Weekend Brunch: Emily's Look

Although fashion and getting dressed-up are a part of life, especially in a big city like New York, casual / comfortable styles are by far the most me. So when it comes to weekends, I don't mess around - if I can't walk 3+ miles in it, can't eat eggs benedict and/or a substantial cheeseburger in it, and can't roll around in the grass in the middle of Central Park in it, it's probably not going to make it into my weekend wardrobe. Here is an outfit I wore recently to a casual weekend brunch - walkable shoes (check), loose / super-soft T-shirt (check), already-grass-stained cut-offs (check) - all in all, the perfect weekend ensemble. ;)

While E. tends to stick to neutrals (her closet is a sea of gray, white, taupe, black & navy), a few highly-pigmented pieces do make their way into her wardrobe every now and then.  Case in point, this "hot coral" cardigan she scored from the Gap for $.01 (no joke - there was some kind of labeling error but the very sweet cashier insisted that he had to charge what the register told him - ha!).
