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.

    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.

    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! 😀

    Have a Good Day!

  31. Bre says:

    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,
    Bre

    Lovely outfit, very casual chic! The contrast of the dress with the yellow bag looks great. Also, love the nail polish!

    Beautiful dress!

  36. Karen says:

    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).

  39. madzia says:

    very nice bag 🙂

  40. Karen says:

    Anon/Nathalie/Madzia – thx it’s unusual to see them (esp in neon) in NY which makes it more special. Get one if you ever are thinking about it or have a bday coming up ; )
