I swear I could spend more than just a weekend in New York City. I never get bored of the sites, the sounds, and the FOOD! It really is the city that never sleeps and I love it! This last time that I was in New York City, my mom and I had planned a full day of adventure. We ended up walking all over the place including walking through Central Park! Of course this meant that I had to be comfortable. I wanted to still be stylish though because I knew that we would be taking a lot of pictures!
If you're planning a weekend, or even just a day, where you're going to be walking through the city then make sure you wear comfortable shoes. I recieved a lot questions and compliments on my shoes which my mom actually got me as a Christmas gift a few years ago. My shoes are the Vans Classic Slip On Floral or Hawaiian print. I don't think that they sell them in the store anymore, and even my mom had to go to two different stores to find them. They are my favorite pair of Vans because they're slip ons, they're comfy, and they're super cute! I always pair these shoes with a simple t-shirt because they stand out on their own!
My jeans are from a local botique, Victoria Beth's in Jacksonville, NC. Now even though this botique isn't open anymore, you can find white skinny jeans just about anywhere. The reason I loved this pair so much was because they fit so perfectly (if you're short like me, you understand this struggle) and because they weren't see through. I know it was a total risk wearing white jeans the day we went exploring and what you can't see in these pictures is that I totally dropped a cheese fry on my lap, but these jeans are so comfy and just went so perfectly with my outfit! Since I was keeping it simple and letting my shoes and accessories speak for themselves I kept it super simple with the shirt as well. I actually got this grey t-shirt at H&M in Time Square and it just went perfectly with the vision I had in mind.
As I said, I wanted my shoes and accessories to stand out the most and that's exactly what I happened. I had some new jewelry pieces that I was dying to wear, including my rose gold horseshoe necklace from H&M, my rose gold bar necklace from Lindsey Vee, and a new gold choker I got from Forever 21. My bracelet is from Kate Spade and my earrings were a gift from my mom. My hat is from Wet Seal and it's a pink faux suede hat. Last but not least, I had my Michael Kors backpack that my mom got me for Christmas. Which was the perfect bag to have for that day since we were walking around everywhere, the last thing we wanted to do was carry a big purse around!
xoxo, Michele
