My outfits so far this week have been decidedly moody.  Darker, richer colors are seeping their way back into my wardrobe as it feels like fall is just around the corner.  And even though temps have been significantly cooler than usual, I have to remind myself that it’s still summer!  I need to stop dwelling on how fleeting the last weeks of the season feel and start enjoying all the adventures there are left to be had.  So today’s cheerier attitude calls for a much peppier outfit — and nothing says summer summer summertime than chambray, sandals and polka dots.

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.

Holy crap, it’s August.  Summer feels like it’s quickly slipping away, but at least July was one hell of a month.  From North Carolina to Rhode Island, long hair to short, 26 to 27, this month brought on new travels, a new ‘do and a new year of adventures.  Check out a recap of this month’s looks and let me know which one is your fave!
