Thanks everyone for all the lovely comments!
Today my outfit is very utilitarian — Athleta black Brooklyn pants and a grey V-neck Madewell tee, with my running shoes and a turquoise Patagonia lightweight backpack. I spent the day at the NY Botanical Garden and it was fabulous. Weather was spectacular, and the gardens and Kusama exhibit were pure joy. I logged about 7 miles of walking, and I’m now waiting for the train back to meet hubs for dinner (he had a business lunch today).
Last night I wore the same grey jeans from yesterday but changed into a simple black tee from ATM, the Tommy Hilfiger knit military jacket, and my black suede lug-soles boots. Added a cool statement necklace I got in Zambia that is made from snare wire reclaimed from an organization that works to stop poaching practices. No pics, but hubs assured me it was a good rock’n’roll outfit.
I think moving forward with my new hair, I may need to play up the edgier aspects of my style. It’s harder to do in summer. It helps me feel more like myself. The change in eyeglasses we discussed on the other thread is a part of that to be sure!
