The slightly minimal undertone of the fall collections in NY has tickled the minimalist in me. Start off with a utilitarian looking, Jill Sander-esque top from Topshop (www.topshop.com), which you should tuck into this wonderful 80s Montana leather skirt (www.designerexposure.com). Be a sheep and pair it with black Falke tights and some cone-heeled Donna Karan pump (www.zappos.com)
That said, please refrain from Beauty Pageant-ifying this look with ringlets and Gisele-waves. Go for a sleek, austere ponytail and maybe a red lip. It may be slightly intimidating, but it’s not like your dressing for the boys any way.
