the blues

 

Do you ever get that "blah" feeling? The French call it ennui, and it always seems to happen to me a little during the winter. I think my feelings this year are more focused on missing my family and friends who live in other places around the country. I am so lucky to live such a lovely life with my husband and pup here in NYC, but every now and then, I really miss that feeling of home.

Chad and I were recently visited by my brother and our longtime friends Katherine and Jordan, who came up from Boston for a weekend. It was so nice to have familiar faces around.

New York also did this lovely thing of having perfect spring weather (I spent last Friday reading on a blanket in the park) and then crushed our hearts with a burst of windy cold. I hope it warms back up soon. These photos look sunny, but a few days ago I could barely walk up the street without being blown away.

I guess I created this outfit based on getting rid of winter blues...by wearing multiple shades of blues.
