It’s been pretty hot in NYC, so I decided to stop the madness with the blazers and sweaters, and go for ease in a simple Balenciaga Sphinx t-shirt from their Egyptofunk collection.
Black and black is always chic, so I accented the look with an Alexander Wang Croc Effect leather mini, but set it all off with white Alexander Wang Joan pumps (previously worn here).
The look skewed a little rocker chic, so I accented with a Tiffany’s cuff, multi metal bracelet, and a cuff from Bruce & Glen. Oh and I can’t forget my go-to Givenchy bag.
What do you think?

Claire you are so beautiful and you are rocking them braids girl!!! I’m think the next time I rock box braids I’m getting color not my normal black.
September 11, 2012 9:51 am

September 11, 2012 9:52 am
Yes Claire!!!!! Living for this
September 11, 2012 9:58 am
cute!
September 11, 2012 10:04 am
Very Cute!
September 11, 2012 10:08 am
You look good Claire, but I have a question: Is there a reason that so many celebrities pose the same way, with their head severely tilted? Is it slimming or something?
September 11, 2012 10:10 am
LOVE everything about this look EXCEPT those white shoes…DEATH TO WHITE SHOES!
but those legs Claire…my goodness, I’ll need to have a serious talk with my trainer tomorow…sighs
September 11, 2012 10:13 am
Everything looks great when you have amazing legs like yours ! Makes me think twice about skipping my body attack and spin class tonight need to get them even more toned to yoru standard lol.
September 11, 2012 10:13 am
yes to your legs Claire! I love the look, can we see a close up of the design on the shirt?
Blessings
September 11, 2012 10:17 am
Love this outfit, my fave so far…can’t wait to see what day 5 brings.

@nina
LOL Thank you…was going to skip my run tonight, thanks Claire!
September 11, 2012 10:25 am
Really dig this, and I LIVE for your braids (my mind is still blown at the fact that your locs are still in tact) I’m getting my hands on that Balenciaga shirt (or sweatshirt) this season for sure.
September 11, 2012 10:35 am
Love the look Claire.
September 11, 2012 10:37 am
Very sexy and rocker, so me ;)
September 11, 2012 10:42 am

I love EVERYTHING…but the shoes. I actually don’t mind that they are white, because they add pop to the outfit, but that pointy-toe. Whew…. The point seems extra long on these shoes. But you look good nonetheless.
September 11, 2012 11:43 am
Black stilettos would have set off the look.
September 11, 2012 11:48 am
The shoes are a miss…but you look good. I think a skater or a line skirt may have flattered your body or a v neck. The outfit makes you look boxxy.
September 11, 2012 11:53 am
@ Christine The severe head tilt highlights bone structure. Jourdan Dunn is the queen of that pose.
September 11, 2012 12:27 pm
The shoes make it hard for me to focus. It’s too harsh. Also, the length/shape of the skirt seems off. You have fabulous legs!
September 11, 2012 12:35 pm
My fav look so far. Hot!
September 11, 2012 12:46 pm
Those shoes are still awful. Great bracelet.
September 11, 2012 12:46 pm
I love this blog, but Claire’s personal style leaves much to be desired.
September 11, 2012 12:49 pm
We see you, bad gal!
September 11, 2012 12:52 pm
YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!
September 11, 2012 12:56 pm
those braids r eevverrrrythinng! i love the look!
September 11, 2012 12:59 pm
Maybe more volume on the bottom to balance the volume on top.
September 11, 2012 1:09 pm
Claire, your braids are EVERYTHING.
September 11, 2012 1:18 pm
Love This!!
September 11, 2012 1:27 pm
Claire! I would have never thought white shoes but you make it look so cute! I think you look amazing! and of course…those gams giiirrrlll!!
September 11, 2012 1:34 pm
A simple black shoe would have polished the look.
Everything else works.
Your braids and legs (of course) are everything !
September 11, 2012 1:59 pm
looking great! I love the braids on you! And I do like the white shoes with it.. :)
September 11, 2012 2:43 pm
Your braids are beautiful . I like this look on you.
September 11, 2012 2:50 pm
You look great Claire!
September 11, 2012 3:00 pm
Beautiful Claire.
September 11, 2012 3:16 pm
I must say that I have never been a fan of box braids before, but they really suit you, and you manage to lend them an air of sophistication. Kudos.
September 11, 2012 3:19 pm
Great look from head to ankle!
September 11, 2012 3:44 pm
@ KitKat! Thank you so much! I’ve always wondered why people like Kim Kardashian and LaLa do it!
September 11, 2012 5:44 pm
Love it Claire boo
September 11, 2012 6:07 pm
GIVE ME YOUR LEGS!!!!!!!!!
September 11, 2012 7:20 pm
Your outfit is the bomb…but if am being honest those white shoes are not doing your legs or body frame justice:( You look great nonetheless.
September 11, 2012 7:27 pm
Those shoes….
Aside from that, touche. :)
September 11, 2012 7:43 pm
Love the look except the shoe. Not simply because they’re white but bc the outfit is all black and the shape of the shoe is unflattering.
September 11, 2012 8:01 pm
Love it all!! The white shoes set it off!! The look wouldve been boring with black shoes. Kudos!
September 11, 2012 8:57 pm
girl, i don’t know what you been doin, but its WERKIN’! OKAY?!
September 11, 2012 9:38 pm
Claire girl Ms.Long hair dont care u look haute im lovin this new look brings out your youth!!!!!
September 11, 2012 10:12 pm
LOOOVEEEEE
September 11, 2012 10:34 pm
Love everything but the white shoes! I am a White dress shoes Hater with a Capitol H! Everything else is the bomb dot com.
September 11, 2012 11:16 pm
Loving this look from the ankle up. That pic with you standing beside the wall….HOTT! Go Claire!
September 11, 2012 11:28 pm
I personally LOVE the white shoes with your outfit! The entire outfit is super dope!
Btw, Will you be attending any of the shows at milk studios?
September 11, 2012 11:57 pm
Whits shoes after Labor Day!? Why not!?, lol. Love the look!
September 12, 2012 12:59 am
I LOVE IT!! You look fab and those…. LEGS! I hate those shoes though! But I just hate white shoes period… not jus those in particular, lolll
I swear those braids are looking better n better with each post! LOVE them on you!
xx
September 12, 2012 5:36 am
I have to agree with you ‘I’llSayIt’. I live for this blog but Claire’s style is very hit or miss. She is such a stunning woman but I don’t feel her personal style at all.
September 12, 2012 11:19 am
Nice, rocker chic look. I am not so sure about the white shoes, but they do offer a contrast to the black look.
September 12, 2012 11:31 am
Your shoe game Claire….they just don’t hit the spot. Your hair is doing the most though!
September 12, 2012 11:31 am
I agree with I’llsayit as well :( . I think Claire is still in search of her own personal style and what looks good on her body. I am smaller than she is but am heavy chested as well and its not easy to shop and style. I really DO like this outfit and loving the box braids!
September 12, 2012 6:18 pm
The WHITE SHOES MUST GO!!!!!!!!!
Other than that, you look fab!
September 12, 2012 7:02 pm
Love, Love, Love! You look amazing Claire!
September 12, 2012 8:42 pm
I actually don’t mind the shoes. But the skirt? Waaaay too short. Your legs are killer. But I don’t dig the vibe on the too short skirt. I like how you always keep it classy, funky, even sassy…But the mini? Not what I want to see a Shero in. IMHO
September 13, 2012 10:51 am
HOLY CHIC! Claire is serving life and afterlife here.
September 13, 2012 2:02 pm
I think people’s love of Claire (because she is truly an inspiration to many of us) clouds their judgement of her style.
September 13, 2012 6:10 pm
Claire..you have great legs, but I’m not feeling this..esp the shoes.
