What I'm Wearing:
The whole outfit, from head to toe was bought on boohoo.com :)

Subway Stripes
"Never underestimate the power of the perfect striped shirt."
When strolling around the city, I like to be comfortable and semi-casual. However, being comfortable doesn't necessarily have to mean wearing sweatpants and a hoodie all day.. although there is nothing wrong with that! Since I knew I was going to be walking around quite a bit, I opted for loose fitting pieces that are easy to move around in. I paired my fave leather jacket and black heels to help bring out the stripes in my top.
What I'm Wearing:
- Leather Jacket - Forever 21
- Striped Top - Boohoo.com
- Jeans - Love Culture
- Heels - H&M
