This weekend I escaped busy NYC momentarily to take a quick trip to Boston. I had been once before, but with no agenda this time it was great just exploring the city and taking a moment to relax. From roaming Central Square to indulging in some dangerous chicken and waffles at Back Bay Social Club, turning down the pace of life a few notches for a couple of days was just what I needed.

With spring finally here I’m getting to leave the heavy jackets at home and opt for some light layering in my style picks. During a morning on Harvard’s campus, I wore this tan cardigan with great draping detail. On top I added this cool poncho, which as an bonus had deep pockets to store everything I needed to carry for the day. Despite the slight breeze, the poncho was heavy enough to keep me warm and not to mention, looked cool blowing in the wind.

All we’ve been hearing about lately is the big Mayweather fight, and finally last night it happened. Now I’m not big into sports (and admittedly can’t watch a fight without getting a little squeamish), but all this boxing talk helped inspire the fight night look I shot while visiting Boston. These floral shorts from Adidas caught my eye and from there I built a combo that knocks normal sportswear out the ring.

Sure, a bandage top, long blazer and booties aren’t your first thought with athletic shorts. But, it sure is a lot more fun than a hoodie! Plus, a funky outfit is the perfect match to some cool nail art.
