Battling June Gloom

Skirt The Rules // Red and White Printed Sundress

I never realized that “June Gloom” was a thing until recently. We’ve been having a few showers here and there, but the mother of all summer storms rolled through NYC yesterday. When I say it went from sunshine to raining sideways in a hot second, I’m not exaggerating. It also happened to be the same day that 1) didn’t bother to check the weather in the morning and 2) forgot my wallet, leaving me with no choice but to bike home from work … in a pretty floral dress … drenched. Needless to say, yesterday was filled with a few poor life choices.

Back to the point at hand: I’m over this rainy day situation as much as I was over snow days last winter. I signed up for sunshine and clear skies and stacked my closet accordingly. I recently got this open-back sundress, this floral maxi print (and matching romper!) and this striped linen dress. Needless to say, the weather needs to start cooperating ASAP.

The Shirt Dress

June 22, 2015

Skirt The Rules // Summer Shirt Dress

Monday again? This weekend went by all too quickly. I was feeling desperate to get out of NYC, so James and I took an overnight trip to Asbury Park — a little beach town in New Jersey, about 2.5 hours away by train. It was a quick escape, but just the beachy respite I’ve been craving. Lately, I’ve felt this strong desire to break out of my routine — to experience new scenes and try on new looks. This shirt dress (which is 50% off today only!) is definitely a deviation from the easy, swing dresses I’ve been wearing lately. It’s so different from my vibe as of late, but at the same time, so me. It also comes in pink and black or white eyelet and they’re all half off today only. A new adventure and a huge sale — not a bad way to start off the weekend, am I right?
