Michal and I did some major thrifting damage all over Brooklyn on Saturday. We had brunch at Jimmy's Diner and then Ida took us to all her favorite thrift spots. The day was successful in having a great time with the girls, but also scoring some awesome fall clothes. Michal and I accidentally drove into Manhattan trying to get to the J/M/Z because the L wasn't running. I must have taken a wrong turn, but we found the train running alongside us halfway across the Wiliamsburg Bridge. I'm not big on bridges to begin with, but I'd never driven into Manhattan. I'm glad I had Callie there to experience it with me, we were both laughing, I was cursing like a maniac. Can't wait til she comes to visit again, or perhaps we'll have to meet in Boston!
Here's what I looked like for a girls day out. I listened to The Turtles Me About You all day on repeat, it probably influenced my outfit decision.

Vintage top, BDG pants, Halogen purse, Kork Ease sandals

Of course! Everything is at the dry cleaner/tailor right now though but seriously we both scored some MAJORLY awesome fall-wear.
ReplyDeleteI love the van in the back of these photos. It's perfect. This was such a fun day!! Please come to Boston soon!

So lovely! Your bag is AWESOME. And I like how fitting the green bus is in the background. Was that planned? ;)
ReplyDeletePost more of your pictures and I will think about it
ReplyDelete;)
aww, i love michal! i had the pleasure of meeting & hanging out with her when she visited nashville. such a sweet & fun gal! sounds like you two had quite an adventure. :)
ReplyDeleteI would be terrified of driving in NYC! (I refuse to drive in London) So congrats on that. I like this top, styled with the simple cut of the trousers plus it goes rather well with that van in the background
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty top! I hope you had fun thrifting.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you're my favorite linguist. I *am* impressed at your smarts. Brains and beauty -- you've got the whole package!
I love YOU! Can't wait to get out to San Francisco and see you again. :)
ReplyDeleteI cant drive in NY, those drivers make me beyond nervous. Glad you got through it safely :)
ReplyDeleteMy NY driving would only make you nervous if you were a passenger in my car ;)
ReplyDeleteThe mini-bus behind you works perfectly with your outfit!!!
ReplyDeleteSo this Turtles band. . is that the OLD Turtles or something else?
Like The Turtles! I think this song is from 1967 (but I could be COMPLETELY wrong). Its such an amazing song (musically...lyrically its a little boring).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog, the reason I bought the blazer is because of the back ;).
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE thrift shopping so I can't wait to see what you've bought. I believe thrift shopping in the USA is even more excited then here in The Netherlands, so I NEED to visit the states any time soon haha.
Your outfit is so cute, love the headband.

Those sandals are great!! I wonder if they would be flat enough for me right now (seriously, my life as a 75 year old woman) What kind of foot issues come with figure skating? Thank goodness I quit ballet at age 9 b/c I would have been sorely disappointed when my feet gave out early in my career! I have high arches and I'm sure I woulda only made it like 2 years in point.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pictures, as always :)
the mini bus is awesome and your hair looks soooo adorable right now!
ReplyDeleteAh! You look perfectly adorable and classic! If I have not said it before, I am sorry, but I adore your hair so much! Argh, I want to chop all of my hair off, but it won't look as cute.
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute with the head band on. I miss vintage shopping. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit, oh your vintage top is beyond adorable! x
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had such fun! Your hair looks so adorable here, by the way.
ReplyDeleteLove the pants with that top. The headband is really cute too!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course you found the sweetest old bus to stand by for this shot! You are looking so chic and playful in this outfit lady :)
ReplyDeletegreat weekend getup! i love lots of laughter when getting lost...and wouldn't have it any other way.
ReplyDeleteOooo, thrifting in Brooklyn sounds like so much fun! I'm moving to Boston in January and can't WAIT to check out all the thrift stores in that area. :)
