I am still getting used to dressing for the city. I'm used to just opening the deck door, stepping out, and figuring out what clothing would be appropriate. Also, even when I lived in DC, I would drive to work, which meant that all I had to worry about was sprinting from my car to the office or class. I wore what I posted earlier to the post office, and of course as soon as I step outside the sun was shining and I was overheating.

So I came home before running the rest of my errands (it was on the way back from the PO to the subway) and has such a hard time figuring out what to wear. I was thinking it was going to rain again, but knew that my Inverness trench layered with my sweater was too heavy for the temperature. This J.Crew jacket is my new favorite thing in the world. I absolutely adore the color, it is super lightweight, and it's water resistant with a hood, and I could always smoosh it into a small ball and stick it into my purse.

I feel like this outfit was kind of a miss today. I think if I were to do it over again I would have worn sheer tights with it. I felt a little silly with bare legs, even though the temperature was warm enough. I am horrible at figuring out what to wear by just looking at the weather forecast online. The numbers mean nothing to me.

I am pretty tired right now, just made a huge purchase at Bed Bath and Beyond, taking advantage of their $15 flat rate delivery charge within Manhattan, and I bought a whole lot of stuff I needed for the apartment. Two large carts full. I love the fact that so many places in New York deliver! It makes sense, a lot of people don't drive in the city, and even taking a cab would be painful. I sorta miss having my car, but it is a bit liberating to know that I don't have to worry about parking or gas.

Now I'm off to make some dinner. I have a feeling it will end up being a chicken + pasta combination of sorts. I'm off to google some recipes, since I am fail at cooking on the fly.
