Grim Philly

Yesterday I was lucky enough to spend the day in Philadelphia with my three best girlfriends from high school.  We’re all so busy with work, other friends, traveling and other things in our 20-something lives that it’s really great when we manage to carve out a big chunk of time to spend together.  We took the train into the city, stopped for mini-lunches at Reading Terminal Market and then headed over to the Independence Center where our walking tour started.  We got to see some historical Philly places and hear stories about murderers, serial killers and other “historical horrors.”  Our tour ended at The Mexican Post with beer, chips and salsa – a great day!  We even had time to stop at Ross on our way back to the train and I scored a great pair of navy flats/loafers.

I decided to wear the purple jeans I bought a few weeks ago and I thought the look turned out pretty well!  I think it was perfect for a fall walking tour and was comfortable for train traveling as well as walking.

Sweater: Banana Republic Factory Store ($41)
Necklace: Kohl’s ($15)
Purse: Nine West from DSW ($20)
Pants: DKNY Jeans from TJ Maxx ($30)
Shoes: Steve Madden from Famous Footwear ($33)
Jacket: bebe (gift)

Of course, I had to take a historical reenactment photo.  This is “The Signer.”  I think I did a pretty great job recreating the pose.

Someone was kind enough to take a photo of the four of us at the end of the tour.  Loved hanging out with my girls in our comfortable and fashionable outfits!
