As of right now, it’s not even fashion week yet. When this article publishes, I’ll be getting ready for the opening show of the official schedule: Nicholas K (you can follow along on Instagram stories or Snapchat for runway life glimpses). But, as of right now, it’s still the day before the first day of NYFW, and somehow I’m already exhausted.<\/p>\n

Tuesday night was a WeWoreWhat x What Goes Around Comes Around NYFW party to get us all in the fashionable spirit. I loved seeing all my blogger friends that I both have met offline and that I’ve interacted with online! I finally got to meet Monika from Violet Roots<\/a> in person, which was awesome considering we’ve been interacting on our blogs for months now! Danielle came by a bit and spoke to the group, and plenty of selfies and photos were taken next to the big Hermes ice cream display (which were rice krispies filled cones).<\/p>\n

It got packed quickly, and a few of my friends and I decided to browse the selection of T-shirts we were standing next to. While we didn’t walk away with any merchandise, I’m going back to the store for the vintage Chanel goodies. They had some fabulous necklaces on display.<\/p>\n

My Wednesday, The Day Before The Official NYFW Schedule<\/h4>\n

I got home pretty late on Tuesday, and feeling fairly exhausted, but I knew I needed to prep for Wednesday. I went to bed at midnight and set my alarm clock for 8:00 am.<\/p>\n

8:00 am:<\/strong> Yay I’m already awake! No alarm clock needed! My first order of business is to make sure I have everything social media related ready for the day since I’m awful at multitasking. I’m really, really bad at it. For example, the night before, I was catching up on feeds and responding to comments on my Instagram, and I legitimately had to stop in the middle of the street on my way to the WeWoreWhat party. Like, just stopped dead in my tracks, pulled off to the side, and started responding. Then I did a second stop to post before I checked in at the party. Anyway, I’m getting off topic. So yes, I woke up before 8 AM and I immediately beelined to my laptop to catch up on emails and tasks.<\/p>\n

\"NYFW<\/p>\n

9:00 am:<\/strong> I’m still on my laptop! I haven’t done my makeup yet or gotten ready. In fact, I have no clue what I’m gonna wear today. The first presentation I’m heading to is at 10:30 am downtown, and here I am sipping away at my cup of green tea. Get it together, woman! I put my camera battery to charge.<\/p>\n

9:45 am:<\/strong> I have successfully applied foundation. Yes! I’ve also eaten an egg sandwich and had a cup of coffee by this point.<\/p>\n

10:15 am:<\/strong> My makeup is done. My hair is done (and by done, I mean in a ponytail). I’m picking out my outfit. I’m organizing an influencer portion of an event on Saturday afternoon (the #hot2adopt party- come on by and say hello to me!), so I’m trying to get my emails together and make sure everyone has all the info they need for the day. I decide I’m not dressing up, so I put on a slip dress, an OAK puffy t-shirt sweater thing over it, and slip on some trusty white Adidas.<\/p>\n

\"NYFW<\/p>\n

10:30 am:<\/strong> I’m obviously not making it for the beginning of this presentation. My husband suggests I take an Uber after I tell him I’m going to walk over there. I graciously accept his uber offer.<\/p>\n

10:50 am:<\/strong> I’m checked in at the show and checking out Claudia Li’s collection. The first look immediately catches my eye. I love the button panel wide leg pants and the soft top accompaniment. The silhouettes are very familiar and relaxed. I love that I can immediately point out a Claudia Li piece as soon as I walk through the door. I do get thrown for a loop when I see some male models interspersed. The clothes they’re wearing fit perfectly with the story of femininity and feelings of freedom.<\/p>\n
