Hello from New York Fashion Week! I’m blogging from New York during what is literally the coldest day in New York in 20 years. New York hasn’t had this level of wind chill in two decades. Can you believe it? I thought I’d experienced the cold before, having grown up in northern China and going skiing every winter, but this is on a whole other level. My skin is so dry and my hands are getting cracked no matter how much hand cream I put on. It’s been quite the adventure.
I have so many looks to share with you but I’ve had so much difficulty getting wifi the last five days. I’m so glad I have a US data package on my iPhone, otherwise I would be sleeping at Starbucks. Catherine and I have been blogging from a bar across the street the last two days.
For this look, I wore a pair of statement textured booties from Balenciaga with an office-chic long-sleeved plum dress. It’s hard to find long-sleeved dresses – Catherine told me that it’s because sleeves are hard to design and costly to make so brands end up making a lot more sleeveless dresses – so after loving the black version of this long sleeved dress in this post I bought it in plum as well. The zebra booties in this post have been in my wardrobe for a long time and they’re quite the statement piece. They get attention everywhere they go. On the rare occasion that I’ve worn it to the office on a Friday, I’ve received compliments from colleagues who never comment on my outfits and had coworkers come up to me and literally bend down to touch the my booties so they can feel the calf hair.
I hope you are all staying warm and enjoying the start of your week wherever you are in the world. Thanks for following along. I might not have wifi yet, but thanks to a US data plan on my phone, I can still post on Instagram @jennyliublog.
