Preppy Plaid

I felt like a world traveler last week… Upper East Side after work on Tuesday, Brooklyn after work on Wednesday, and New Jersey after work on Thursday! All in one week. Pretty impressive for a rarely-leaves-Manhattan-downtown-dweller, like myself.

On Thursday, I crossed state lines for the Tommy Hilfiger grand opening party at Garden State Plaza! A fun night filled with shopping (I picked out most of this outfit there!), some of the best finger foods (lobster rolls, gourmet grilled cheese, cheesecake), mingling, and more shopping! Be sure to swing by if you’re in the area. And if you have a passion for preppy, like me, you just might want to keep your wallet at home… So, so many cute things! 😉
