So, I planned my con outfits carefully. I started watching the weather closely as far in advance as I could. I searched through the depths of my closet to ensure I wouldn’t have to go on yet another shopping spree, and I did pretty well. (Turned out I already owned everything except for a cardigan I needed to buy for the season anyway.) And finally, when the weekend came, I had four, perfectly planned-out outfits for NYCC. Here’s what I wore!
Note: Bad lighting brought to you by unpredictable weather!
Day 1
The weather called for rain on the first day and I refreshed my app obsessively to ensure I was prepared. I wanted to mix cute and cozy for my favorite “rainy day look”. The skirt was a perfect choice in the event that I got caught in any downpour. Nobody wants to sit walk around in damp jeans all day! (Update: it didn’t rain until I left that afternoon, but I still felt cute and comfy all day. Win-win.)
Top: Jordandené Scoop Neck
Skirt: ASOS Curve
Cardigan: Universal Thread by Target
Tights: Torrid
Boots: Doc Martens
Umbrella: Abandoned at a West Village bar two years ago. It’s mine now. #NoShame
Day 2
I wanted to showcase a different Jordandené product at our booth on Friday, so I planned this outfit around one of our hats. Since I didn’t feel like doing anything with my hair, it was the best choice. I didn’t intend for this look to turn out as 80’s-inspired as it did, but I’m not mad about it. Catch me in Stranger Things season 3, maybe?
Hat: Jordandené
Tee: Charlotte Russe
Overalls: Maurices
Pins: Jordandené
Sneakers: Very well-loved and worn-in Converse
Day 3
Cooler temperatures were predicted for Saturday, so I figured it was the perfect day to break out one of our sweatshirts. (Of course, as someone who gets warm really easily, I still wore the matching tank underneath, but luckily, I was comfortable all day! Yay!) Plus, what’s cuter than a collar under a crew neck?
Sweatshirt: Jordandené
Collar: Amazon. Yes, it’s just a collar. Again, I get warm really easy, so there was no way I was wearing a button-up underneath. Luckily, these exist and give me the same look.
Skirt: Tuesday Bassen (Shout-out to my fav designer. She’s badass and size-inclusive and everything I’ve ever bought from her shop fits like a dream so go check her out!) Also? It. Has. Pockets!!!
Tights: Torrid
Shoes: Doc Martens
Day 4
The final day. I got to sleep in for the first time that weekend and my god, did I need it. As with every convention, I was totally drained on Sunday. We also had to pack up and load out our booth that night, so I allowed myself to wear something practical and comfortable. (But still cute as hell because thank god for the athleisure trend.)
Tank: Jordandené
Leggings: Fabletics. These also have pockets. That’s right: leggings with POCKETS.
Flannel: Found in a Brooklyn thrift store. Woo!
Bralette: Lane Bryant
Sneakers: Nike
