spring 2011 new york fashion week

after sifting through 4,944 runway pics from new york fashion week (i didn't just randomly type in that number, i actually kept track, believe it!), i decided to share 12 looks, focusing on stuff i'd actually buy and add to my closet right now. eeks, that's a 0.2% yield.

i also definitely saw a bunch (not tons, but a good number) of pretty things, especially frothy, flowy, sparkly gowns, but figured i have no occasion to wear any of those and real fashion blogs cover the pretty stuff already, so anywho ...

first, some wearable dresses: alice + olivia ... ADAM ... lela rose ... ports 1961

and some fun tops: ADAM sweater ... lela rose cardi ... marc blouse ... tracy reese jacket

and a couple outstanding skirts: bibhu mohapatra ... DKNY

ok, i lied. one gown i'll pretend i have occasion to wear: donna karan

and this. i could wear this year-round: derek lam
