I’m trying to drag myself away from the whole Lena Dunham debacle that’s been taking over the feminist internet, so, here’s an outfit I wore recently on a weekend trip to visit family. On the way there, my brother, Steve, and I stopped to take a walk at a New York state park, which also provided a good background for outfit pictures.

This backpack is the best purchase I’ve made in a long time. I bought it intending to use it for travel, and almost returned it when I saw that it was too small for that purpose–but I’m so glad I didn’t. I’ve started using it for everyday stuff instead of a tote bag, and it’s been wonderful. It’s far more comfortable than carrying a heavy tote bag on one shoulder, and it gets a ridiculous number of compliments. I think I’ve gotten a compliment on it from a stranger nearly every day since I started carrying it, and that makes me so happy.
Later that day, we went to the Grounds for Sculpture, a sculpture garden in New Jersey full of a fabulous combination of kitsch and serious art. There were so many sculptures of people, some quite realistic, that after a while I started wondering which people were real and which were fake…
There were also peacocks walking the grounds of the park, which was just a really cool place. If you’re ever in New Jersey, I recommend check it out! Then you too can stand underneath a giant Marilyn Monroe. 🙂
Your shirt is the cutest!!
Thanks! 🙂
Wait, how did I not notice the backpack? Ahhh!!!
😀
That bag is quite possibly the most awesome thing I’ve seen, except maybe Jason Momoa’s abs! 😉 I would love to stand under giant Marilyn one day.
Haha, thanks! 🙂
That backpack is AMAZING!!
Thanks! 😀
