Hmm...this looks a lot like what I wore here. I obviously need more color in my wardrobe! Unfortunately the only other colors besides black, white, and blue, is pink...which has already been shown twice. Possibly others, I don't remember.

Wearing Gap cardigan ($12), J.Crew ruffle top (gift from my mom), husband's belt ($10), and secondhand BDG jeans ($17).
Our Philly outing was great, but tiring...hence, the title. We stayed at the Museum of Arts for HOURS. There was so much to see! And we went to check out UPenn's architecture school but everything was closed. Also, for the architecturally aware, did you know Robert Venturi's Vanna Venturi house is in Philadelphia? My husband had learned about it in school and wanted to check it out. We talked to the owner and even saw the interior. At first glance, it is an odd-looking house but it plays an important role for post-modern architecture. AND, we were able to see the Nowhere Stair in person!
Happy New Year's Eve! What are your guys' plans for the New Year? We'll be spending it with friends and family and with lots of Korean food!

ReplyDeleteI like your outfit...and Happy New years!! We are probably going to burn a Christmas tree! kinda excited about that. It's an Australian tradition I think...
That is a gorgeous top! I'm glad you had a wonderful trip to Philadelphia. :) That is one of my favorite cities!! And your New Years Eve sounds like it's gonna be fabulous (and delicious, hehe). I'm going to be with family, eating junk food and drinking champagne! :) Happy New Year!

ReplyDeletehello darling
ReplyDeletethanks for the lovely comment on my blog
it means a lot to me :)
i really like the outfit you are wearing
i don't know how many people can pull it off but i think it takes a lot to rock a plain T and jeans with a boyfriends belt and navy cardigan.
you make such a plain outfit look so edgy and classy
i hope this make sense haha but i really think you have pulled the look together without looking like you don't care
its a good thing :)
well cute blog and happy new years!
i hope you have something fun planned
