i'm in a new york state of....freezing....

...and you would think i built up a more admirable tolerance living in Chicago for 3 years. but whatever tolerance i had, it's long gone by now. or just absolutely frozen on account of the incredibly rude temperatures nyc has been experiencing. 

i know this term has been on repeat for the past week but, polar vortex. seriously. that is the most succinct way to sum it up.

anyways, i blame the aforementioned term on the reason why i haven't worn anything remotely stylish so far this week. i know, i know, a lot of you are exceptionally talented at looking trendy and terrific even with a -12 degree wind chill, but im still a newbie at all this and ive basically been living in sweatshirts layered over zip-up hoodies plus a pair of winter leggings from american apparel (you might be doubtful about american apparel being able to create an item of significant warmth and/or coverage, but i assure you these leggings are intensely insulating).

but THEN, today, i received a little something in the mail - something that i treated myself to as an early birthday present. so in case anyone's keeping track, this week it's been 3 unstylish looks, 1 winner:

Rebecca Minkoff Tee


ny, i love ya, even at your most brutal
