Claire’s Life: My Talk at FIT with B.R.A.G (The Black Retail Action Group)

I believe the children are the future, so was super excited when Leia Mandeville of FIT’s Black Retail Action Group invited me to speak to undergrads about my fashionable experiences:

It was great fun to take a look back at my career, and also offer nuggets of knowledge to the next generation of industry insiders.



I’ve been alllll about spring, even though the weather here in New York demands otherwise. At any rate, I slipped on a full Topshop look, including a knit metallic flecked peach sweater and a matching Premium Silk Shimmer pleated dip hem skirt:


I’m really feeling the pastel trend!
I completed the look with my new Stuart Weitzman Capsize Mary Jane Pumps in Blush Pink, and picked up on the shoe’s silver accents with vintage white sunglasses and silver leather hoops by Seville Michelle Anastos (who we wrote about here).

I threw my ipad, iphone, and other particulars in my summer Stella McCartney Falabella Tote (it’s a little busted by now).

And voilà!
Afterwards, I popped by La Bottega to nosh, blog a bit, and comb through lots of wonderful comments:

And there you have it.

What do you think?
