On the Street.....Bold Layers, NYC

This look is taken to a whole new level with the unexpected layer of bold blue in a basically neutrally colored/colorless look.

Again, if you take this photo as inspiration you can achieve a similar feel at almost any price point, in almost an city around American or the world.

Maybe the coat is replaced by a green parka or the shoes are different, the specifics of the look matter less than the idea of what a brilliant pop of unexpected color can do to elevate a look.

To me, that is the inspiration of a look like this, the actual cost of the items or the fact that she is an editor is irrelevant.
