I knew this was coming. This was one of the very few outfits I had actually planned for New York Fashion Week, but I had a bit of a strange feeling about: either I would be seen as a daring fashionista, or else a complete fashion disaster. You can go ahead and call the fashion…
If there’s one thing you should know about fashion week, it’s that people come for just a few days to a week with stuffed suitcases (often more than just one). This is because it’s just a known thing to change outfits from show to show, and I will admit, while stressful, especially in the cold…

Still, my outfit served me well—I didn’t break even one sweat walking around Santo Domingo because although I was covered, the pieces…
I recently came across a TIME article about the top fashion questions/topics googled within the last year. Inspired by what I read, I thought I would provide my own personal thoughts, anecdotes, and initial reactions.
