New York, part 2 - Brooklyn Laydeez

Kater and Emily - I'm a big advocate for dappled sunlight

You can't really see the pins, but there's a car, Mike Tyson, naked lady icon, and a bug of some sort // notebook where I take important big girl notes about art and stuff

thrifted sweater top // vintage tie-skirt // vintage Ferragamo flats

There's no wifi in the apartment I'm staying in, so every time I want to make I post I have to buy a coffee or juice or sandwich at the coffeeshop 'round the corner.... I'm actually okay with that. I wish I could pay AT&T in sandwiches each month (there could be a scale; grilled chicken breast and pesto on ciabatta bread for hi-speed, hot wet PBJ for dial-up). These were taken on our way to visit Nina of Family Affairs (more on that later, in the meanwhile you can check out Kater's post).

I packed horribly for this trip. Emily told me before I left that it was "warm" and I "didn't need" a jacket, but I'm too used to Bay Area weather tricking me at the last minute and brought some sweaters and little jackets, making me stuck with trying to pitch pit stains as bohemian trend for spring. This jobbbie was short-sleeved, so it wasn't so hot. The tie-skirt is a super-mega find. I must have had a Trader Joe's bag full of ties rotting in the corner of my room for years, thinking I would eventually get around to learning how to make a skirt out of them, until I found this perfect, short, a-line one at a vintage store in Los Angeles for eighteen bucks. You can't see it from these angles, but one of the ties is a Tabasco-themed. I treat Tabasco like Visine, so clearly there were higher forces at work.
