New York Effing City

New York Friggen City. I wanted to get Hallie a cheeky little “Welcome to New York” gift and stumbled across this tee. Obviously had to get one for myself, too! 😉

A bit more R-rated than my last New York City tee, no?

PS – How shocked are you that I’m wearing black & white?! This classic combo has been on repeat lately — one / two / three / four

Graphic Tee / gifted Karen Kane Jacket / AG White Denim / Zara Sandals (last year, updated version here) / gifted Milly Clutch (on sale!) / Marc By Marc Jacobs Watch (similar options here & here) / Sequin Leopard Bangle / Zara Necklace (best $30 I’ve spent in a long time!)

PS – Linked up this look to BDIB!

Now, head over to corals + cognacs to see how Hallie styled her tee! It’s kind of like we switched styles.. She’s in sequins and I’m rocking a more edgy look!

    I love this – you look so cute in the first photo! Haha, I like that you have it obscured by the blazer. … gotta have a way to cover it when you walk past kids I guess 😉

    I so love this t shirt — though I don’t think I’d ever have an appropriate place to wear it! I spend too much time in places where children could see me. Pajama shirt perhaps?

    Hahaha this made me laugh out loud. Anyone who has lived in NYC knows that you either say the effing with admiration or disdain! Either way, it’s a cool city and a really cool tshirt! Great find!

      I bought a medium because I didn’t want it to be tight! I’d say they run a tad bit small. 🙂
