Layer Cake - New York Fashion Week Outfit Deets : Day 1 [Filler Post]

 

Been a little quiet on the Eastern Coast lately (on my end anyway). Even if you have been living under a rock, you would know that New York Fashion Week ended last week (Hurray!). I've been digesting what I saw and don't feel it's appropriate yet for me to get in on the fray of writers who are sharing their opinions on the collections (very similar to the whole "love" scenario I talked about a few posts ago). Encouraged by the lovely Izzy of The Dandy Project I spent my sunday trying to take those annoying self-timed photos of my outfits because I am just THAT into myself. I only really have 3 days worth of ensembles to show and tell because, well I have school and a job. And 3 days is plenty for someone in my position... Anywho onward to day 1: If you haven't noticed by now, I am somewhat of a schizo when it comes to getting dressed. Hence the name of the post, "My name is Brandon, and I'm a layeraholic" - your queue to say "Hi Brandon!"

Friday - Seven Layers and Counting

Had a very interesting day in which I needed to go to a Photoshop class in the morning, work (and our presentation) in the afternoon through evening, concluding with a crazy party at The Tribeca Grand Hotel till 4 am... Now, I am one of those people who carries way more than is necessary, and it spills over into the way I dress too (so it's no wonder I love the Winter so much...).  In this case, I thought it would be a good idea to deconstruct all the layers instead of just posting one shot as each layer seems to get more and more interesting... For your viewing pleasure I've included pretty much the only song I remember dancing particularly crazily too:

Home (RAC Mix) - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

 

Feeling toasty yet? [Final Home Hood, Issey Miyake Cloaklet, Zara Scarf]

Inside clothes [Kansai Yamamoto Jacket]



With a portal in the back! (My header for this post is a closer look at said door) There will be a more in depth look at this wondrous Ebay find in another post. For now feel free to admire its lovely construction in the back and sleeves. Yumm!



Party Time! Got worried someone would steal my soul door (that's what I'm calling it and I won't hear a word of how weird that is!) [Ivan Grundhal green jacket]



Still too many layers (I don't drink and everyone thought I was off my rocker, still haven't figured out what happened that night...) [Y-3 Long sheer black cardigan, Ivan Grundhal tulle cardigan, Topman long black henley]



The day after... Headache and pain all over. Somehow I ended up down to this layers going mad crazy that night... Someone tell me what happened again? [Uniqlo flannel shirt, Ivan Grundhal skirt, Mesh leggings bought in Hong Kong, over Miami wallpaper print leggings from Beacons Closet and finally my trusty Alejandro Ingelmo sneakers]
