Last week I visited NYC and stayed with one of my best friends from college, Meg. We spent a day sightseeing and this is what I wore! We hit up Top of the Rock, had lunch in Bryant Park, tried on jeans at Century 21, visited Freedom Tower and ended in Times Square with a run through Forever 21. The weather was gorgeous (hot even), and this dress and flats could not have been a more comfortable choice. The dress is a cotton material and I love the print and loose fit. Meg and I also took tons of photos, which I took way too seriously as you will see below. ;-) What would you wear for sightseeing in NYC?

Love the dress! I haven't been to NYC in a few years, I've definitely got the itch to go back soon though. I'd wear a dress, and probably some closed toe flats.
ReplyDeletegreat outfit!

Love that dress - I wanted it, but my local H&M was out of my size, so I picked up the peplum top in the same print instead! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your hair wavy! The dress is a great choice! Simple and comfortable. Looks like you had a fun time.
ReplyDeletei want to know whats in that h&m bag!!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour trip looks so fun. I love your Zoolander face. I love it when my husband makes the Blue Steel face. I request it sometimes when we're stopped at a red light.
ReplyDeletelove that dress, sounds like you had a fabulous time!

Haha, the zoolander look is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog for awhile, but first time commenting! Love all of your style tips, and that dress is fantastic!
Love the dress! Great casual look! Georgeous pictures of NY!

I totally saw this dress at H and M but didn't bother trying it on. I may take a peak this week and see if they still have it. If I were sightseeing in NY I would probably choose a nice light weight dress or crop pants with flats. Great pictures. Looks like you had a blast.

Adore that dress! Great transition piece!

Adorable! But, can you give those of us without great legs some "less leg" options??
ReplyDeleteYay, thanks for saying hello Sarah! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's what my hair looks like when I let it air dry. :-)
ReplyDeleteToo funny!!
ReplyDeleteI will spill the beans soon, but I did find that tweed blazer I was hunting for in my size!
ReplyDeleteSounds adorable! They didn't have any other pieces in this print when I was there, bummer!
ReplyDeleteNo, just to the Old Navy event and hanging out with my friend Meg. I am wayyyy too much of a tomboy for fashion week lol!
ReplyDeletegorgeous dress! very versatile and looks comfy!
ReplyDeletekw, http://www.ladiesinnavy.com
Such a cute dress. I tried on the pencil skirt in the same print. Love it! www.dreamboatfashion.com
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable dress! Love your pics. Looks like you had a wonderful time in NYC!
ReplyDeleteLove that dress! I'm totally digging the dalmatian print, but have been hesitant to get any because I don't know how long the trend will last. But I could see this dress in its classic cut going for a while. Looks great on you, and I love it paired with the cognac bag! What a chic tourist you were, J! :)
ReplyDeleteREALLY love the dress .. and your Zoolander impression!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I have on a dress similar to this one today except mine is black with white spots. I paired it with a leather motorcycle jacket--It's cooling down here.
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely gorgeous!! Very comfortable yet put together and chic :)

I love this casual look, your sandals are perfect for walking all around NYC! It looks like you had a lot of fun, loving this dress, I love the print!

Excellent choice! That dress looks great on you and is perfect for sightseeing. When I was in NYC in March it was coooold so I wore pants, riding boots, and blazers.
ReplyDeleteLove the zoolander pose!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dress! New York sounds like so much fun!

Aw, thanks Audrey! I am definitely planning to play with this dress and wear it as many ways as possible. :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress and necklace!!
ReplyDeleteI have that dress! I wear mine with a yellow skinny belt to give it more shape.
ReplyDeleteI love that dress! Wish I had an h&m here!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress. Looks great in the summer and could definitely be worn with a nice pair of tan boots and blazer for fall.

I love your bag! I don't own a cross-body bag and I really need one! I'll have to check out TJ-Maxx soon. Looks like you guys had fun :)
ReplyDeleteLove your sightseeing outfit! It is perfect for walking around such a busy city. I love the pattern on your dress. I have the pants to that dress, which I recently styled this way: http://coverupchic.blogspot.ca/2012/09/casual-fall-attire-burgundy-and-spots.htmlIf I were sight seeing in NYC, I would dress up very simply as you did, adding on a pair of leggings and a denim jacket or cardi, or wear a simple two piece attire as I did here: http://coverupchic.blogspot.ca/2012/08/summer-styling-dots-and-chinos.html and here:http://coverupchic.blogspot.ca/2012/07/sea-attire.htmlFor shoes, I would most likely go with closed toe flats for day-long excursions to avoid sore and grimy feet at the end of the day. One thing that is a "must have" exactly as you did, is rely on a bag with a cross-body mechanism to be hands-free.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress for site seeing! I wore shift dress all throughout the weekend summers. Printed shorts and a vintage tee was my second option.
ReplyDeleteI love that dress! I almost got it at H&M but got the pencil skirt instead. It's super comfy, huh?

Cute! I always fear that neck line cause I think it can be so unflattering and a little unisex for my liking, but I love that you dressed it up with a fancy necklace, makes all the difference. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI saw this online, it's such a cute print, however I never know what size to order as I fall between sizes! What size did you get? Great necklace too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I got an XS, but if you live in the U.S. H&M unfortunately doesn't offer online ordering yet (just browsing).
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog and taking inspiration from your photos. I have never been to NYC, but when I go will probably choose closed-toed flats as I would not someone stepping on my piggies!
ReplyDeleteI loved your dress so much that I literally ran out to H&M the next day and snapped it up! And I'm wearing it now! So cute and comfy and a great work option since it looks put together and chic, but keeps me cool since we're still having summer weather here in L.A. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I love this dress so much, I'm glad you do too!
ReplyDeleteJen, it is such a lovely dress! Would you say it rund TTS or bigger/smaller?
ReplyDeleteThanks Lena! (assume you are talking to me although my name is not Jen LOL!) I got an XS, which is what I would usually get at stores like Gap or Limited. H&M is European sizing though, so I usually would get a size S at that store.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! J, sorry for 'Jen'!! )))))
