Boston Steals My Heart Again (Part 1)

This past summer I had the opportunity to go to Boston with my team from work, and I fell in love with the city. Once I was home, I couldn’t stop thinking about my time there, which drove me to impulsively book a plane ticket and hotel to visit again for my birthday in December. With three friends in tow, I headed east for the long weekend.

If you’re thinking Boston is a strange vacation choice for the middle of December, you’re not alone. Upon telling people I was going, most looked perplexed and oftentimes asked why I didn’t choose a warmer destination in order to get out of the Duluth cold for a few days. In my defense, Boston is warmer than Duluth; I got to bask in the sunshine and mid-thirties weather while Duluthians were dealing with temperatures in the teens and twenties, so who's laughing now?

Enough of my Boston obsession; let’s get to the wardrobe! As is customary for me, I significantly over packed my suitcase for our three day trip. A different coat for every day: check. Five pairs of shoes: check. A planned outfit for every day, plus extra tops and accessories in case of a spill or a desire for a wardrobe change: yes, a check for all of that, too. I even brought three different pairs of gloves, and guess how many I actually wore? If you guessed just one pair, you are correct! To everyone who manages with just a carry on for vacation, I applaud you; that's just never going to be a reality for me.

Check out the photos below of my outfits for our first two days in Boston. I've also included links below the photos which will direct you to items I wore or similar items at various price points.
