It's gotten a bit more breezy and chilly lately compared to the crazy warm summer-like weather we've been having, which I really appreciate because I don't have to say goodbye to the tights yet. Ryan and I had a little date together exploring parts of the Metropolitan Museum we haven't seen yet (it is a. huge. museum.) We spent quite a bit of time in the Asian wing, and found some really cool, really old Japanese story scrolls and Chinese murals. My favourite, though, was the replica of a peace garden right in the middle of the museum. They had a little waterfall, koi fish, lots of real plants, and gorgeous architecture. I could have stayed there all day- (I probably would have if Ryan wasn't there to nudge me on to other exhibits). Unfortunately, we only had our very cropped lens with us, so we couldn't really get a whole shot of the whole scene.

    I really love the combination of your dress with the patterned tights. I mean, I seriously love this combination.

    I've never actually been to the metropolitan museum, but I know how huge it is, and I cannot even imagine how long it would take for me to see the museum in its entirety (and I would want to see, and take in everything, of course!).

    I was doing a google search for Amish boots, and found your post about a visit to Amish country. (I'm working on a novel, and my protagonist is disguised as an Amishman for a brief time.) The picture of you in Amish country was irresistible I'd say your husband is a lucky guy.

    These colors work so perfectly together and so do the prints. Such an awesome outfit!

    I can't take how perfect your outfit is. Those tights and that dress...it's like my dream combination! But wow, the peace garden sounds so...tranquil. I would've stayed there forever too.

    I adore your outfit too. And your location. My husband and I lived there just short of two years prior to this wonderful blogging era. Live it up while you can and I can assure you NYC will stay in your hearts forever. Pruxxx
