citrus



Dress: Zara (similar style here or I'd KILL for this by Wang). Gladiator sandals: Sigerson Morrision (plainer versions here or these cuff ones in diff colours).  Bag: Cambridge Satchel (worn before here). Nails: Essie 'Bright Tights' (looks 10x brighter in real life and I love it!).  Shades: Ray Ban

This is what I wore when it was 100 degrees in New York.  Yes - 100 degrees. I mean -  I looked at my wardrobe that morning and thought 'Karen wtf do you wear when it's 100 outside???' 

I went with this grecian style dress from Zara bought a good two years ago-ish. It's white, cotton and light - anything heavier and I would've melted.  Even the bag couldn't be dark.

Still sweated my a** off.  Bloody global warming.

  17. That dress is such a refreshing look in this heat! It's been 110+ over here where I am for the entire month, and it looks like August will be the same, too. And goodness, instantly coveted that fluorescent satchel.

  23. OMG Girl, I have the same problem in my state the temperature is ridiculous! I can't stand it. I hope it gets a little colder over here, so I don't have to sweat when I immediately walk out the door. lol

    The simplicity of this outfit is amazing! You are so inspirational to me! LOVE IT! :D

    Have a Good Day!

  28. I remember living in NYC and thinking that in the summer it;s always hotter then the weather report lets up to and in the winter it's always colder. For it being so warm you picked a perfect outfit. Great pop of color with your satchel.
    Cheers,

  31. you me hello - I know. Ridiculous!!

    Thx everyone re the nail polish. I HIGHLY recommend you lot get it if you can find a bottle. I already want a back up.

    Melanie Alexandra - I always wondered how the American Apparel versions were. Are they VERY neon?

    Monroe Steele - I don't see the bag that much when around New York which at the end of the day is the most important bit: do I see it when I walk around. You'll LOVE IT if you get one. I've had at least 4 people buy one after seeing mine in real life. LOL!! Geeeet iiiiiiit (I'm terrible aren't I).
