Say Yes

Say Yes

I’m saying yes to everything this summer.

New York in the summer is the absolute best. Once you get past the trash smell that always seems to get in your mouth and your clothing sticking to you while you wait for your train, it’s really, a very magical time in the city.

I get excited… and then reality sets in.

I started to get overwhelmed to think about all that I want to do this summer and work and find time to blog, and finish decorating my new little Upper East Side studio. I’m like, I mean, I can’t even blog on a regular schedule, which I promise, I actually am working on.

Wearing: MADE Fashion Week for Impulse Top// Madewell Lace Shorts// American Apparel Over the Knee Socks// BCBGeneration Booties// Kate Spade Book Clutch (I want this one next!)//nOir Necklace and Ring// OCC Stained Gloss in Hedonist

Can we just discuss that I am wearing so many things I thought I would never wear? One, so much black. Two, shorts–I thought I hated them and my thighs would eat them (just being honest) and third, and most obvious to me looking at these pictures, only 5 pieces of jewelry are paired with this scoop crop top sitch, I have going on.

I didn’t think anything of this outfit really, but of course, the men on the streets of New York make me feel like I’m doing the most.

It’s going to be a long (but great) summer, New York.

Get ready.

I’m going to say yes to everything: weird outfits, book clutches–I fell victim to the Kate Spade secret sale–rooftop parties, marriage proposals,  you name it.

    Yeeees to saying yes to everything! I’ve found just saying yes without thinking about your inhibitions or “what if’s” makes everything more fun and adventurous. Summer 2014 isn’t ready for us!

    I love this look! What’s funny is, you’re almost all covered except arms and thigh peek-a-boo! Goes to show that you don’t have to show all your skin to grab attention.

    […] The way he broke it down was that it would protect my clothing/accessories/bags/computer/camera should anything ever happened to my apartment. He said that when I was cramped in a two-bedroom, so I think it’s especially important now that I’m solely responsible for making sure nothing happens to #CITC. […]
