A Day in the City

Coat: Tahari marla wrap, Crossbody: Nine West (also here), Skirt: Joe B. via Kohl's, Chambray Shirt: Sonoma via Kohl's, Sweater: Charlotte Russe

Yesterday, I went to New York City with my sister.  For a while now, I have been dying to visit thriftshops in the city, so I had to take advantage of this opportunity.  Unfortunately, I did not end up purchasing anything, but it was still a good experience.  After that, we ate lunch at a cute little cafe, named Bite.  The rest of the day consisted of more shopping, at several stores including Zara, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Free People, The Gap, and Macy's.  Zara had a huge sale, and I bought one pair of black velvet-patterned jeans for $19.99. About my outfit: I was inspired about this coat, when I saw it being worn by a great fashion blogger, Brooklyn Blonde.  I loved the big collar immediately, because it creates such a huge statement, no matter what it is worn with.   I bought this skirt a while ago, since I have been wanted a full skirt like this one, after being inspired by another blogger, Atlantic-Pacific.  This chambray shirt was purchased from Kohl's for about $12,and I could not pass it up.  This sweater was given to me as a gift by one of my close friends.  I love the texture that it gives off, along with the cozy feel it presents.
