The silk trench

We don't get many nice spring days in NY (I swear it will be 90 and humid before we know it), so I'll enjoy them while they last. Today was one of them. It was the perfect temperature to wear my silk trench from MaxMara. I know it's not a very practical material for outerwear, but when I first tried it on, I was sold. It's a washed silk so it's slightly more durable, and I kind of feel like I'm getting away with wearing a very fancy bathrobe in public. As for the dry cleaning bills I'll have to look forward to, well... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.



A few weeks ago, I had my hair chopped again. What can I say? Short hair seems to be addicting.



I was thrilled that Everlane launched new warm-weather styles for their silk shirts. I ordered this white tank immediately, along with the bright blue sleeveless button-up. When it gets too hot and muggy for silk, I imagine I'll switch to the new cotton poplin tank that's set to hit in late May.



Now if I could just work some color into my wardrobe!

  3. Accessories totally count for color! Aren't the silks from Everlane heavenly? I just received the rounded collar button up in blush and truly wish I could wear it every single day. And from one short haired woman to another, addicting is the word. Now if I go 6 weeks without a cut I feel like a hairy monster...

  4. I, myself, ordered the gray silk tank just yesterday. I picked up a similar number, but in black, at a small boutique in Paris last year and was pleasantly surprised to see that Everlane has it this year. I thought about the white, but I'm too clumsy and messy (and sometimes blame the messiness on my kid!)

  7. I love the trench! I have just recently go silk crazy and bought a few silk items from banana republic. So providing that trench doesnt do too much damage to my bank card I may add to the list.

  8. I generally like your style, but I'm not digging the pants. It makes you look shorter.

    I'm with you, I have a ton of colour in my closet but LOVE wearing neutrals--I just feel best in them.
