And with the winter and lack of funds and all, it's been a long while since I've been desperately seeking anything. So I figured it's about time I started building on what I already have and also bring in some early spring pieces to brighten things up a bit. My approach is to always have a few pieces to mix and match and basically plan out my outfits ahead of time as not to have major pre-show anxiety and inability to leave the house because I can't wear a thing besides yoga pants. </p> <p>What I'm thinking is a mix of knits and lace to evoke the romanticism of mid February (there are shows on Valentine's Day and all), a few soft tops to mix with tight black pants and skinny jeans, a pair of black all purpose ankle booties (Forever 21 happens to make my most favorite ones, and I had looked EVERYWHERE), high wasted paper bag trousers to mix with tanks and cardigans and some of the afore mentioned soft tops, delicious fingerless cashmere gloves to get you from Bryant Park to Milk Studios warmly enough and still being able to twitter constant updates, and yet another all purpose black accessory a fold over black bag. And let's add to that a long sleeved red dress for those party nights. It's a mix of Alexa Chung with 90s minimalism that's sure to blend in with the rest of the pieces in my ever expanding, ever useless wardrobe. </p> <p>After all, Fashion Week is as much about looking fabulous and getting a chance to play around with your look as it is about taking in the newest trends catwalk side. </p> <p>Check out where to find my picks after the jump... <a href="/Desperately-Seeking-Fashion-Week-Fundamentals-7215323#read-more" title="Read more." class="read-more">more, more, more...</a> http://www.itsonlyfashion.net/Desperately-Seeking-Fashion-Week-Fundamentals-7215323#comment Fashion Week Desperately Seeking NYFW NYFW 2010 FW 2010 FW 2010 Fashion Week shopping report Fri, 05 Feb 2010 06:01:34 PST its only fashion http://www.itsonlyfashion.net/Desperately-Seeking-Fashion-Week-Fundamentals-7215323
