Ready for one of my last style diaries for NYFW?
I’ll admit that my silhouettes and hemlines have been on the saucy side this Fashion Week, so for day 5, I decided to reign it in with a more demure knee length kelly green A-line number by Prabal Gurung (courtesy of Rent the Runway).
I was going for an editor/Jackie O type vibe, so kept everything simple, accessorizing with Kate Spade Gumdrop studs, my Prada sunglasses, and my Givenchy bag (I dunno if you can tell, but I get a lot of use out of my investment pieces).
I added interest with my new babies: a pair of Valentino zebra haircalf shoes with a reasonable kitten heel.
Then I was off to attend a whopping 5 shows.
I have three shows today, then I’m off to London on Friday!
At any rate, the somewhat long, demure silhouettes is clearly not one of my go-tos, but I think it worked.
What do you think?

Super cute Claire. Love the dress and those earrings are adorable. What a life a blog has created. Go girl!

Claire you are working it in the last two photos…and that waistline is snatched. Yes mam!
September 12, 2012 11:33 am
I love the last PHOTO…You look amazing Claire!!!

Claire I love this look minus the shoes! A taller heel will elongate your legs anything less than 3 inches make any lady’s gut stick out and her legs look like tree trunks! Plus that pointed toe is not cute.

gorgeous. love the color and cut on you.

I love the dress but I don’t like the shoes with the dress. Loving the sunglasses and the bag as well.

Claire–is that the Azealia lipstick? I love it!

@Khadijah No, it’s YSL Pourpre Divin. It is divine!
Haven’t had much time to respond, but thanks for the comments, good or bad.
I didn’t know, but Valentino makes the shoe with a higher heel! Would have bought those. Sad. At least the kitten is more comfy.
At any rate, thanks for reading guys, that alone is enough. xoxo

Of all your style diaries, this one looks the most like YOU. You look super relaxed and comfortable. The color compliments you, the dress is super flattering and it looks EFFORTLESS, which is so important to great style. Simple and chic works so well for you. Well done, hun!
September 12, 2012 12:15 pm
You look great as usual! But…… the shoes! I can’t get with them… Love you still! xx

A-line fits your body nicely. A statement necklace may have been nice with this dress since the neckline is so high. Love the color.
September 12, 2012 12:21 pm
This look is very different from the rest, but you still look great. I can’t get enough of this hair, honey. You better work it out.
September 12, 2012 12:24 pm
You look fabulous! Everything from your hair to the heels are a perfect A++++
September 12, 2012 12:46 pm
You look Hawt..
September 12, 2012 12:48 pm
That’s a hot dress! Though I’m not typically a kitten heel fan, (I even went in on a FBD post a few months back) I do really love them in the Valentino variety. They are especially chic with skinnys. I can’t say how much I LIVE for your braids enough. They look great on you!

I likie! The shoes I would never have chosen but that’s what makes stylish to me. It’s your style interpretation and I’m digging it! SN: I looove how u dress for ur body type! You make a fellow size 12 sister proud!

THOSE SHOES ROCK CLAIRE.
September 12, 2012 1:12 pm
You look freakin’ amazing, this silhouette works for you and what a statement to braid your locs; mine are too big to achieve that look.
September 12, 2012 1:13 pm
I think I wanna try those braids! I have locs too and had NO idea this can be done!! Claire you look amazing! So beautiful and effortless! I wanna be like you when I grow up (Im 29, not too late right? lol)
September 12, 2012 1:21 pm
I’m trying to figure out how you got that rent the runway dress to fit like it was tailored just for you. It’s why I’ve shied away from getting anything from that site. That dress fits you like a glove tho. I might be persuaded to give it a whirl after I drop this baby in January.
And you are dew-in it with those braids.
September 12, 2012 1:29 pm
Do it!!
September 12, 2012 1:44 pm
Claire, are you opposed to v-necklines? Just asking. I thought the Helmut Lang tank you wore the other day was quite flattering on you. I’m not a fan of the neckline on this dress on you!
BUT you still look fabulous and very chic. And your braids are just… ugh, I love them. :D
September 12, 2012 2:08 pm
The Rockstud pumps do come in a higher heel height but these are the most comfortable version imo. I can wear mine all day before they start to hurt. I love the longer hemline on you.
September 12, 2012 2:37 pm
Claire I love this look on you…so chic!
September 12, 2012 3:23 pm
love this dress on you.
September 12, 2012 3:24 pm
I love the more demure look on you better! You rocked this outfit!
September 12, 2012 3:44 pm
i think you should do v necks or lower cut necklines with your bust size
September 12, 2012 4:42 pm
Claire, you look great. This ‘fit tops all the others!
September 12, 2012 5:24 pm
love.it.all
September 12, 2012 7:37 pm
Can that bust area be any tighter??
September 12, 2012 9:27 pm
I very rarely comment….But you look amazing Claire!
September 12, 2012 10:50 pm
Claire, you’re totally my fashion inspiration since we have similar body types. You look amazing!

not trying to be all nosy, but did bloggers receive those shoes as a gift because i see other bloggers all wearing them around the same time.
September 13, 2012 9:13 am
