Spring Sundress in Brooklyn








Happy Memorial Day weekend! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend full of plenty of rest + relaxation. We had a little rain in NYC today but it's shaping up to be bright and sunny from here on out. Hoping to even escape for a bike ride around Brooklyn at some point. 

Last weekend, after a very anxiety filled internal debate, I rode a city bike to my sister's place in the Upper East Side (where we responsibly distanced in their backyard). It was a bit of a trek, but since then I've been itching to see what other parts of the city I can explore on two wheels. (Pro Tip: Lyft makes it so easy to rent city bikes. It takes something like 30 seconds from start to finish. Wild.) After being cooped up for two months now, we've been trying to find responsible ways to still enjoy the city and get out for a bit.

Which leads me to today's post! A few weekends ago, on a gloriously sunny afternoon, we set out to take advantage of the only outdoor space we have: The fire escape.  I mistakenly referred to this as our "balcony" during a book club meeting -- if only. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'd still like to add an outdoor cushion or something to make reading out there a bit comfier, but for now it's a good spot to get in a few chapters, have an impromptu photo shoot or simply hangout. 

I snagged this adorable sundress from TJMaxx right before my sister's bachelorette trip in Napa (more on that soon), but was able to find it for you here! It's supposed to hit at mid-length, but at 5.1 it hits me where a normal maxi should. I still love the look, but something to keep in mind you decide to pick it up.

Anywho, as I'm sure you guessed, I had no where special to go that day. But simply dressing up and getting fresh air made for a lovely afternoon. 

What are you doing to keep quarantine interesting?

  18. I love your dress and hope you wore a mask and washed your hands carefully after using the city bike. I live in NY too and take daily nature walks to maintain my sanity. I wear a mask, gloves and long sleeves... Yes, this is my new normal. Praying for a cure
