You know what I’m a fan of? Silent auctions. They’re like competitive shopping. Much like red wine and spending Friday night at home in your sweats, silent auctions are something you don’t learn to enjoy until adulthood. If you haven’t participated in one before, I recommend it – preferably one that benefits a good cause. On Saturday I went to an art auction to benefit Indiana Youth Group, an organization that provides a safe space and programming for LGBT youths here in Indy. I snagged a really pretty print for only $40 and helped team rainbow along the way. And I had an excuse to dress a little bit fancy. If there aren’t any silent auctions in your future (so sad for you), a shift dress with metallic flats and tassel earrings would also be perfect at a holiday party!

Sigh. I’ve been dragging out the NYC recap posts as long as possible, but this is the last one. The vacation (and the reliving of the vacation) is over.

So this was Day 4 of our NYC Thanksgiving vacation. There’s a lot of pressure on a day that follows the day I see Hamilton on Broadway, but Day 4 did its best. It didn’t try to be better, it just tried to be great in its own special way. Good job, Day 4. You were great. Everything else on our to-do list was done, and you let us do whatever we wanted. We had a scrumptious brunch, post-brunch cookies (vacation calories don’t count), walked around Central Park, visited the Frick Collection, wandered in a few stores, and finished the day off with an amazing meal at Manzo. The gnocchi was a borderline religious experience.

The cherry on top of Day 4 was that I wore my favorite outfit of the trip! I’m resolving to wear more red because it makes me feel sassy and I think I look good in it. Plus it’s festive this time of year. I also felt pretty hip in my faux leather leggings and Chucks.
