The summer heat has its way of energizing and tiring you all at the same time. I'm still in disbelief that we're finishing up the first week of August, and like most other summers, this one seems to be passing by too quickly.

With all this summertime adventuring I've found that my wardrobe has taken a back seat and likely won't see any major upgrade until layering season is back in session. So for now you'll find me venturing around the city and beyond in the clothes that will take me wherever the days bring, from morning to night.

My schedule regularly involves hopping from my full-time job to events and dinners around the city -- and for the sake of convenience I prefer to dress appropriately for everything, all at once. This breezy black dress couldn't have been more ideal for last week's outings. An easy footwear swap took me from my office to Superdry's Brooklyn rooftop party without annoying bags or awkward bathroom outfit changes. It is really the only summer wardrobe update I need -- easy, comfortable, and ready for anything.
