If you’re ever feeling down, I suggest you walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and wander about 2 blocks South until you stumble into this smile-inducing, sunglasses-required, surface of the sun-hued, mural wall. In fact, I think the only thing brighter than this block was my neon sweater, printed shorts and green bag – because you know, why stop at one bold color in Summer, right? I last wore these shorts here (in a decidedly more tame manner) and have had this neon yellow lightweight sweater since college (full disclosure – I can’t stand to part with it because it strongly enhances whatever tan I’ve acquired by the time I pull it down from the back of my closet each year) – but this past weekend, pairing them together suddenly seemed like a great idea. A few simple gold accessories and a block’s worth of color splashed bricks and I was walking on sunshine the rest of the day.
While the Summer seems to be flying by (I mean how is it the end of July already?), I’m trying to slow things down by embracing distinctly Summer styles. Like this bright, feminine floral dress perfect for a spontaneous midweek date night. The dress teeters on the edge of being too girly for my style – but I love how the bold black trim, cool collar detail, and plunging neckline adds a little bit of edge to balance things out. Holding on to nights, weather and dresses like these until Fall edges its way in eventually.p.s.
