Banana Republic top (Richmond Thrift Shop, Richmond VT), $4.00, Tangents skirt (Salvation Army, Burlington), $2.00, belt (Downtown Threads, Burlington), $7.00, Saltwater sandals (Stella Mae, Burlington), $42.00 SPLURGE ALERT
I felt very comfortable roaming NYC with my mom, wearing this black and white outfit with a splash of red. This two dollar skirt actually has built-in shorts on the inside! These sandals lasted me all day in the city without any blisters! Totally worth the splurge. Great for walking, working, and water activities (they’re waterproof!).
Occasion: Fun Home (Broadway musical) and Vbar Seaport
My mom and I ventured to the Southend Seaport area in NYC to get half price TKTS to see a Broadway show that night with my dad. This is a cool area that is closed off to cars and has food stands from Smorgasberg (a huge gathering of food trucks in Brooklyn). We decided to try out VBar Seaport because it got great ratings, and we split a sensational Eggplant Caponata panini and a Pulled Pork panini. So delicious! We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge and the weather was perfection.
We got tickets to see Fun Home. It’s about a dysfunctional family and the impact of their dynamic on the daughter, who is represented at 3 different ages. It was uncomfortable at times, but very well-done. It was interesting to see such a serious show when I am used to feel-good Broadway musicals. Not my favorite show, but profound nonetheless.
Full day in the city, ain’t a pity!
