Today

     Today I had so much city fun! I've recently realized more and more after adventuring to Garden State Plaza and other nearby malls that the shopping here is why so many New Jersians dress so differently than anywhere else possibly with a fashion reputation. Its about time Bergen County sees a little revival of more boutique stores instead of A MARSHALLS IN WYCKOFF? Sense the hostility. (Believe me you should've heard me scream the first time I heard the news) Okay for most of you who know, Wyckoff is my hometown where I would fondly describe it as some of the snobbiest, wealthiest, social-climbing people I have ever known live. When you think of the town of Wyckoff some normal things that come to mind are Aldos (our fantastic but ridiculously overpriced italian restaurant), Starbucks (where the trendy seek their morning latte before heading off to their 100 dollars an hour pilates class) and The Ivy Shop. The one boutique our town had seen where Juicy sweatsuits flew out of the stores back in middle school and Free People was first discovered by the Milfs of the the town. Marshalls, which now sits in the middle of our town center looks like a black fish in a sea of white. 
     Anyway, so back to today. Whenever I dress at home I dress significantly different than I dress in New York. Part of it is the surrounding styles by my New Jersey peers who are more on the casual side, but also because there is a judgement level in New York on the streets that everyone is quite aware of. To quote a Silverman, " I feel good when I pick out a cute outfit for the day." Agreed. So today I took a casual turn wearing this free people green tank top actually from last year but I've only worn it once before. ( you know me and my lack of color). Paired with my jean levi high waisted cutoffs. Don't get me started on how much of a trend this shorts are which makes me mourn the moments in the past of me wearing them before they were popular. I also accessorized with the bracelet shown in the previous post. Yes, I have been wearing it a lot but wouldn't you if Linda Fargo gave you a compliment on it? Thought so.

Today I came home with this new silk jacket shawl thingy- literally I don't know how to call it. I love the versatility of it and how I can wear it casually over jeans shown below or with a fancier outfit.

Lastly, here are two rings I picked up today from Buffalo Exchange love love!

By the way my highlight of my day- just walking past Ralph Lauren himself in the city #epic
