This week's first June look mimics the location in where we shot: The Highline. With straight leg cuts and structured silhouette, it's safe to say that I went for something a little avant-garde for a typical summer day (but that's the fun in fashion, isn't it?!) The Highline (sans it's lushy green grasses that border much of the walk) is pretty darn structural, as it's lined with many straight edge townhouses and apartment buildings (including one massive Zaha Hadid edifice that has yet to be completed). But it is these sparkly glass buildings and concrete escapades that make the Highline what it is—a walkway framed by these Manhattan ziggurats. And if that's not an ode to structure and contrast, I don't know what is.
Sticking to stark contrast, low light and lines, I started with my beetlejuice pants, as I like to call them, and added a soft pink Urban Outfitters dress on top. The straight skinny leg of the pant compliments the boxy but almost liquid affect of the dress nicely—which I love. Finally, I added a long black Forever 21 jacket on top with a simply black ribbon choker and strappy Sam Edelman's to tie the look together. Just another true test that style inspo can really come from what's around you.

That monthly changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable."
