What I wore in New Orleans in March

I don't know how nearly a month has gone by already, but it feels like just yesterday we went to New Orleans for my birthday. It's always such a fun city to visit, and it had been eight years since my last trip there. While some of my favorite spots were thankfully as lively as ever (the Carousel Bar is one of my favorite places on Earth), we explored some corners of the city I hadn't traveled to before, which was really refreshing. New Orleans is such a gorgeous, unique place, but it's the hospitality that always keeps me coming back—everyone is always so warm and welcoming and friendly. We spent a long weekend in the city in early March; here's what I wore. 



On my birthday

I was hoping for warmer weather but was not expecting it to be as warm as it was—during the day, I didn't even need a jacket, which was such a novelty to me! I was comfortable in my cardigan, but the star of this outfit, of course, is the skirt. I feel like it's not very "me," but I fell in love with the print and it was on sale, so I decided to take a chance. I felt very pretty in it! I see what the hype is about with Zimmermann—people stopped me on the street to compliment it—and have a feeling this won't be my last piece of theirs. The bag was a birthday present from my mom (thanks, mom!), and the boots are very old but very comfortable (and great on cobblestone streets). At night, I did need my wool shirt jacket, and I switched to sneakers because we were walking so much (like 20,000 steps a day!).

On the next day

As I've said many times before, I am a sucker for a lacy white top. You last got a peek of this one in my favorite accessories post; again, it was so temperate in New Orleans that I was able to wear it without a jacket—and now you can see how amazing the sleeves are. I especially love wearing pretty white tops with jeans; Sean hates this pair, and now after seeing photos of them, I kind of agree. For some reason, my regular-length Levi's 501s fit like a glove but the cropped version has kind of an anti-fit that doesn't do me any favors. Off to the Poshmark pile they go!

On our last day

We were blessed with beautiful weather on the first two days; on our final day, it poured. This was romantic at first, then slightly annoying, and as the day went on and the city started to flood, fairly concerning. (Our hotel thankfully called a huge SUV to take us to the airport; if we were in a Prius or something like that, I don't think we would have made it.) This was also a good reminder that New Orleans is basically on the edge of a swamp and is accordingly humid; as you can see, my hair responded by showing its true (curly!) nature. The trench coat I'm wearing here was not at all waterproof, and my pants got so soaked, I had to change into a skirt for the flight home. Still, totally worth it. Never a dull moment, and always an adventure! Pro trip: always bring an umbrella to New Orleans.

I lost my job and there was no hope for me. I suffered looking for a job and luckily I came across Mr Bernie Doran on a review about Forex, NFT, Binary, and Crypto trade. I borrowed
$2000 from a colleague to invest with Mr Bernie platform , thank goodness I made a profit of $22,000 on the first week, reinvested 5000, and withdrew the remaining balance directly to my bank account. I. was able to pay my friend, and convinced him to invest as well. I'm very grateful to him for helping me
manage my trading account. I will advise all of you who want to invest for the future and a better tomorrow should start with Mr Bernie Doran

ICC IS TIMELY IN DATA RECLAIM:
The saying “Gray hair is not important but gray cells matter” shows the value of knowledge and experience in any field. Philosophies like this are based on successive planning in any industry and ICC RECOVERY SERVICE implements them very well. I voluntarily share this review in gratitude for a job well done. When I lost the passwords and seed phrases for my trading account, I was frustrated. My experience with ICC RECOVERY SERVICE was a miracle because it started when an ad appeared in my email. After reading all the amazing reviews and recommendations from many, I contacted them, they analyzed and diagnosed every information I submitted and made a recovery plan and my data was recovered within 4 business days as stated in our agreement. Their efficiency and commitment to clients is truly unmatched. I appreciate this tech-savvy data recovery team and can't help but recommend them because everything that seems impossible is possible with ICC RECOVERY SERVICE.

It's in every case such a great city to visit, and it had been a long time since my last excursion there. While a portion of my number one spots were fortunately as energetic as could be expected (the Merry go round Bar is one of my #1 puts on The planet), we investigated a few corners of the city I hadn't headed out to previously, which was truly reviving. New Orleans is a particularly flawless, one of a kind spot, yet the cordiality generally makes me want more — everybody is generally so warm and inviting and well disposed.
