They also match the stripes on this dress almost perfect!
I decided to keep my accessories simple and let the dress and the shoes do all of the work. I wore my Kate Spade Gramercy Grand watch with two of my Alex & Ani bracelets. I love these bracelets and this watch because they are simple and delicate enough to make any outfit look pretty. I used the Rebecca Minkoff Mini Love Crossbody that I found from a thrift store while I was in New York.
While I was in the City I had to stop by the Manus x Machina exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This exhibit had the most beautiful clothing from many different designers and showed how the use of machines (machina) and the work by hand (manus) can create stunning couture and prêt-à -porter (manufactured for mass wear) clothing. The wedding gown that I am standing in front of, is one of the Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel Haute Couture designs, and it is the center of the exhibit. If you are in New York City before this exhibit ends I definitely suggest checking it out.
