What I Wore In NYC (Hello, Converse Hightops)

We spent a week in NYC last month – the whole fam.  Mike had a conference to attend, so myself and the boys tagged along.

It was no hardship.

We rented an apartment near a park, and spent our days exploring, just the three of us.  I had a ton of tips from my Instagram buddies about where to bring the boys (thank you thank you thank you!!) and the whole week was a good reboot for all of us.  (I’ll share the where-to-go tips in another article – they’re too good to miss.)

But I literally wore this outfit (or a version of it) everyday.

Sometimes it would be a different shirt under the sweater (my fav LOFT shirt was worn so often I wish I had bought two – and hey!  It’s 40% off the already marked-down price….), sometimes I’d swap the jeans for shorts, my Tieks instead of Chucks….but this was pretty much my uniform:  comfy flat shoes, denim, turtleneck, and a button-down peeking out.

Another daily occurrence? Pax with his red boots on the wrong feet, Raines in miss-matched socks.  (Raines’ shorts, incidentally, no longer have sharks on the bum.  They were all worn off by sliding down rock mountains in Central Park.  #howwedo)

wearing:

sweater: Nordstrom (black is sold out), but the blue and cream are still available, or try this cowl neck by Autumn Cashmere, this swingy black turtleneck sweater at Nasty Gal ($68!) or this Eileen Fisher swingy black turtleneck sweater with an asymmetric hem.

shirt: old, but this Equipment shirt is very similar (and on sale), and I also wore the heck out of this LOFT shirt.

jeans: old Rag and Bone….but these slightly destroyed skinny jeans by Paige has a similar vibe.

sneaks: Converse high tops (classic) but I’m kinda loving these with the black laces….

bag: Kate Spade (old)….but this Frye Cross-body satchel makes my heart beat fast

sunnies: old (and left in NY)….replaced with these Ray Bans (still my very favs)

On Raines: Vince kids hoodie, Fab Kids shorts and socks, Vans (on sale!)

On Pax: Splendid Kids hoodie (old), but this Splendid Kids hoodie (on sale) or this one are both similar…Nico Nico dot shorts, hunter kid’s first classic boots, MoMA Kids Sky Umbrella

How is your week treating you?  I’m still recovering from our epically bad week last week – time change, full moon, insane boys, and I STILL can’t seem to shake this darn cold.  (And thank you for all of your kind words on the #fightinglikeagirl trunk show.  I’m off to acupuncture tomorrow, so here’s hoping.)

But I’m starting to get excited….I fly to Denver on Friday for a loooong anticipated girl’s weekend.  YESSSSSS.
