How To Dress Like A Fashion Editor

I don't really think much about how fashion editors dress, but I do like the simple, versatile pieces I saw in this article: "Fashion Editor Gems! What They Really Wear." It's from InStyle magazine, and it includes the exclamation point!



The editors at this mag ponied up their favorite choices for work wear. As the article says, "[Fashion editors] vet more clothing and accessories than even the most obsessive shopper." So they know what's-what when it comes to dressing for work (at least at a fashion mag, in NYC).



I like these pieces, and my own daily "uniform" isn't very different. Maybe I will get a job in the Big Apple?? Let me know what you think of the Editor's Wardrobe:

• Chambray shirt by Madewell. I have a similar shirt and wear it a lot; it gets better the more I wear it. I think mine was from Old Navy, but I can't remember. I agree with the Editors that this is a versatile piece; I wear mine with a pencil skirt for work.

• Black skinnies by J Brand. I like black skinnies, but prefer a long knit skirt or boyfriend jeans, for comfort. And I wouldn't splash out $185 for jeans, but then I am a bit cheap (see here).

• Classic tees in black, white, and gray by Kain. I wear basic tees all the time. For work, I wear them under a cardigan, blazer, or dress. I usually stock up at GAP; their "Body" line is very soft and wears well. These Kain tees look great too, and have a touch of silk in them.

• Studded cuff bracelets are in, in, in. I like these for their simplicity and modern vibe.

This one's from Madewell, and it's only $32.

I like this funky one even better.

• Manolo stilettos. They lost me here. No way am I going to start wearing stilettos at age 58 (don't even listen, feet!). I know there's a mystique about Manolos, and they're well-made and all that, but I don't go over a 2" heel.

It's beautiful, but painful to see. From Sak's.

Have a happy Tuesday, and stay fabulous,
