    At the overlap of NYFW’s hustle and bustle and Butter, our frenchie puppy’s homecoming, I decided to fall back to my survival dressing 101 to all occasions as long as, one, I’m not being photographed, and two, no dress code is noted.

    In other words, I have been living in the same five-dollar H&M unadorned, solid black tee, the most comfy pair of worn-in Acne jeans, and the cozy but still height conscious and killer-cool Stella platform oxfords.

    If you have more or less glanced at my InstaStories or Snapchat feed, chances are that you could now be having a mental overload of graphicness from memories of the above ensemble.

    At my last feature shoot with Bloglovin’, I felt the need to drop an ungainly regret for my glam-free outfit that could be an instant terminator of a sound fashion-blogger-proper first impression.

    Well, sorry not sorry.

    I mean, budget styles are economically restful.

    When a pair of four-digit-priced stiletto heels got filed through a sidewalk grate, even if they’re sponsored gifts, a rush of frustration would be an understatement.

    Here I’m economically contented head-to-toe. This belt-sleeved – thank goodness they’re still in – open back maxi knit and these patchwork jeans fitly took me from our brief stop at the beach to a date night in town. In a time when high fashion elbowed onto street, the idea of occasion became blurred. Versatility is more closely than ever allied with affordability.

    Rest assured that originality, a quality value brands are often criticized of lacking, is not going to be mired. I have faith in creative equilibrium and its market spurs.

    That dress is truly amazing – super simple, but amazing. I love pieces that you can just throw on and you’re ready to go.
