Today marks 99 years since the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in which 146 women died. In memorial, a coworker and I took to the streets on a walking tour of famous women of the East Side. I am so grateful that I was able to do something to remember women just like me who unfortunately were not given the privileges I have been granted.
Today I was wearing:
-face tank, UO
-jean skirt, Zara
-black cardigan (it is there, I promise!), H&M
-black blazer, Theory
-black fishnets
-black oxfords, C G
-gold studded belt, ebay
-sunnies, vintage
-tan hat, Anne Klein
-scarf, still speculating (cousin?)
Not sure what made me reach for this odd-but-fun tank today, since I haven't worn it since sophomore year of college (ok, which wasn't so long ago, but still.) A face on the chest is a bit bizarre but I felt quirky and mod all day (the large vintage sunnies definitely helped, too.)
The fishnets are my compromise with the weather: I will cover up again, but not fully. They keep me from freezing but still allow my legs to take a break from tights, which can get rote after months of continuous wear.
If I hadn't been going on a walking tour today, I think I'd have paired this outfit with heels. Looking at the photos, I just seem so short! The length of the skirt and where it hits certainly contributes to the short/stumpy factor.
I thought this would be the last wear for this hat, a favorite of the past few months, but apparently we may get snow tomorrow. Oh boy.

This is great. I love the fun details on your shirt and the pretty scarf!
The textures and layers in this look are just fantastic. I love those tights - they add such a fun detail. And I hope weather.com is wrong. No more snow!
Those are some seriously awesome sunnies! Love them and go with the whole look so well.
Really? You think it makes you look short? I think you look long and lean.
I hate to tell you but you are short. I know I know - you're the TALL sister but really you just feel tall because the rest of us are so short.
That tank is awesomeness incarnate! I also think you look really long and lean!
