Today I am proud to present…BA BADA DAAAA (that was a trumpet)…an all-secondhand outfit!

The Loeffler Randall bag and Gucci loafers (#sofancy) were both purchased through The RealReal, the lace pants were a Poshmark find, the top I snagged at a local consignment shop, and the sunglasses — well, they might have been new, but I got them on eBay, so I’m counting it.

The ring is secondhand too — it came from Kristin’s grandmother’s jewelry box. Knowing her, it could just as easily be an authentic vintage piece as it could be from a Kohl’s sale 3 years ago. Unfortunately she’s not around for me to ask. But, I decided that what makes it special is who owned it before, not how much it’s worth. (That rule just applies to the grandma ring, not the Gucci loafers. Those things better be real.)

My devoted Instagram followers already know I was in New York City for a few days earlier this month. For Fashion Week, obviously, because I’m a highly influential blogger.

JK, I went for back-to-back conferences on art and fashion law, which is about 1000x cooler if you’re a big nerd like me. The conferences were awesome – informative, relevant, plus everyone was very well dressed. 😉

Kristin joined me on my workcation, so once the learning fun was over, we had some regular fun. We saw Moulin Rouge and Beetlejuice, did the NBC Studio tour, consumed lots of good food and drinks, saw old friends, and ended the weekend with a stroll on the High Line. Oh, and did I mention I met John Ralphio from Parks & Rec?!?!

This outfit is what I came up with when I wanted to look like I “belonged” in NYC, but more importantly, wanted to be myself. Fun fact: NYU was my first choice for college, and I didn’t get in. On this trip, one night I had dinner near campus and afterward I walked over to Washington Square Park. I took a minute to feel grateful for how my life turned out, even if it wasn’t what I imagined when I was 17.
