When can you call yourself a true New Yorker? It depends on who you ask—some say it takes 10 years living in the city, others define it as the first time you blatantly bawl on the subway.

After months of laying low, Taylor has been spotted outside her Tribeca apartment dressed in the key pieces in every New Yorker's wardrobe right now.

While tiny purses look cute, sure, for anyone used to commuting up and down the length of NYC, a practical bag is a must. A cute backpack fits everything you need while still feeling fashionable.

Now you and Taylor Swift both can pull off NYC style.
