Dressed In All Black Like the Omen. If the Omen Also Wore Plaid, Too.

OK—so many things about this post. They say all-black is the quintessential New Yorker uniform but even as a native New Yorker, I find myself seldom wearing all-black looks. Perhaps it’s the Caribbean in me (my parents were born in Trinidad)…lol. Another thing leather (pleather in this case) pants can be tricky—in several shots it looks like I’m packing…lol. I could have edited it out, but whatever…lol. Also these pics were taken on a day when it was pretty mild here in the city. If there’s one thing I don’t do it’s not wearing the right coat and shoes when it’s cold. That NYC wind chill factor will have you all inside your feelings…lol.

Oh wait—one more funny thing. I started wearing sunglasses in my outfit pics because it’s SO much easier especially since I’m not squinting when I’m outside and then if I have a shot where everything looks cool and then my eyes are doing something crazy, the sunglasses can camouflage. But you should hear some of the hilarious things my friends and family are saying about them. One friend told me I need new sunglasses because I’m always wearing these Celiné “Shadow” sunglasses…lol (funny because I literally have like 30 pairs of sunglasses but these are always in my bag—shoot and I really like them…lol) and then my sister rolls her eyes every time she scrolls through my outfit posts and I have them on…lol. So much shade for my shades…lol. Whateva!
