I'm making it a point to leave my comfort zone [my neighborhood] on the daily and really start to enjoy this city again. If you're a New Yorker then you know the struggle of leaving your neighborhood to meet with friends in different parts of the city. Almost like a game of tug of war, we trade off the hassle of traveling to meet up for coffee dates, nights out, and [window] shopping excursions. Sometimes you just have to give in and in the end, you're happy you aren't sitting at your usual spots. 

Today's neighborhood exploration choice: the West Village. The look: layered cashmere.  Cashmere is an investment that we should all be willing to get into. No matter if it's in our accessories like scarves and even socks, or in our knit and outer-wear, investing in the lux threads is a wise one... and really there's nothing more cozy. As long as you really take care of your goods, it'll keep you warm for years. This J. Crew cashmere sweater and topcoat combo is a no brainer. Something about the earth-tones that warms me to my core while I'm out exploring the tundra that is NYC this week. 

If you're around the West Village you'll definitely be seeing me sporting this look while I'm running around documenting some of my favorite spots of this hood on my Snapchat... oooor you could just follow - @trendstyled - and enjoy from the comfort of your warm bed ;].
