There are a few things in life that will never get old: morning strolls by the water, the view of the Manhattan skyline, and floral print frocks.  … Okay, so maybe the first two have a little more longevity, but I love that there’s an infinite amount of ways to wear florals.  This is my first foray into mirrored prints and I’m really digging the sleek and modern twist on an otherwise everyday classic.  This dress will definitely be in heavy rotation both in and out of the office as we transition from summer to fall.

Even though I feel like I got a lot accomplished, this weekend FLEW by.  On Sunday, Tracy and I woke up at the crack of dawn (literally) for an early morning photo sesh.  Walking through the city at 6:30 AM was a completely different experience — the bustling streets and crowded parks were almost completely desolate.  Only a few crazies (present company included) were out and about so early.  It was eerie, but delightfully serene.

By the end of the morning, we had made our way to DUMBO.  We walked our way through the cobblestone streets and down the waterfront park, taking in the “never-gets-old” views of the Manhattan skyline.  And even though it’s only August, my color palette over the weekend feels like the seasons are already changing.  Oxblood is back, balanced with lighter cranberry chevrons for an outfit that has me excited for cooler  weather and a moodier season.

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; Forever 21 Twisted Cut Out Cuff; Gap Colorblock Leather Envelope Clutch; Urban Outfitters byCORPUS Silky Scallop Hem Red Dress; BaubleBar Ivory Sunburst Bib Necklace; Sam Edelman Sutton Leopard and Cognac Strap Wedge; Piperlime Tinley Road Camel Black Striped Ponte Fit and Flare Dress; C. Wonder Pyramid Gold Stud Cuff; Banana Republic Flavia Foldover Clutch in Berry; J.Crew Crystal Color Stone EarringsSam Edelman Sutton Wedges — $87.99 (on sale!)

Whenever I go shopping, I make it a rule to only buy pieces that I can imagine myself wearing in at least two or three different outfits — a standard that helps me to prevent impulse purchases and saves me from buyer’s remorse later down the road.

Well, when I saw these these Sam Edelman wedges on sale, I immediately conjured up two different outfits: the first look still very much in a bright, summer mindset and the second being slightly toned down for fall.  I love the looks equally and have pretty much convinced myself that these wedges pass the test!  Leopard, after all, is a neutral. Which look is your favorite?
