New York Fashion Week SS 2014....Chiara

Chiara Ferragni from The Blonde Salad blog, after Rag & Bone, NYC, September 2013.

An elegant monochrome look to take you from day into night. I almost feel that it has a tuxedo vibe like Olivia's look here.

Buro 24/7's Miroslava Duma, before A Show, NYC, February 2013.

Over-the-knee/thigh-high boots can be a bit tricky to wear both from a stylistic and fit perspective (those of us who struggle to find boots to wiggle over generous calves have practically no hope of finding a thigh high boot to fit!) but if you have Mira-size thighs, wearing them over super skinny jeans with a sweater is a lovely casual way to style them.
