Inspiration NYFW: Karen Walker winter accessories

"I’m the polished girl next door with a champagne lifestyle on a beer budget."

I'm going to freely admit I have a tendency to become obsessed with things, and when it comes to fashion it often 

results in an idea in my head of, for example, the perfect beanie. I'll think about how I want it to look and trawl through

 physical and online stores looking for the one that fits my idea. More often than not I am left disapointed, either due

 to the fact I can't afford what I want or I simply cannot find it anywhere. A couple of years ago I knitted a chunky scarf

 as a result of this problem and loved it so bought some extra wool with the idea I could make a hat from it. After much

 time passed. I started to fall in love with a beanie idea; rib, cable and pompoms all stemming from photos I had

 seen of the youtuber Zoella and Perrie Edwards from Little Mix in their cozy stylishness. After much searching I gave

 up and found a pattern online to knit one. Two weeks later I now have two new beanies, knitted ones for my mother

 and sister, and bought some wool for another. oops #obsessed

I dont often wear the matching hat and scarf together but I was looking through the NYFW photos a while back and spotted

 this look in the Karen Walker show. Looked kinda familiar and inspired me to style an outfit inspired by the look;

 matching hat and scarf, sunglasses, socks and booties, pinky orange tones, polka dots. But the twist to this being 

its the student budget friendly version consisting of things I already own (a lot of which were on sale at the time!)
