My 'Carrie' Moment in Newspaper Print



When Carrie Hammer asked me to style her newspaper print skirt, I admittedly thought of this dress and talked my friend Kim into dressing as Carrie Bradshaw-resembling twins with me. Twirling, and holding hands in the cheesiest way possible while skipping down Morton Street in the West Village was completely necessary because when else are you going to have the excuse to 'play Carrie?' Well, Halloween... of course.





On me: Old Navy Tee.  Helmut Lang Blazer.  Carrie Hammer Skirt.  DVF Boots.
On Kim: Old Navy Tee.  Cynthia Vincent Blazer.  Carrie Hammer Skirt.  Coach Boots.

Carrie's ready-to-wear line "was inspired by the fashion forward professional woman. The woman who really loves her job but also really loves fashion. It's meant to be a piece that can be taken from work to weekend because who likes spending all their hard earned cash on boring work clothes?" 


So what do you think, would you wear a newspaper print skirt?

You and Kim are adorable! I would totally wear a newspaper-print skirt. I used to have a newspaper-print tank top that I wore to pieces so it's totally up my alley.
