Last Thursday evening I had the opportunity to partner with Style Watch and Nautica to kick off Fashion Week and host a fun event at their SoHo store in NYC. If you haven’t stopped by yet, make sure to do so, the store is beautiful and I want to take the gallery wall behind the register home with me! I love the water-inspired theme of all of the classic and timeless pieces for Nautica. And if you are anything like me and have a slight obsession with all things stripes, you are in luck – I found so many great striped options in the new collection.
The event was such a great time, featuring a braid bar, cocktails and 30% off your purchase of $100 or more. It was the perfect opportunity to kick off fashion week here in New York and pick up a few new pieces for your fall wardrobe. I chose to wear this striped sleeveless dress for the event, as I felt it was the perfect transitional piece for summer to fall. The material is slightly thicker than your typical summer dress, which allows it to easily be worn in the cooler months. The humidity was at an all time high, so I kept the dress sleeveless, but can’t wait to toss an oversized sweater on top later in the season.
It was so great getting to meet all of you that were in the city and able to stop by. I love connecting with new people, chatting and answering questions about city life, blogging and styling your wardrobe! A few of my must-have staple items to fill your wardrobe with is a chambray trench, the coziest sweater, and cream colored denim that can be worn after labor Day (hello winter whites). If you follow me on Snapchat (styledsnapshots) you might have seen a striped sweater I picked up for the hubs (and have every intention of borrowing). Nautica has so many great pieces for menswear (that can also work for gals as well).
