How To Be A NYC Fashionista

8 tips to be #instafab like your fave bloggers

1. Own an oversized, leaning mirror

Put said mirror in front of or next to a window and snap your life away for the perfect #mirrorpic. Extra points if you have white walls and parquet floors

2. Have your Uber driver take your picture.

Better yet, take a #GNO pic in the Uber, and then a group photo on your way out.

3. Don't just stick to Goodwill

Scope out every thrift store you can find (and trust me, there are a lot in NYC). You'll find Gucci shoes for $30, and Levi's for $10.

4. Buy the donut for the 'gram

Yeah, that's a thing. But of course, I endorse noming on the donut too, since it's sweet and delicious, and you deserve it for being you're artsy Instagram self.

5. It helps if your S.O. is a photographer

Or if they're at least camera savvy. Then all you have to do is bring them everywhere you go in case you run into a colorful building, wall, or cute café with fancy latte art.

6. Go bold, or be nude

Because New York City is the one place where it's just as acceptable to wear glitter at 2pm on a Tuesday as it is to rock gym clothes to work on Friday.

7. Invest in a Uniqlo winter shell

You're going to want to wear a ton of cute coats in the winter, but it's so damn cold in New York! Wear an ultra lightweight down coat underneath your cute pea coat or bomber jacket to be warm, but also super warm.

8. Have fun!

The fashion world is dog-eat-dog, and you're going to find that everyone wants to be a part of it. But remember, even if it's on trend, just rock your confidence in whatever makes you feel good. There's nothing like pulling off an early 2000s outfit and making it look like the best damn thing that's happened in 2017! Go forth with confidence you #fashionistas.
