Hints of Spring

After a yummy brunch at Russ & Daughters

I walked from the LES

to Washington Square Park to the Highline.

I wanted to see Renzo Piano's New Whitney Museum.

Sadly, it was not love at first glimpse.

Although temperatures hovered in the low 60s,

it was evident that many New Yorkers are eager to shed their winter layers.

Fashion amongst the crowds ranged from short skirts with bare legs, open toed shoes,

shorts, and silky blouses.

I, on the other hand, wore my fur hat, scarf, and thin down jacket.
One shop owner looked at me and said, "It must be cold outside."
Although I felt perfectly layered for the temperature,
I stated, "I'm overdressed."
