Thursday–Sunday · Manhattan · Personal Days
Thursday
Travel day → Night out
▾
✈ Travel
Half-zip doubles as a blanket on the plane. Land looking put together.
🌙 Night Out
Clean, sharp, and the vest gives the red dress an edge. Statement earrings here.
Friday
Library · Bryant Park · NY Liberty
▾
📚 Library + Bryant Park
Hot pink cropped top + ripped jeans + denim jacket is still a strong look. Half-tuck the pink top to keep the proportions right.
🏀 NY Liberty Game
Black tee + olive jacket + ripped jeans + gold Adidas is a clean, effortless game-day look. Frees up the denim jacket for later in the trip too.
Black tee
Saturday
Biking · Picnic · Shakespeare in the Park
▾
🚲 Biking (morning)
53° in the morning — half-zip is necessary. Comfortable for the ride.
🧺 Picnic → 🎭 Shakespeare
Atari tee tucked into the pleated skirt is an unexpected combination that totally works. Bike shorts underneath for comfort. Bring the camel blanket in your bag — you will need it at Shakespeare when temps drop to 53°.
Sunday
Grey Dog Brunch · Museum · Night out
▾
☕ Brunch + Museum
Floral dress + denim is effortless and camera-ready for a Sunday brunch. Tan bag keeps it clean — the leopard's orange accents clash with the floral palette.
🌙 Night Out
Black vest over black tank + wide-leg trousers keeps the night-out look sharp and intentional. Already packed, already earning its place.
Monday–Sunday · Brooklyn · No BS Retreat
Monday Retreat
Travel to Brooklyn · Evening planning ☔ 40% rain
▾
🚇 Travel
Olive jacket is your best rain-day option. Real 40% chance — don't skip the umbrella.
🌙 Evening Planning (optional swap)
If you want to feel cuter/cozier for the evening, add the pullover. Easy swap, same bottoms.
Tuesday Retreat
Year 2 with Gary · Coaches outing ☔ 45% rain
▾
💼 Year 2 with Gary
Sky-blue vest finds its home here — Def Leppard tee + black wide-leg trousers + Gold Adidas — relaxed but polished for a day with Gary.
🍸 Coaches Outing (evening)
Floral dress second appearance — different context, different week. Tan bag works better here than the leopard with this palette.
Wednesday Retreat
Lunch w/ Calvina · Welcome Reception @ Pia's ☔ 35%
▾
🥗 Lunch
Denim jacket over black tank + cropped jeans — casual-cool for lunch. Clean and easy.
🐆 Welcome Reception — First Impression
Leopard on leopard — you either commit or you don't. You're committing. The denim jacket grounds it and keeps it from going too precious. This is a memorable first impression for the retreat crew.
Thursday Retreat
Main Retreat Day · Watertower Dinner
▾
🔥 Main Retreat Day
All-black anchored by the tan belt. Sleek and powerful for your biggest retreat day. The vest gives structure without formality.
🍷 Watertower Dinner
Red dress + pink belt + gold Adidas is a creative, WOW-cool look — not trying to be fancy, just interesting. The denim jacket seals the "I know what I'm doing" energy. The tan bag keeps the warm palette cohesive without competing with the red.
Friday Retreat
Retreat Day 2 (outside) · VIP Evening ✨
▾
🌤 Retreat Day 2 (outdoor)
Comfortable, practical, and the rust/earth tone palette is cohesive with the olive. Olive gets its third day of work here.
✨ VIP Evening — The Fish Vest Moment
The fish vest is your most distinctive piece and VIP evening is when the most new people will be watching you. Comfortable, creative, and completely Brooklyn-coded. Last year: fur coat. This year: fish. The theme continues.
Saturday Retreat
Bathhouse · Lunch · Coaches Workshop
▾
🛁 Bathhouse
🍜 Lunch
Post-bathhouse cozy. The red Birkenstocks pop against the neutrals.
📋 Coaches Workshop (if separate)
Quick change if needed. The skirt dried fast from any hand-washing earlier in the trip.
Sunday
Comfy travel home ✈
▾
✈ Travel Home
Cozy, pulled-together, and you'll arrive home looking like you weren't destroyed by 11 days of NYC.
