Summer Stripes

Sure, it is officially summertime but occasionally the weather goes a bit wacky here in New York City and we will have days where the high does not reach 70 degrees. So how do you dress for the weather but still look summery? My favorite way is with a pair of white jeans, a striped top, and wedges.  When my mom was in town at the beginning of the month I wore this outfit to our casual Sunday brunch.

We began our morning with coffee and after a few photos my mom and I headed to meet my brother for brunch.  Kevin is a super picky eater so the majority of my favorite places would not have been his cup of tea, thus we went to Southern Hospitality, a soul food restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen.  Along with more coffee I ordered the asiago and fresh spinach omelet and my brother chose the classic chicken and waffles, entree size, not the brunch portion.

And after brunch we took a quick family photo and it was just the three of us, as my dad was unable to make it to the city on this trip.  And no, my mom and I did not plan on similar nautical looks. 

On our way back from brunch we stopped by this piece of pop art to snap a few photos.  The massive 13-foot tall HOPE Sculpture was designed by Robert Indiana is located on West 53rd Street and 7th Avenue.  The red color was a perfect compliment to my blue and white outfit.
