Versus

I originally started this blog with the intention of keeping a daily (or nearly daily) record of what I wear. My intentions have grown since then, but I still think there's a lot of value in how people chose to present themselves to the world on an average day. Not to say that one outfit can sum up a person, but it can give some insight. This is a weekday look for me: polished, feminine, quality clothes, cute but city appropriate shoes, etc. It fits my life of commuting to Manhattan and working in crisp, clean office. Sitting here on a Saturday afternoon looking at these photos, I've realized that this is not how I dress on the weekends. Simple, comfortable silhouettes, disheveled hair, minimal accessories, barefoot as often as possible. I rarely take pictures of this look because it feels less creative/interesting, but I think it's equally as me as this one.

With a View

This city is all about it's views. Tourist attractions and apartment rentals advertise them competitively. Rooftops and waterfronts are prime communal spaces for enjoying them.Views are socially important. There's something nice about stepping outside or above of the monotonous infinity of buildings and streets and people and just breathing in the entire picture.
