Dream Shopping: Summer Essentials

It’s a cruel summer, leaving me here on my own (it’s a cruel, cruel summer!). Though most of my friends have packed up and gotten the heck out of dodge, I have another full three months to say my goodbyes to Boston. Lonely? Possibly. But it’s also a chance to get myself to some of my favorite alone time spots, the kinds one normally doesn’t have time for when there are - gack - people around. The MFA? Check. Shopping on Newbury? Oh, yes. Old films at the Brattle? I will be there. And though I might have to spend the summer on my lonesome, that doesn’t mean I can’t get dressed to do it, right?
An ideal outfit for the modern urban warrior. Let’s just hope that someday my bank account will catch up with my dreaming.
