There are plenty of Instagramable spots in NYC, but my favorite photo-ops are the murals that pop-up around the city. Yumi Kim really outdid themselves when they painted the side of their Lower East Side store (AND the trash bins that lined it) with this dreamy, pastel flower mural. If you aren't familiar with Yumi Kim, it's an American, contemporary fashion brand who's claim to fame are the beautiful and intricate floral prints they incorporate into all their pieces. Murals are a very popular marketing tactic in NYC right now. I hope more brands jump on board with this trend – more photo-ops for me! Side note: you have no idea how disgusting the ground and area around the photo frame was. One trash bin was missing a lid and there was litter covering the ground. It's amazing how much can be concealed when you strategically crop a photo!
Lets talk outfit: I recently purchased these pants for around $55 and have gotten more than my money's worth out of them. They are lightweight so they make the perfect summer work pant. Another great aspect is the removable belt. It really multiplies the amount of tops you can pair with the pants as some tops look better with a synched waist and others look better without. If I want to tuck a shirt in, I'll utilize the belt, but if I'm wearing a shirt that looks better untucked, I'll leave the belt behind.
