Well, all my NYC vacation recap posts are over. I guess that means back to reality, right? Sort of. How about back to the 1980s? Yeah, that sounds fun.

Last weekend, Kristin (you remember Kristin) performed in an 80s cabaret, and she not so subtly mentioned that audience participation was encouraged. I really did want to dress the part, but I had just done some killer shopping in NYC, so I wanted to show off my new purchases.

I went for the best of both worlds: instead of going in “costume,” I wore some of my new duds with a retro spin. Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to break in a faux leather mini skirt than at an 80s party, can you? I paired it with my rather strong-shouldered top from Kate Spade Saturday (next best thing to shoulder pads), wayfarer-esque shades, some punk touches, and plenty of neon pink.

I probably wouldn’t have put together this look if it weren’t for the occasion, but I really like how it turned out! It definitely said 80s, but I also didn’t feel totally out of place in 2013.

Hey everyone! I’m back from my NJ / NYC trip. I’m exhausted but in the best possible way. I’ll have plenty of photos from the trip (including outfits of course) to share with you over the next few days, but I thought I’d start with what I wore on the trip home yesterday.

For air travel I don’t really have a go-to uniform, but in the summer I generally wear more coverage on one half of my body than the other. Since airplanes have a magical way of always being either too hot or too cold, this way there’s always at least one half of me that’s comfortable. I will still complain about the other half of me though. Hash tag first world problems.

Besides that, I go pretty minimal on the jewelry so there’s less to take off at security, and I like to wear my hair down because a ponytail against an airplane seat in its full upright and locked position makes me bend my head forward like I’m praying the whole flight. If I did pray, I would probably pray for a separate plane for babies.
