So here’s the thing. If you ignore what I did on Friday, March 24th, I wasn’t too far over my budget for March. But the 24th was my last day in NYC – the conference ended on the 23rd, and I designated Friday a “me” day to gallavant around the city and do whatever I wanted before heading home.

I went to the MoMA in the morning, took myself to brunch, then went down to SoHo and shopped to my heart’s content! I mean, I know I can buy all these things online, but there’s something magical about bopping around the greatest city in the country, going from store to store, enjoying the sunshine and admiring the Flatiron building in between.

So let’s just agree that my NYC shopping spree doesn’t count, K? If you can cut me some slack, I’ll reward you by showing you all the goodies I got on the 24th! Check ’em out below!

In case you haven’t been paying attention to my life (which is totally fine because your own life is way more important), I spent most of last week in NYC for a fashion law conference. Picking outfits was obviously very important, and I obviously needed another excuse to spend more time staring at my closet. Above and below are the outfits I picked because dresses make it easy to look chic AF, plus these 2 don’t wrinkle in a suitcase. Unfortunately it was pretty cold in New York, so I had to wear tights but I’m pretty optimistic these were my LAST tights outfits until next fall! [cue hallelujah chorus]

Back home in the Hoosier state, things are looking up. It’s getting into the 50s and 60s for about 10 minutes a day, and there’s a chance of rain, like, forever…so YAY it must be spring. I also think I saw a couple flowers that didn’t immediately fall over and die. Baby steps, people. Anyway, that means I’m still wearing sweaters, but I can get away with small sections of exposed skin without being too cold.
