Chambray for Spring

Top (sadly sold out, but I also love this one and this one!) - Madewell / Jeans (I also have and love this distressed pair) - Gap / Necklace - BP / Flats (a few sizes are back in stock in blush!) - Banana Republic / Bag (similar) - Coach

Helloooooooo from New York City!! I haven't been here since I was a freshman in high school on a school trip, so I'm definitely excited to be back. I'm here for work and won't really have time for exploring, but I am hoping to venture a little further than Times Square this time ;)

That first trip to NYC was just supposed to be a fun trip with our music department - we planned a few performances but we were mainly going for a fun thing to do on spring break. There was a big meeting about the trip and everyone put down deposits on September 10, 2001. In the next couple of weeks, the trip almost got cancelled, but ultimately the teachers in charge decided we would still go and we would make the trip about giving back. We played at firehouses for first responders and had a song commissioned to honor victims, and instead of just selling candy bars to pay for our plane tickets we hosted a couple of big fundraisers to raise money to donate. The trip ended up being so much more than I expected it to be, and is definitely something I'll remember forever.

Not to abruptly change topics, but hellooooo, how cute is this top? I almost sent it back because I wasn't 100% about the shape, but I am so glad I kept it. With the fun sleeves and the bow back, it has been my go-to over the past couple of weeks. Paired with white jeans and this pretty necklace my sister gave me for my birthday (thanks girl!), it's definitely perfect for this (slightly chilly) transition into spring. But thanks to the breezy shape I definitely see it working really well for summer with white shorts and some fun statement earrings!
