Ahh, the first official weekend of Spring! While New York weather hasn’t exactly caught up (ahem, there was a menacing looking snowflake in my 5 day forecast) I tried to make the most of it with long city strolls and flower shopping. Most of our strolls ended in frustration however, when we visited yet another slew of apartments only to come up empty handed. And while I know an apartment is out there somewhere, living out of a suitcase is getting pretty old. And let’s be real – no matter how creative of a dresser, I’m quickly running out of outfits. But, like a Kate Spade window so happily pointed out to me, when life gives you lemons.. you’ve got to make your own lemonade. Or, in the case of the two little boys I passed with a makeshift city street ‘lemonade stand’ this weekend, orange juice and cookies. You gotta work with what you got people.
In just 2 short days I will officially have been living out of a suitcase for an entire month. On the one hand I am counting down every waking hour until I’m reunited with my things and can unpack into the closet of my new apartment, but if we’re trying to make this into a glass half full situation (and I desperately am at this point) it’s certainly forcing me to be a bit more creative. Since I’m apparently on a pencil skirt kick lately, I pulled out this faithful stand by and then dressed it down with a work shirt, cargo jacket and standard white tee. Plus mixed in a vintage bag and leopard flats for good measure. If nothing else, this cross country move has taught me that I could have survived pretty well as a member of a band on tour. In another life I suppose…Tulle Jacket – now on sale! // Madewell Shirt // Madewell Tee // Vintage Bag // Madewell Skirt – similar in black and white // Steve Madden Leopard Flats – currently obsessing over these
