New York Fashion Week: Day One

Hey lovelies! I am blogging to you in the midst of my #MWFashionWeekend.  Yesterday was a whirlwind, from waking up at 3:57 AM (I wish I could put those numbers in capital letters), to three amazing fashion shows, and of course fabulous meals in between.  I was so blessed to see two shows put on by Fashion Palette at Pier 59, and a show by designer Yuna Yang.  It was my first real taste of the fashion week life, running around to shows, charging my phone at any outlet I could locate and even sitting front row at all three events.  I had to start my weekend off with a bang, so I went with pleats and ruffles.  This Asos top (shop here) looks so chic and expensive, from the bird print to the fuchsia ruffle I felt very Gucci.  I also loved that it was slightly cropped making it the perfect length to sit right at the waistline of my skirt, no awkward tuck-in bunching here!  The pleated skirt (shop here), also by Asos, is everywhere right now and I loved this rich brown color.  To complete my granny-chic look I went with a Topshop gold kitten heel (shop here), I paid $60 for these and they are now on sale even more and are $24, I'm a little salty about it TBH but I want you to get the steal.  For accessories I stuck to my staples, Princess the Purse, oversized hoops (shop here), and oversized sunnies (shop similar).   Stay updated on Snapchat (danimikay) and Instagram (mermaidwaves) for moment by moment Fashion Week updates.
