Easy and Breezy

What I'm wearing: Gap dress and espadrilles, NY & Co. outlet necklace, Mondani bag via Steinmart

A heat wave is definitely upon us here in NYC. Which means you'll probably be seeing a lot more of this same combination in the coming days. Sundress + statement necklace= easy and breezy (yes that was a little cheesy. And wow, that all rhymed. Making it even MORE cheesy). But seriously, when its this hot and humid, sometimes all you can do is just throw on a simple dress. I've been dying to try out my new red jeans, but it's just too darn hot. Maybe I'll give them a try once my new babies get here (ordered them this morning! Damn you Nordstrom sale for being so tempting! I've got my eye on some Frye's too...)

It's getting hot, hot, hot

What I'm wearing: H&M blouse, J.Crew outlet striped skirt, J.Crew flats, Urban Outfitters earrings, NY&Co. bangles, Tiffany's bracelet

It's a good thing I wore this light blouse and airy skirt yesterday, because it was HOT. We had a heat advisory here in NYC, and temps were in the high 90s. On any given day at work, I run at least a few errands, so I have to keep the heat in mind when getting dressed in the morning. I feel like this outfit was subconsciously inspired by this one, which has been all over pinterest.This striped skirt is a newer purchase, and I just love it. I wanted to pair it with my navy blazer, but it's way too hot for that. Well I'm off to battle the heat for the last time...it's almost the weekend!

Feels Like Brand New

Just a real quick post of my outfit today since I already posted earlier about my jacket dilemma. I have been sticking to lots of dresses and skirts for work since its so hot, and I never know when I'm going to be running errands around the city. Today I walked about a mile and a half total on my little shopping spree- thats a decent amount of time outside in this warm, warm weather. Thankfully, I was prepared in a breezy skirt and tank, paired with flat sandals.

Occasion: work
What I'm wearing: Old Navy tank, American Apparel skirt, Fossil necklace, J.Crew Outlet belt, Isaac Mizrahi for Target sandals

Lately, I have been trying to utilize things from my closet I don't normally wear. For instance, the yellow top I wore last week hadn't seen daylight in over a year. Today I decided to bust out this necklace which also hasn't been worn in quite some time. Frankly, I kind of had forgotten I owned it. Paired with a belt that also doesn't get much use, it felt like I had on a brand new outfit. I'm definitely going to need to go through all of my accessories before the 30 for 30 challenge starts to make sure I'm using all of them to their full potential. I'm starting to get really excited for the challenge; its one more reason I'm looking forward to going home!
