As you can see, I've written this post about 2 weeks before you see it. Today, I decided to take a trip into NYC to see what Universal Standard had for sale, and whether there was something I'd find worth buying. But I wasn't sure if I'd bother to go into NYC today, as the temperature was 15 degrees Fahrenheit with a light breeze. BRRRR!

When I got up this morning, I could feel the cold coming through the windows. There is only so much that can be done to heat up an apartment when the weather is this cold. Yet, around 10:30, I decided to get showered and dressed, and made it to the station with 20 minutes to spare.
The train made it to Manhattan by 12:45, and I was at the pop-up store before 1:30. One catch - there were 4 storefronts with the same numbered address, each with a different letter to identify their places in the building. (e.g.: 262-A, 262-B, 262-C, and 262-D) But once I found the place, it was easy for me to go through the racks. Sadly, I only found one garment worth buying. But that was OK.
Next, it was off to find something to eat. I found a bagel shop on the corner, and ordered a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a poppy bagel. Add a can of soda to that, and guess what I spent - roughly $20. I could have gotten the same in my neck of the woods for half the price. But I was hungry, and wanted something to fill my stomach.
Finally, it was back to Grand Central and a wait for RQS. She arrived around 3:30, and we were home by 5:00.
Now to try on my new dress....
