SUMMER STYLE WITH NYDJ: #FITTOBE CAREFREE

The Steele Maiden: Summer Style with NYDJ #fittobe denim

I know that around these parts I’ve started to mention Fall fashion.. but IRL (in real life) I’m savoring every last second of Summer. That includes after dinner trips to the neighborhood’s best ice cream shops, outdoor movies in the park, spontaneous day trips on the weekends and as many visits to the lake house as we can possibly squeeze in. With that in mind – I need clothing that is #FitToBe as carefree as I am at the end of the summer season. Enter NYDJ. I took a few of my favorite pieces from the brand along with me for a Friday evening in New York, Saturday picnic by the water and Sunday evening dock date (aka I ran them through the ringer) and here’s how it went…

Blame it on the heat but this weekend was nowhere near as productive as I meant for it to be. Instead of tackling my to do list, I wandered around the neighborhood yesterday in this easy white denim shorts and printed shirt combo. That’s what Summer is for, right?

SUMMER WHITES FOR A LAKE GETAWAY

White cutout top and white denim shorts, lakeside weekend getaway

I grew up a few hours from the Poconos Mountains and had always gone in winter to ski, but had never visited during the Summer until meeting Adam. His family has a cabin on Lake Wallenpaupack there and we are lucky enough to spend plenty of Summer weekends there now. For those in the New York area, it’s just a 2+ hour drive (car or bus are the easiest ways to get there) and a blissful escape from the city.

In case you haven’t noticed.. I’m a pretty big fan of hats (latest evidence here and here). I’ve especially upped my Summer hat game in the past couple of months and this red and white floppy version is my newest edition. On major sale and just in time for Fourth of July.
