#nofilter in Central Park
I had the perfect weekend. The sun was shining as bright as summer, but there was a cool breeze that lent a nice crispness to the air. It was a day meant to enjoy and many people were out taking advantage. Normally I would take the opportunity to go for a run (fall and spring have the most perfect running weather), but instead I decided to go for a walk. Walks aren't my usual thing. I consider myself a kinetic personality that bores easily. As soon as I start a walk for recreation, I begin concentrating on the finish, and then my leisurely walk turns into a brisk walk until next thing I know, I'm wishing I decided to run instead.
This time I planned for that and instead of listening to my usual playlist, I played classical music on Pandora. I thought the change of tunes would calm my frenetic brain, which in turn would help me just relax and enjoy the scenery. It did. What an experience! I've never really listened to classical music although it's been recommended to me numerous times. Listening to it in broad daylight while strolling around the Harlem Meer and Botanical Gardens in Central Park was akin to being in the middle of my own independent film score. It was really quite amazing and relaxing. I will definitely be making a habit of this.
While there, I decided to stop for a few photos. I wasn't planning on it. Therefore I was at my most casual, which probably makes these the most honest pics I've taken in a while. #nofilter means no makeup, my trusty-dusty stinky Converse, a pair of Habitual coated jeans in Chocolate, a Marc by Marc Jacobs coat that is in dire need of dry cleaning and accessories from Beyond Rings and Scotch & Soda.
See the rest of the pics after the jump.
