What It's Really Like at Fashion Week, From Someone Who Just Went

On the very first day of New York Fashion Week, there was a blizzard. I chose to wear a suede skirt and boots that day. I definitely would have received a few "What was she thinking?" stares on my morning commute had the trains not been empty because of the snow storm. For the rest of NYFW, I didn't really dress for the weather — wearing slippy shoes was just the start. When you're hailing a taxi to and from shows, however, you can get away with not-so-practical Winter looks (yes, that's the secret of street style). I don't regret a single outfit or cold finger.
