In Sarah Marie Day’s Closet — Early Fall Outfits I’m Wearing in NYC
SEPTEMBER MIGHT JUST BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MONTH IN NEW YORK! EVERYONE IS RETURNING TO THE CITY AFTER THEIR SUMMER ADVENTURES ABROAD OR IN THE HAMPTONS, THE TEMPERATURES ARE FINALLY DROPPING, AND THERE ARE TONS OF EXCITING EVENTS HAPPENING DURING FASHION WEEK AND CLIMATE WEEK. DRESSING DURING EARLY FALL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS — YOU CAN WEAR BALLET FLATS AND LOAFERS AND FINALLY ADD SOME LAYERS AGAIN. AS THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF LUMÉRA, I AM ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SUSTAINABLE BRANDS, VINTAGE STORES, AND RENTAL PLATFORMS. THIS MONTH, A FEW OF MY CLOSET FAVORITES ARE A BROWN KNIT DRESS FROM REFORMATION, A LINEN SET FROM FACETTES STUDIO, HAIR CLIPS FROM MIRTH VINTAGE, A WHITE COLLAR SHIRT AND TENCEL T-SHIRT FROM THE SCANDINAVIAN BRAND ASKET, AND BALLET FLATS FROM THE BERLIN-BASED BRAND AEYDE. GET READY FOR LOTS OF MINIMALIST CHIC NEW YORK CITY STREET STYLE LOOKS BELOW!
