As the temperature shifts from balmy to bitchy and back, we need to be prepared to ditch the blazer in a flash. This Big-Apple babe gets it exactly right with a tux-inspired jacket, a strapless winter-to-spring floral dress, and tomato-red shoes that have just enough to color to summon up those May flowers.
Here's what to buy—and where to buy it—to cop her style:
Essential #1: Tux Jacket—This shrunken, button-less blazer will always be the perfect staple to throw over a dress or an over-sized button-down.
Theory Bretta Poet Cropped Jacket, $289, available at Bloomingdale's, 1000 Third Avenue (at 59th Street & Lexington Avenue); 212-729-5900
