If you read my blog every day, you know I’m supposed to be in New York City right now for a fabulously nerdy fashion law conference. If you read literally any other news source, you know New York got hit with a beast of a snow storm yesterday. My Thursday morning flight got cancelled on Wednesday night, but then I got rebooked for Thursday afternoon. Not so bad. Had to cancel plans with friends, but I got some extra sleep, more time to pack, and did some work from home.

Around 1pm Thursday, an hour and half before I planned to leave for the airport, my rebooked flight got cancelled. (Cue dramatic fall to my knees while screaming “NOOOOO!”) I called the airline and searched all the websites I could think of, and the only option left would’ve involved getting to the airport at 4am and missing the first session of the conference. I was definitely excited for the trip, but it got to the point where the extra stress and extra effort was outweighing the few remaining benefits.

Sigh. So I cancelled my hotel, return flight, and conference registration, and then went out for a drink and Greek food. This outfit was going to be a great travel slash walking through snowy NYC ensemble, but it turned out to be a decent work from home slash eating consolation falafel ensemble instead.

Last Friday after work I went to see a community theater play in one of the kinda hipster areas of town. I’m way too lazy busy and important to come up with an extra outfit, pack it in a tote, and change into it after work, so I had to come up with something that looked professional enough for the office but didn’t make me look like a stuffy lawyer afterward. Oh, and did I mention it was raining buckets all day? Because it was.

Everything you see here except for the hat was what I wore to work – I figured a simple black and cream palette was the safest way to go. And these rain boots are a life saver because they totally pass for normal ankle boots so I can wear them all day! After my working hours were up, I stuck the beanie back on. Boom, instant rain-proof hipster. OK, maybe not. I’m still at least one flannel shirt away from hipster. Oh, but I did have a local beer at dinner. That certainly counts for something. Also, I liked Jimmy Eat World before they got popular, AND after they stopped being popular. More hipster points there, for sure.

Buuuut I think I get negative hipster points for the fact that I put my new blush Ann Taylor satchel inside a plastic bag to protect it from the rain. Yup, that happened.
