White Hot American Summer


In New York, we love complaining about how cold it is during the winter, but as soon as the temperature gets too hot during the summer, it's right back to cry-town.  As much as I wanted to avoid jumping on the weather-bashing bandwagon, it is seriously hot out there...like too hot for clothes hot!  I had to do some impromptu shopping yesterday just to find pieces that are actually suitable to wear in this intense heat.

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that I'm a huge fan of separates and layering, which I tend to favor over a lone dress or sheath.  However, these temperatures leave little choice for anything other than simple, loose, breathable fabrics–and dresses happen to be one of the best options.  I love this look book from Bec & Bridge, with it's beachy-meets-urban vibe.  Everything is relatively paired down, yet still has a fashion element to it, which is not easy to find.  Below are some more heat-approved favorites that fit the bill...
