My goodness it is H-O-T, I'm not sure those three simple letters justify the hot spell New Yorkers are trying to survive.
When getting dressed this week my fashion goals were pretty simple, what's the lightest most breathable dress I own, that I can still conduct meetings in, and, last but not least, doesn't show any sweat marks! (ewww, I know, but a reality for any MTA commuter). I opted for this poly/cotton dress by Tramp, maybe not the most breathable fabric, but great cut-out in the back and a loose yet flattering silhouette didn't hold onto the heat like some long-lost-lover. 
As much as I love this butterfly fabric, I didn't wake up feeling ultra girlie - easy fix to that & my favorite trend popping up everywhere - spikes n' studs... combined two black leather studded belts for a more dramatic look around my waist, paired with fun purple studded heels from True Love boutique in Denver.
Finished the look with purple feather earrings by Freedom Star and a vintage white-sequin purse (square sequince have a stud feel, help tie it all together....it's the small things, giggle) from ReDress in Cobble Hill.
And that is this week's outfit! Let me
know what you think....
Now off to find a non-toxic beach!

One of the things about living in New York (for most of us) is that you-are-one with the elements. What do I mean? There is no car, garage, or covered walkway to spare you from the wind, rain or snow. So, what does that mean for someone like me who gets dressed from bottom - up? Cover those toes...and that, was the inspiration for this week's outfit. 
In the eight years I've lived in NYC, this has been the coldest spring yet. I won't complain much longer, this weather is a great opportunity to pull out jackets I haven't worn in years...like this beautiful honey-brown hand stitch leather jacket I found at a street fair in the West Village back in'04.
