District Closets: Q&A w Anchyi of Anchyi @ Work
on
Sep 16, 2014
Anchyi's style is so unique! I'm personally a huge fan of her shoe and jewelry collection. Every time I see her at events in the city, Anchyi manages to look flawless without exaggeration! She was also just featured as one of the Women of Style in the latest issue of DC Magazine!
1. How would you describe your personal style?
My style preference is bit of an oxymoron - either More is More or Less is More. Over-the-top, glitsy accessories on bold mismatched prints, or super-clean minimalist lines. I also love vintage and avant-garde. Style is a way of communication - I try to let my outfits tell a story.
2. How does DC inspire your day-to-day style?
Because fashion in DC is still on the conservative side, it inspires me to stay true to myself and not be afraid of what others think. When I walk into my conservative office at a Federal agency, instead of sticking to the unspoken dress "code" I choose to look how I want to look. In turn, it actually has inspired others to do the same!
3. What are some of your favorite places to shop in the DC metro area?
I'm mostly an online shopper, but I do enjoy the consignment shops (Secondi!) and vintage finds (Pretty People) in the DMV area.
4. You have the closet that any fashionable girl would die for, what are your wardrobe staples?
Great pair of nude heels, black shoes with an edge like these by Azzedine Alaia, comfortable and flowy kaftan, maxi or jumpsuit, and a easy-going neutral grey coat (boxy fit for this fall/winter).
5. Can you give us little hints about what we can expect to see from your collection of pieces at District Closets?
I'm a new mom, so unfortunately many of my fabulous shoes are not getting much love lately. They are yearning for some TLC from a new owner! There will be some hot Louboutins like these, and fun dresses like this Clover Canyon number.
Shop Anchyi's closet this Sat from 5pm to 8pm at Secondi in Dupont Cirle! More info about the event HERE!

As I'm sure you guys can already tell, I'm pretty much obsessed with the leopard print! to me it's like a basic color.
The trousers and blouse came from from Marshalls, shoes are H&M.

Above are some fun photos we took at the H Street Festival on Saturday. It was probably one of the best festivals we've ever been to. We couldn't stay too long since our outdoor brunch went a little bit longer than we anticipated (I mean with the kind of weather we had on Saturday, could you blame us?). But in the few hours we did spend on H Street we decided that next year we'll make it an all day affair and will come prepared and hungry because there were sooooo many delicious food stands!
Hope all of you had a lovely weekend, and wishing you a happy Monday!

Shoes: Converse
Bracelets: Mixed from my store, She's Unique (DM me if interested in any particular one)
The Radiohead concert we went to last night rocked the house and you guessed it, Lotus Flower is one of our favorite songs hence the title of this post :) Every song made me want to get lost in my own mind while simultaneously dancing and channeling my own version of Thom Yorke's dance moves. As far as yesterday's outfit, to me, it's all about comfort at a concert so I wore my converse shoes, jeans and leather jacket. Do you like me channeling my "rockerish" self? haha

Jeans: Gifted Indigo Rein similar HERE
Tank Top: Forever21 similar HERE
Sandals: Steve Madden similar HERE
Purse: Forever21
Let's just start by saying that last night was prob one of the most exciting nights of the year for me! I have been a HUGE Radiohead fan ever since I didn't even speak English lol ... so when i found out they were touring I was on a mission to get those tickets and I sure did! So what does Radiohead's biggest fan wears to their concert??? As you can see, I went for a casual look and it gave me a chance to bring out this Saks Fifth Ave vintage hat out to play. I love that its a bit big for me, it had to belong to a hot boy in the 50's -- I feel it hahaha
