Boxy Denim and Leather

Over the weekend, I decided to work on parsing my closet down when I re-discovered this boxy denim top I got from The Frankie Shop in the Lower East Side – another piece that I forgot to pack with me to Europe.  I'm not exactly sure what compelled me to start tossing out the beloved billowy and boxy silhouettes, but thankfully I snapped out of my insanity and started to reconsider my intentions for such bipolar behavior. The truth is, I came back from fashion month rather self-conscious about my body, it doesn't quite the same recovery time as it once did.  Basically, visiting Paris and Milan, with no game plan in mind except committing to an all-carb diet is no longer sustainable.  So being the drama queen that I tend to be, I decided to deny my body that extra volume added by anything billowy and boxy.  But what I forgot was how said silhouettes can make getting dressed far easier.   Thus prompting me to reconsider whatever it was that I was about to do during my closet purge.
