My Outfit Anatomy
Posted on February 8, 2012 by its Chloe
Tomorrow marks the beginning of Fashion Week here in New York and I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to help cover the festivities for Tumblr and Milk Studios, so expect to see a lot of photos of pretty people appearing on my Tumblr page!
I don’t know how I lucked into covering such a high end ordeal, because I would consider my “style” a cross between a bum, a grandfather, and a degenerate from 1995 but I’m going to go ahead and embrace that mix as I frolic through tents and buildings for the next seven days.
If you happen to see me and my camera out and about and want to say hi and give me high fives, heres what I may be wearing!
My hat was made for me last Christmas by Reggie. It was specially made, in black, for our loveably big headed friend Handroll. I loved it so much that I asked for one of my own, but its so big, that its now usually held onto m head with a slew of bobby pins.
I got my sweater for a buck from some crazy old man who was selling a garbage bag full of clothes in front of a Rite Aid in the upper west side. I cut up a Black Flag shirt that I’ve worn to the point of no return, through out the years, and attached it to my sweater with some thread and safety pins
After my personal struggles with my favorite English shoes now being made in China, I finally caved and bought a new pair of Docs. Although the leather is a little weaker and the eyelets are made of plastic and not metal, I can get behind the fact that they cost half the price. Also, I broke them in within a week without bleeding from my heel!
It was a windy 20 degrees, when I put the self timer on a pile of abandon Christmas trees and shot these photos and although I don’t wear a winter jacket, heres the secret to how I kept myself warm.
I’m excited to see how other people plan on keeping themselves warm while showing off their fancy outfits, this week!

I think your style is rocking and is totally you!
I love Reggie’s names for all of the different items in her Etsy shop… Wheat meatballs?? win!
Nothing like buying a crazy old guy’s clothes from a street corner. I hope you washed that thing like 72 times.
Chloe! This sounds like an awesome; I’m so happy for you!
I wore pretty much the same outfit today, except in monochrome black. It’s just about the best way to dress. Great minds!
That would be “an awesome gig”. Despite my incorrect sentence, I’m still really stoked for you!
I was wondering if those heattech clothes were as warm as they say; apparently they keep you toasty, so they should do the trick for me, too. I don’t own any sweaters, save one moth eaten cashmere one which I ADORE. I’m all about greatcoats that come down to my ankles (I’m short) and this scarf I had since I was six!
But your style is totally you and it suits you admirably. Enjoy fashion week!
Your blogs are always fun. Brightens my day. Enjoy.
have you ever thought about remaking the MTM shows for the new century? With maybe AJ or Smo in the Lou Grant role?
