Trendspotting: on the streets of NYFW

NYFW was definitely a whirlwind—tons of inspiring designs and beautifully executed clothing—one of my favorite New York seasons collectively to date!  There are a ton of new trends and styles to talk about for next Spring, but sometimes, I find that even more inspiring than the clothes seen on the runway (which won’t be available for several months anyway), are the clothes seen off the runway—outside the shows.

I draw a lot of inspiration from street fashion because the clothing is more relevant to the current weather and what we're wearing right now.  Here are three of the strongest trends I noticed being sported by the beauties outside the tents.  If you’re finding yourself in a seasonal rut right now, try mixing in a wildly patterned blouse, a sexy knee-length skirt or some color blocked separates, which will have you looking ready for fall, without forgoing your summer wardrobe entirely!
