Who says a little black dress has to be so… little? There’s nothing little about these sleeves, and it’s just the kind of drama NYC craves. Pair it with some teal stilettos that would make Carrie Bradshaw proud! This is a great opportunity to rock some sparkly, silver jewelry as well.

New York City Look 3: Museums

I’ve been to NYC seven times and without fail, every time I make time for a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While there are masterpieces in every room, I always find myself spending hours examining every detail of the Costume Institute’s Exhibit.

You can’t go to New York without going to a museum and if you want to look the part of an art connoisseur, you have to dress like it. Bring a youthful energy to a tweed look with this green and white blazer dress. Finish it off with some ankle leather boots and on-trend ruched bag.

NYC Outfit 4: Jazz Club

Visiting a Jazz club in Harlem is an experience you’ll never forget. You will feel like you’re being transported to another time! The energy is contagious, the music is inspiring, and you’ll want an outfit that makes dancing fun.

A wrap dress will give you the perfect mobility and coverage for a night of dancing (we have Queen Diane Von Furstenberg to thank for that!). Try using complimentary colors like blue and orange. It may seem extravagant, but it will look good because the color theorists say so. I will warn you however, wear heels at your own discretion. We do love a good sneaker option for a night out.

New York City Look 5: Brunch

“On the Upper East Side, we don’t do breakfast. We do brunch.” You know you’ve seen a show too many times when you can recall from memory the most irrelevant quotes. [Side note: consider taking a Gossip Girl tour of NYC!]
