Everyday Outfits

I wore the above outfit while enjoy the perfect weekend day in New York City…

After rolling out of bed at the crack of noon, Eric and I started the day with brunch at the Plaza, meandered through Central Park for a spell, and then window-shopped our way up Madison Avenue.  Later on, I met a couple of old friends uptown to watch an outdoor performance of Romeo & Juliet (and managed not to cry for once during the final scene!), and we ended the evening with a few tapas and LOTS of laughter!

How was your weekend?

It seems like I’m on a roll this week with my nautical-themed outfits!  This is yet another another frock that brings back vacation memories as I bought it for my trip to Quebec City last summer.  I had been pining away for a Lilly Pulitzer dress but couldn’t justify the steep price tag since we were saving up our pennies for vacation.  Luckily, the fashion gods smiled upon me, and I happened upon a Lilly Pulitzer flash sale on RueLaLa.  I wound up scoring two dresses for under $100!

Speaking of bargains… I scooped my fancy new kicks on a thrifting excursion last weekend (you can check out my favorite NYC thrift store haunts here).  Can you believe these gorgeous Ann Taylor espadrilles were only $20, brand-new with tags?! I’m still pretty geeked over them and can’t wait to wear them all over the place this summer.

And what about you guys? Scored any great deals lately? I’d love to hear about them.

I bought this nautical print dress specifically for a cruise last summer, and I’ve enjoyed wearing it ever since. I usually reserve it for festive occasions, like the 4th of July.  But I was feeling a little playful last week and wore it just ‘cuz. After all, there’s never a good reason to let a cute dress go to waste!
