Outfit:

Banana Republic jacket (Richmond Thrift Shop, VT), $7.00, J Brand jeans (Richmond Thirft Shop, VT), free, Ann Taylor Loft sweater (Richmond Thrift Shop, VT), free, Dolce Vita boots (gifted)

I get some of my favorite things for free from the Richmond Thrift Shop!  I have found Free People sweaters, American Apparel basics, and virtually new Banana Republic work attire.  This sweater and pair of designer jeans made me especially excited!  The sweater is SO comfy and the ripped jeans are totally trendy, fun, and fit just right!  The sweet older lady working at Richmond saw the holes in the jeans and said, “you can’t pay for jeans with big holes in the them!”.  She insisted that I take them for free!  Little does she know that they are worth about $200 retail (holes and all).

I added these western Dolce Vita shoes that I love to make the outfit complete for a day in the citay!

Occasion: NYC and The Greek Kitchen

The weekend was a slice of heaven.  I flew home to New York’s 65 degree weather in the middle of February!  Last week was a blizzard and this week is a sneak peak of Spring!  I don’t hate it, although I worry about the environment  My family walked around NYC, had brunch, and took in the sun in the cute NOHO area.

Later that weekend, we walked along the Hudson River and went to a restaurant called The Famous Greek Kitchen in Greenwich, Connecticut.  I had a seafood dish with feta cheese and it was OUTRAGEOUS.  It had juicy scallops, mussels, lobster meat, crab meat, and shrimp in a tomato-based broth.  One of the best dishes of my life!
