Well I made it! I'm in NYC, staying with the wonderful and extremely nice Ms. Jessica of What I Wore, who, for the record, is uncannily like her blog-sweet and so much fun!
Oh, and she also has given me permission to peruse the WIW closet kingdom. Can it get any better than this? I think not.
Today, though, being my first full day in the big, bad Brooklyn, I decided to hit the streets and find me some good vintage threads myself. Jessica, unfortunately, was a bit tied up with some conference details, so I flew solo heading first to the infamous Beacon's Closet before cruising around to other stores along the way.
The outfit, of course, had to be comfortable, as I knew I was going to be experiencing some humidity that I'm not entirely used to and a lot of walking. You all have seen this dress before, nothing too exciting there. I promise to step it up a notch in the days to come.
On a side note though, I did have some older gentleman today tell me that my hair style made his day. Brooklynites, you're good in my book!
Dress: Slip dress, Kimich and Blue
Shoes: Black ballet flats, Old Navy
Purse: Black leather bag, Old Navy
you look adorable! have fun at the conference!

ps...this is not a tourist spot. Take Jessica as a thanks or something. You will both love it! I recommend this place to all my friends who have never been to NYC before. It is quintessentially NY and I would love to see a post about it from a non-NYer's experience.
O that 1st building looks amazing! I wish we had cool stuff like that in either Oregon or Orange County, but not so much luck here on our end
ReplyDeleteAwesome post. I am excited to see what you girls do over there! Byu the way, your style is getting better and better. Have fun in NYC.

Great pictures! I love going to a new city and finding cool wall art. San Francisco is a great place for this as well.
