As you can see from the pictures, New York is in full bloom, and it is turning into a beautiful spring in the city (finally!).Β  Today’s weather reminded me just how lucky I am to live one block from Central Park.Β  The lush green trees, clear blue sky, and bright flowers made for a striking backdrop for my outfit.

Walking around the city today in this head to toe neutral outfit made me feel sleek and sophisticated.Β Β  There is something so refreshing about classic colors and silhouettes that feel so “Uptown”.Β  Although I love the pristine look of all white, I felt that it was a little too early and I was a little too pale to go all the way, so I added in shades of ivory and tan.Β  The longer structure of the beige blazer balanced out the narrow crop pants nicely and the metallic top added a just the right amount of shine.

I stuck to white and gold jewelry to carry out the clean, minimal look and let the LAI handbag be the real showstopper.Β  There isn’t anything more sophisticated than a structured crocodile bag, and I love the way the darker shade of taupe popped against the white pants.
