Summer florals

July 6, 2015

DSC_0953DSC_0941DSC_0968DSC_0983DSC_0949

Hi everybody! I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend! I definitely did, and loved getting the extra day off from work, extra time to visit with friends, and an excuse to hang out outside and indulge in some red, white, and blue goodies!

I wanted to share this outfit as a great go-to for outdoor events in the summer heat. I love wearing this tank on hot days because it’s light and airy, and hangs loosely away from my body. You can pair any easy fitting shorts with this top, since the waist line is hidden, and if you’re going for a bit more of a polished look, wedges are the perfect summer shoe. They provide a bit more stability than heels on tricky surfaces (cobblestones and grass as the two main offenders), and are definitely more comfortable for long wear (and I’ve been wearing this pair a ton lately!). I will admit that I still need to focus whenever I’m wearing anything that’s not flat to the ground on uneven surfaces. There I was, walking along after snapping these photos, and I got distracted laughing, stepped in a pothole, and almost ate it. Le sigh. One day I’ll leave clumsy moments like this behind. One day.

Happy Monday everybody! I hope you have a great week ahead, and thanks so much for stopping by!

Outfit:

Top: ASTR (sold out, similar here)
Bottoms: Madewell (old)
Shoes: Sam Edelman (sold out, similar here)
Accessories: Ralph Lauren sunglasses (old), Bauble Bar necklace, J. Crew Factory bracelet, Bauble Bar ring, ring, and ring

    Really cute shorts. The wedges compliment the look & NYC perfectly. But more importantly, you standing on one of my favorite streets in the city. Rarely do I go to the Bowery during the day and if I do, it’s to go shoping at Oak. In doing so, it prompted me to ask my photographer to meet me there. I did a shoot in the begining of January in the very same spot as you….. I love it!
