In the fall, as the air grows crisp and the days get shorter, it’s always great to have those clothes you pull on again and again. We often spot our friend Gaby, a curator at Etsy, around Brooklyn wearing the most amazing outfits. When she came to our most recent photo shoot, we asked her to share the three looks she’ll be wearing this fall…
Look #1: Mustard sweater, similar shirtdress, sneakers, similar tote
“My fall uniform usually includes a loose sweater; I like feeling comfortable. Even though I’m small, I typically avoid heels in favor of Vans or Converse. I’m always running around, and heels don’t last very long on NYC concrete. I also kind of like being little in a city full of tall people.”
Look #2: Plaid dress, sneakers, similar bag
“I love this dress because it’s so easy. Dresses are great when you don’t feel like coordinating an outfit in the morning. I’m not a morning person, so having to make decisions about my wardrobe can feel like a chore. Having a basic style formula has been really helpful for me.”
Look #3: Skater skirt, sweatshirt, sneakers, necklace, similar bag
“I’m currently going through a skirt phase, but, specifically, I’m obsessed with this skirt. It’s the perfect length and transitions from day to night. I’ll usually add one of my favorite Academy necklaces and Young Frankk rings. I like neutral colors, like the stereotypical NYC girl. Think of Woody Allen movies before 1985: everything is either an earth tone or black. In fact, I’d say Diane Keaton is my style muse.”
Thank you so much, Gaby! We love your style.
