Visible Monday #20: Stepping Out in Stripes

I can't believe we are at week #20 already! If you want to participate, just scroll down to the bottom for the easy how-to's. Everyone is welcome.

Today is my last day in New York. Sob! It has been such a rich, lively and joyful visit. The time flew as it always does when we are doing what we love. (Note to self: pay attention to the passing of every moment!). The passion, pace, diversity and energy of the city are now imprinted on me more than ever, and I'm bringing that energy home.

Here is a casual-but-dressy-enough outfit for our last day: a trip to Midtown for lunch, and a walk around 5th Ave. We were fortunate to watch some of the NYC Marathoners race by the windows while we enjoyed a hot coffee. I chose a simple black knit skirt and a striped top, which I bought at Buffalo Exchange here. My trusty Aldo boots are getting a workout. That's my new Cole Haan bag that I also picked up at a thrift in the East Village.

I thrifted the gold cuff too, at Beacon's Closet.

The sweet kitty is Cleo, who came with the apartment. She's a perfect cat.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to "live" here for two weeks and to soak up the beauty of New York City. I'll write more next week about the new ideas that are percolating in my brain as a result of this trip!

But now, let's see what you're wearing on this Visible Monday:
