My look for Day 2 of NYFW FW20 was all about a trend I’ve been coveting.

The Bermuda shorts suit isn’t new – it first became popular a couple seasons ago – but I’m finally at a point where I know how to style it to make it work for me.

Enter statement boots.  When this trend debuted everyone was pairing it with Dad sneakers.  I just couldn’t get on board.  While I love the menswear vibe and 80’s inspired look of Bermuda shorts, they need a chic touch.  For me, that’s footwear that turns heads.  Something with a heel.  Something tall.  Something bold.

I scored these boots on sale after coveting them for months.  There are still a few sizes left, but there’s another affordable option here (30% off and also come in black).

Worn with my vintage leather trench (yay for sustainability!) and one of my favorite handbags, the look is super polished but also means business.

During NYFW I talked about how I couldn’t believe so many people were wearing shorts.  While I had a back-up plan for this look (pleated trousers), all of my NYC friends said the weather was actually quite mild.  So this look would have worked perfectly.

Okay, okay.  I know I didn’t actually get to attend NYFW this season, but I still wanted to share my looks.  Since my suitcase was packed and ready to go prior to having to cancel, it was only fair to let these beauties shine.

My goal for this season of NYFW was sustainability.  I wanted to reuse what was already in my closet.  So most of what I’m sharing is something you’ve seen before, but styled in a new way.

I did acquire a few new pieces as Christmas gifts or end-of-season sale scores, but 80% of what you see pays homage to sustainability.

First up is this amazing technicolor dream coat.  I’ve worn it to NYFW before, and it never disappoints.  Warm, great for layering, and such a statement, it was made for the street of NY.  When I first saw it debut in Roksanda’s collection 4 years ago I almost fainted.  The patchwork design and color choice made me so happy.  It’s a coat that makes my heart flutter.

I wanted to keep the rest of my outfit monochrome, so I paired this embellished denim top with my vintage Levi’s and black boots.  My new favorite handbag had to make an appearance too.
