I started going through our New York trip photos, and whoa, L took a ton of pictures. I got overwhelmed after about ten seconds, and realized that I may never adequately share them with you, because I just don’t have the time.
But, I can do an outfit post, and write about bits and pieces of the trip. New York was amazing; which mostly goes without saying. I am constantly fascinated by the people, the fast pace, and the beauty of such a big city compressed into such a small area of land. There is always something to see.
In terms of this outfit, I bought the striped maxi on a whim from Gap. After looking at pictures of me in the dress, I’m not particularly impressed with the fit. It makes me a bit irritated because, for some reason, I bought it full price. I almost always buy Gap stuff on sale.
I think this was the point in the trip where the whirlwind travel was catching up to me. I recall being a grumpy b*tch at certain points, and L had to put up with my shenanigans. How he did it? We may never know.

lol Trips do change. My Sailor LOVES to stand around and photograph everything! It's okay for a while, but eventually I'm "Let's go DO something" and I get irritated. Funny how that works! I have one picture framed in our bedroom of us kissing while on a trip. Every time I see it, I laugh because I remember how annoyed I was with him.

You look great – I dig the dress and I bet it's uber comfy!!
PQ and I have been together since we were basically children so my perspective on relationships and their cycles is a bit skewed. That said I hear ya – PQ loves to meander around while I NEED TO GET OUT THERE AND GET MY MONEYS WORTH! Ugh. I annoy myself. 🙂
Happy Friday!! ♥

Came across your blog and thought to read it. Usually do some research on NYC, the great city I live in. By the way…driss looks just fine on you.

I knew I had seen this dress somewhere – I was going to link to your blog, but had a brain fart and couldn't remember! Updating the post now!
