Pink Saturday Spring Fashions

A perfect spring day at the Winter Garden Atrium in Lower Manhattan

 

I had a list of chores to do today, both at home and in the neighborhood, and I planned to get to the gym. That was what was on my list for Sunday, March 24. But it was a perfect spring day in New York City and I pushed my list aside and took a subway to Lower Manhattan and one of my favorite areas along the Hudson River. I was joined by thousands of other people taking advantage of the weather and pushing their to-do lists to another day.   

 

I also had a different topic for this blog post, but as I started walking around this very high level mall, I noticed pink in almost every window. There is a legend that women in Manhattan primarily wear black, but this year it looks like pink is a contender in the fashion race. Since I retired I'm not much of a clothes shopper and my daily attire includes a lot of Yoga wear and t-shirts. But I still enjoy looking at the new spring clothes and I'm happy to share a few of my favorites for Pink Saturday.

 

This is the first outfit that caught my attention. I like the sweet look and the lace trim,

and it reminds of an outfit I would have loved to wear in high school.

 

The next eye-catcher is this bright pink suit. I have nowhere to wear this and it's probably the cost of my entire clothes budget for 2019, but I love the color and slim lines. 

 

 I turned a corner and came to slightly more modestly priced choices. The outfit on the left is my choice and I'm a fan of the plaid shirt. I didn't check prices, but I'm going to drop in later

 in the season and see if there's an end of the season sale going on.

 

One of the nice things about being retired is that errands deferred from one day can often be done the next day. There's definitely some procrastination that comes with this. But when the weather is perfect for a day spent outdoors forgetting errands, I say enjoy the days of spring!

 

Tomorrow I have my last scheduled physical therapy appointment. I'm not walking perfectly, but I'm much improved. I will probably schedule one more session and then rely on the gym and Yoga. I got back to Yoga on Wednesday. There were a number of things I still can't do, but I was able to participate in most of the class. Loved getting back to the class and my friends there. I've only been out for a little over two months, but it felt so much longer.  

 

As ever, thanks so much for visiting. Take care and have a great first full week of spring!
