I wore this to dinner last night after The Boy and I decided in the 11th hour to dine out. We ended up at one of my favorite neighborhood spots, Pizzaiolo, where I enjoyed two Old Fashioneds, an asparagus and ricotta salad and a wild nettle and pecorino pizza (all while listening to ESG's A South Bronx Story 2, no less!). We concluded our lovely meal with a biscotti and some employment prospect-based self-loathing. MMMMMMMM!
