The return of the DKNY romper! Funnily enough, according to my Timehop app I wore this romper in Florida on the exact same day 2 years ago. This is what I wore on our last day for another visit to Universal. The benefits of having an annual pass mean we can spend our days just sitting around enjoying the atmosphere.

Most of this day was spent in Diagon Alley, as most of our days are. We had a leisurly lunch in The Leaky Cauldron and I had one of my favorite drinks, Otter's Fizzy Orange Juice. It is sooo good, and made special by cinnamon on the rim of your cup. The first time I had it was at the press preview for the opening of Diagon Alley and I rarely get it now because its $5 and I'd rather just have free water.

On Tuesday I shared by Washington DC cherry blossom photo diary and today I'm sharing my only outfit post from the trip. I was in DC for 3 and a half days but only explored on Saturday and Sunday since I worked from my friend's place on Thursday and Friday. I meant to take photos on Saturday but I kept forgetting because we were having so much fun running around the city.

Unfortunately the lighting isn't the best in these photos because there were so many shadows due to the flowers and I had to find spots with no people (which was a challenge.) But I'll take what I can get!  The day was BEAUTIFUL, it finally felt like Spring.

And here's a quick look at my travel outfit on Thursday. As you can see, I'm working hard on the train on the way into the city. I had a long afternoon of travel mixed with work when I wasn't on a plane or walking in between modes of transport. Sometimes you gotta work in weird places.

Sweater: DKNY (Net-a-Porter sale), Jeans: Free People, Tee: Piperlime

I did manage to get a couple shots of 2 outfits from the rest of the trip, so here's a super quick look at them! I always keep my vacation looks simple - sweater (or tee) and jeans. DONE! That way I don't have to worry about multiple pieces per look and it helps me pack lighter. The only accessories I bring are my rings (which you don't get to see much of in my full outfit shots)

This photo was taken at a brand new Easter Egg at Universal. If you've seen Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them you'll recognize this as the entrance to The Blind Pig, a bar for wizards in New York City.

We spent our last night at Disney Springs since we can't go to Florida and not do something Disney related! ;)

Sweater: Anthropologie

It wouldn't be London without some rain. Oddly enough this was the first trip where I've experienced a full day of rain. We headed to Oxford in the afternoon to visit Christ Church since some Harry Potter scenes were filmed in the interior. I also experienced Nandos for the first time. Unfortunately I was dumb and got a pita when I should have gotten the burger version (Not a fan of sauces or cole slaw...)

This is the front porch of our apartment. Isn't it gorgeous!!!! I was in love with the Airbnb I found for us. The woman who lived there had such a unique style so it was a really fun place to stay. We even had a shared garden with the whole block, unfortunately we never had time to go in.

This is what I wore for our day of going to Christmas Afternoon Tea at the Chesterfield Mayfair and part two of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.  I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't a huge fan of the play when I read it over the summer. But as a production I really enjoyed it! The way they showed the magic and other special effects in the show were truly amazing. And all of the actors were perfectly suited for their roles! My personal favorites were Anthony Boyle (Scorpius Malfoy), Paul Thorne (Ron Weasley) and James Howard (Draco Malfoy.) Sam Clemett and Jamie Parker were also perfect as Albus Severus and Harry Potter.

I've been back from London for 5 days, but thanks to the blog I get to relive it while posting outfit photos! Here are photos from day 1, December 28th. I flew out of New York City on the 27th and landed early on the morning of the 28th. My friends and I stayed in Notting Hill which has always been a dream of mine. It's such a pretty neighborhood with lots of colorful houses. Our street was all white but beautiful all the same.

After we arrived and checked into our Airbnb I changed into this outfit for our trip to the theatre. We saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which is a two part play taking place 19 years after the Harry Potter books ended.  Part 1 was on Wednesday evening so we had just enough time to run to the grocery store down the street, get a quick bite to eat and head over to the theater. We were lucky enough to get front row seats and were right in the middle of the action. We could literally see the spit from the actors (the guy who plays Scorpius Malfoy is particularly precise with his wording, but I LOVED him.)

I've had this dress for almost 4 years and this is the first time I've worn it unbuttoned. I have no idea why I never did it before because it looks so much better this way! It's a little frumpy when I wear it buttoned because its looser up top. I love that this dress looks like three pieces even though it's only one., Makes it so easy to wear, just throw on a fun pair of shoes and you're good to go.

You haven't seen much of this romper on the blog this year after it appearing a LOT last Summer, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been worn. It's still what I turn to on those days where I don't want to think about what I'm wearing.

These sandals, on the other hand, aren't getting as much love as they should. These are actually the first pair of Ancient Greek Sandals I bought. This was back when they only had a few colors so I went with the tan, also why I don't wear them as much - they get super dirty! I now have SIX pairs from the brand. I still have to get a pair fixed, I'm so lazy!

Romper: DKNY Jeans, Sandals: Ancient Greek Sandals 'Ikaria'

This outfit was my attempt at getting out of my style rut. It's still jeans and a cardigan but I tried to mix it up a bit with the distressed boyfriend jeans and oversized sweater plus super tall sandals. Luckily this sweater is thin enough that I can wear it when it's a little on the warm side. It won't be great for full on Summer, but it's great Fall through Spring!

Cardigan: DKNY (Net-a-Porter sale), Tee: Madewell, Jeans: American Eagle, Sandals: Guess (Marshalls), Necklace: Madewell

I can't get over my obsession with this sweater. It's like a security blanket for me. If I don't know what to wear I wear this. If I'm going on a plane in the winter/fall, I wear it. Some items I'm quick to purchase even if they're expensive and I end up hardly wearing them. Such is the case with a lot of items in my closet, sadly. I am getting better at not buying things just because they are on super sale, but I've got a long way to go before I made good purchases all the time. However, this was totally worth the $94 I was hesitant to pay last January during the NAP sale.

And we're back to throwback outfits after a couple weeks off! Here's another full recreation with the exact same items! This is such a comfortable outfit, especially considering I'm wearing a dress. But it's not just any dress, it's a sweater dress! The best kind of dress.
