Heat Wave

We are experiencing a pretty brutal heat wave here in NYC.  Even I, someone who prefers the warmer months to the cooler, am finding it pretty rough!

In an effort to keep cool, I kept my outfit super simple - lightweight swingy top and easy shorts.

I just found this top on super sale - though it's pretty sweet and girly, the sheerness keeps it from being too sweet.

The slouchy cut of the shorts work nicely with the shirt.

Keeping things easy and breezy!

With my hat keeping the sun off my face I was almost comfortable.  Hah!

Red Hot

I've spent most of the week wearing some variation of this outfit.  Skinny jeans paired with a comfy top.  Pretty fool-proof. Only this time, I punched it up a notch with bright red jeans.

 It has been colder for the past couple days, so I layered a warmer jacket over a sweatshirt.

These jeans are a little different than your standard colored jeans.  They have an interesting, almost tie-dyed, effect in the fading.

I couldn't wait to break out these sandals.  I got them a couple years ago and look forward to breaking them out each year!

Mixing brights and colors keep the outfit nicely balanced.

Queens

This past weekend, we took a quick day trip out to Connecticut to visit family.  On the way back, we stopped by the Queens Museum to see the current show featuring a couple pieces by artist (and good  friend) Palden Wienreb.

We took advantage of the last bit of sunshine to snap a few pictures in the park outside the museum.

 This is my new favorite belt.  It's a bit hard to tell, but it's neon yellow.  The perfect little dose of neon for any outfit.

A bright blue bag and red shoes added a nice touch of color.

Somehow I managed to match my lipstick perfectly with the flowering trees!

It was nice to get out of the city and be outside on such a beautiful day.
