Wine glass in hand, rose scented diptyque candle lit, episodes of Sex and the City playing in the background; I begin to think about Carrie’s life vs mine. There is a level of resonance about her character I can relate to, especially since moving to New York City. Sex and the City will always be influential, not only about fashion and dating, but also about female empowerment. And there is nothing more empowering than a chic and feminine power suit. This Topshop polka dot suit is nothing short of trendy, chic and feminine, while at the same time screaming female empowerment. The days of boring, dark and solid suits are behind us and there are new trends in town.
A power suit, especially a polka dot suit can be a very versatile set in your closet. Any two piece set gives you the ability to mix and match, dress up or down and wear in many different ways. Instagram or Pinterest are perfect sources of inspiration when putting an outfit together. I am always in awe of street style, especially New York and Paris. I love the edgy vs feminine androgynous vibes that a polka dot suit can evoke. The fit and fabric is flattering and chic, especially a set with shorts. I wanted to pair this look with edgy accessories to balance it femininity out.
This outfit is perfect for any girls night out, date or work happy hour, especially at the Nomo Soho Hotel where this photo was taken. If you have not gone here for a cocktail I highly suggest it. Sitting underneath the ethereal greenhouse setting makes for a very relaxing New York City night out.
