A Rainy Day at the Met

Posted in art, style by summercrobbins on November 7, 2008

My good friend Marc and I took a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on this very rainy Thursday. Unfortunately, I had no idea the museum was doing some renovations on the second and third floors, so many of my favorite pieces were displayed under a maze of glass cases. We had a great time strolling through the exhibits, eating at the cafeteria, and then heading back downtown for afternoon cupcakes. Yumm.

Me with John Singer Sargent‘s The Wyndham Sisters. I wore a light heather grey merino wool turtleneck under a black silk chiffon blouse with a red satin bow (both from Club Monaco) paired with dark indigo Madewell jeans and topped with a black Club Monaco trench coat.

Here’s me without the trench at home.

I wore my vintage raw ruby ring because I love the way that the color almost perfectly matches the red of the satin bow.

I wore my carved wooden feather earrings that my boyfriend gave me for my birthday a couple years ago.

My favorite Costume National black riding boots finished the look. They got a little scuffed up, dirty, and wet so they’re off to my shoe guy to get shined up tomorrow.
