Blue, whites and greys  This is a lot smarter than usual – the ripped jeans and beach-like hair helped avoid it being too prissy.

Coat: Madewell (on sale!). See it on me here with trainers and here with giant trousers.  Jeans (DIY ripped): Zara. Blouse: H&M. Boots: Isabel Marant x H&M.  Bag: Chanel.
If you’re after a similar blow out or a good hair stylist in general, I still see Vernelle at Salon V in the east village (last pic). Remember this post two years ago?  If you try them, mention Karen from WDUGT and get 10% off.  She’s anti flat limp hair and knows how to do imperfect cool styles. Basically she get’s it.

ps. This is not a sponsored post. The salon is one of my best kept secrets. Figured I’d share since it is the party season and all that.

      Ah thx was trying to still be casual. Can’t do too dressy. At least not well.

    • Karen says:

      It is but still wearable.

    Awesome! The dressy coat with those jeans is so chic. Cobalt blue is so trendy!

    • Karen says:

      In my head cobalt is a classic. I’ve loved it for years now. A bit disturbing when I think about it

    • Karen says:

      It really is! I was sold soon as I saw it in real life.

    • Karen says:

      Ha ha! It’s a photogenic city.

    Anti-flat & limp and imperfect cool style— sounds like what I need STAT!

    • Karen says:

      I know right? I cannot tell you how many places that I’ve gone to that do pin straight blow outs and the crown of my head is super flat. Its horrible

  25. Lynette says:

    Did you find the boots fit TTS? I usually wear a 9 or 40, should I go for a 8.5/40 or 10/41 ?

  26. Lynette says:

    Love your style and your blog. Did you find that the boots are TTS? I usually wear a 40 or US9, should I go for 8.5/40 or 10/41?

    • Karen says:
