She lent me one for Art Deco weekend.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-noted-from-the-ues#post-1983053 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 03:35:54 +0000 Jaime 1983053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Brooklyn report will be something else.

People over here on the West Side generally don’t dress that way, though you see it occasionally along Central Park West.

In the street, everyone’s mixing. The maga guy with the placard, hordes of tourists speaking a multitude of languages, more diversity that I’ve seen in ages living in the upper Midwest.</p> <p>But off the street, restaurants, shops, any place that straddles private/public, are usually white and likely wealthy. Crossing the threshold gives all sorts of feels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-noted-from-the-ues#post-1982801 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 05:44:36 +0000 Bijou 1982801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't help but feel a little sorry for the trophy wife despite her seemingly glamorous life, sounds like she is a caricature of what she thinks a New Yorker should be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-noted-from-the-ues#post-1982796 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 05:24:42 +0000 taylor 1982796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought the same thing anagybe, ..the tutu , the fur..:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-noted-from-the-ues#post-1982793 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 04:50:27 +0000 annagybe 1982793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome report!!!<br /> Though I’m kinda surprised &amp; yet not surprised the Carrie from Sex &amp; The City look still exists </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-noted-from-the-ues#post-1982789 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 04:23:59 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1982789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Nicely done.

I saw a fur stole on a dude in a shrunken suit when last I was in the Big City. It was probably his auntie's...or thrifted. Saw dozens when I was in the thrift stores this past week.

The owner one stool over, mistress of the universe archetype, eats her tagliatelle before heading back to the coalface.</p> <p>Older man escorts much younger wife down 5th Avenue. She is clad in a moncler puffer, golden goose star trainers and a tutu skirt that I’m sure I’m supposed to recognize swinging her birkin.</p> <p>2 hour stroll to see the Christmas windows. Total number of birkins seen in the wild, 5. Total number of furs seen, countless. Faux fur has not made it to this part of the world.</p> <p>Stay tuned as your intrepid reporter goes to Brooklyn tomorrow. </p>
