As recently discussed with my girl Amber (while in ANGUILLA), I've been ALL about SILK in recent months. If it's (a frock, that is) NOT silk, I have little to no desire to buy it, and even less desire to WEAR it. The reasons are simple - silk is comfortable, cool and chic - in fact (and yes, I do believe it to be a FACT and not an OPINION), the fabric instantly elevates even the simplest silhouette into a garment appropriate for work or play.
Take the sweet Yumi Kim Tulip Skirt seen above. In case you're not familiar, New York designer Yumi Kim is an absolute expert in showing silk who's BOSS. In fact, her entire Lower East Side shop is stocked with every manner of solid and printed silk - dresses, blazers, blouses, jumpsuits, skirt rompers and beyond. I've lived next door for just over two weeks, and I've already dropped close to 1k (yes, that's a 1 with three zeros) on her affordable yet entirely delicious silk creations.
Head to toe, here's how I wore my latest Kim acquisition:
- Tom Ford Jennifer Sunglasses in Green (no longer available, other colors here)
- Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Open Bottle Pendant (Gift)
- Old Navy Perfect Rib-Knit Tank
- J. Crew Giltter Belt (no longer available)
- Yumi Kim Tulip Skirt in Geo Teal
- Loeffler Randall Vivan Lace-Up Wedge in Nude Suede
- Cambridge Satchel Co. 11" Satchel in Flourescent Pink
What are your feelings on silk? Is my adoration warranted? Give it to me straight in the comments.
