To wear or not to wear? That is the question!<\/p>\n

Every season, the who’s who of fashion take the streets in their best and most curated looks with a “I woke up like this” vibe.<\/p>\n

This season, I created my looks around one singular idea: shopping my closet! This might sound boring to some but challenging myself to style brand new fashion-week-worthy ensembles without shopping for anything new was exciting. I don’t consider myself to be a minimalist per se but I do believe in avoiding excess. I have been shopping my closet and reinventing looks for years. The things I uncover in my own wardrobe will never cease to amaze me! To make things even more interesting I limited myself to one pair of black suede booties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As most fashion lovers, I’ve fallen victim to the “I don’t like this piece anymore”, only to frantically look for that same piece a few months later because for some reason that I can’t explain I HAVE TO HAVE IT! Since this has happened to me more times than I plan to disclose here, I now, think long and hard before discarding anything. To avoid hoarding, I intentionally only shop for new must-haves and needs, not wants. At the end of the day, I only have one body to dress!<\/p>\n

My New York Fashion Week was shortened this year because of travel. I attended events on 3 days. Here is what I wore.<\/p>\n

Day 1<\/span> | Wakanda Forever<\/h5>\n

On day 1, I wore a delicate white shirt with scalloped details by Anna Sui under Mayamiko’s Gaia playsuit. One of the events I attended that day was the Black Panther: Welcome to Wakanda NYFW event hosted by Marvel Studios. To represent the Motherland well, I wanted to wear threads made in Africa and I did. The Gaia playsuit was made in Malawi and embodied the traditional-meets-modern sensibility I was looking for.\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Day 2<\/span> | You can sit with us<\/h5>\n

On day 2, I paired plaid pants that\u00a0 I designed with Gifted Apparel’s IDK IDC t-shirt in red and vintage coat. I accessorized with my mom’s vintage sunglasses and a suede oversized clutch \/ crossbody bag. I also wore red because it was Valentine’s Day. Obvi!\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Day 3<\/span> | La Finale<\/h5>\n

On day 3, I wore an Anna Sui faux fur leopard print jacket with a paisley print shirt from my mother’s closet, a burnt orange lightweight jacket and black leggings. I belted the shirt and lightweight jacket to add structure to the loose pieces and restore my body shape.<\/p>\n
