i can’t believe that new york fashion week is already over! this is only the third outfit that i’ve shared with you from my nine day stay in new york, but it was just so hectic and busy that i didn’t have enough time to post them while i was there. not to mention the fact that my return home also welcomed a nasty illness that has had me knocked out for the past couple of days. but it’s monday, so i’ve decided that it’s high time i prop myself up in front of my computer to go through the thousands of photos i snapped during my trip and start sharing them! definitely keep an eye on my tumblr blog for more of my photo coverage.
one thing i was up to was having lots of fun getting dressed up. if there’s one time that you can go all out and have fun with your clothes, it’s fashion week. before leaving for the trip, i had been collecting some special pieces knowing that they’d be perfect for new york. two such purchases were this fox print blouse from opening ceremony and this vintage artichoke print skirt i bought at pretty penny boutique. i had no intention of wearing them together, but after an evening of playing dress up, this eccentric outfit materialized and i decided to go for it. i guess you could say that my entire new york trip was all about taking inspiration from an eccentric old maid. it’s been fun mixing things up with unexpected color combinations and silly novelty prints.
hat: vintage fur hat
top: deyrolle for opening ceremony fox print blouse
sweater: asos cropped sweater
skirt: vintage halston artichoke print skirt
tights: tabio 110 denier tights

I love your colorful mix of prints here — how fun for winter! That fox print is so cool.
Erin, your prints mixing is spectacular. I really love that you’re experimenting with more prints. ♥ This is GORGEOUS. No words can express my love for this outfit. Just a bunch of hearts should do, haha. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Nice Cali. Como siempre, guapísima. Precisísima la camisa. El dibujo y el cuello abrochado.
Guapa!!
I absolutely loooooove this look. All I want for spring are mixed prints!
it’s gorgeous and certainly doesn’t seem eccentric to me
i couldn’t pull it off but you do!!!
i like your foxes! hope you are well maam!
why, thank you mike bogart. i’m still sick, but i’m just fine otherwise. hope you’re well, too.
great prints! i love the whole look :-)
That blouse is phenomenal – such a cute print!
It’s inspiring to see bloggers wearing “risky” outfits instead of exclusively what’s on trend. : ) All the pieces are so different, but come together so well!
I never knew how cute mixing prints could be, and it’s the colors too. OH, and the hat is ADORABLE.
Can’t wait to see your other outfits, Erin.

Love love love the shirt! Amazing.

This outfit is the greatest thing I’ve seen today – no lie!

gramercy park! you lucky girl!
and everytime you wear those JC I kick myself for not buying them when they were on sale!
le sigh.
you are amazing, wonderful inspiration as usual!
also, Jessica, What I Wore, posted a pic of you taking a pic of a model and a commenter said, “I think Calivintage is so recognizable because of her hair” and I couldn’t agree! Thanks to Shannon for your signature look! ;)
doh! I couldn’t agree MORE! I should proof-read before I hit submit… my apologies :(
LOVE IT, there’s been a severe lack of colour so far on the streets of LFW!
That blouse is AMAZING!

I love this outfit! The proportions are great and the fox print and print on the skirt go well together. Plus, the black tights and shoes and neutral accessories balance it out. Really really cute on you:)
Really great outfit! I adore the printed skirt and the mustard/yellow sweater. I have a bit of an obsession with the colour mustard at the moment! :)

Gah!!! Amazing! You look adorable.
The color choices are phenomenal together and I love fox print oxford! You look so quirky and cool!
The fox print pairs so well with your fur hat. This is beyond darling!
Oh my gosh, girl! This is perfect! I can definitely see how you were inspired by all of the designers you have been posting this week! Also, I have been on the lookout for cropped sweaters like this for quite some time. They are just so perfect for layering. Gah! :D
OH MY GOD this is perfection.
adore! pretty skirt. your color combos are brilliant. the yellow just pops
very eccentric, I’m loving the vintage skirt.
wow that’s adorable. the use of classic colours has never been to bright to me before. genius!
oxox
The prints and the colours match perfectly, so colourful and yet so cozy and warm for a winter outfit!
came out great! that artichoke skirt is amazing.
I almost bought that skirt from Pretty Penny, I found the matching top first and they showed me the skirt but I was too lazy to try it on! You look adorable and im totally regretting my decision!
oh man! there was a matching top?!
You are a master of mixing prints. I love this! And that mustard color is so perfect on top.
I LOVE THIS OUTFIT!!! Definitely getting archived in my inspiration folder. You’re a pattern-mixing master. :)
PS-I just happened upon your site today and I thought you should know I’m obsessed. (!)
