For the past week or so I've been immersed in schoolwork and battling a gross head cold, hence the slowdown, or rather standstill in posts. Most of what I've been wearing these days is comfort driven so while I'm sporting penny loafers and pleated pants, I figured I'd share some more interesting things with you. I still have a boatload of photos from NYFW so over the next couple days I'll be slowly posting any remaining show photos. Apologies if this is just a regurgitation of things you've already seen, I can't believe it's already been a full month since NYFW.

This batch of photos is from Matthew Ames, where I slipped in late but was still able to see the last half of the collection. I'm still not entirely sure if I like this collection, although I definitely loved several individual pieces. I felt it was a departure from Ames' previous work and yet still very much consistent with his established aesthetic. There was that same ease to the pieces but this time they were more wearable (this term is wildly subjective but you get my drift) and modern than before- which of course can be viewed as both a positive and a negative. Although my favorites were of course in black and white, I did enjoy the use of bright colors and color blocking in this collection.
