I just returned from a trip back east to celebrate my father’s wedding and spend a few days at the beach with my mom. It’s so easy for me to get into summer, relaxation mode. If chilling hard had been a class at NYU I would have crushed it. Nothing makes me want to watch sunsets, talk for hours on the beach or read for pleasure quite like long, hot days. This Summer however I have a lot going on. It’s all exciting stuff but it means my days are full and I have to take my effortlessness where I can get it like in my wardrobe. I’ve been reaching for easy dresses like this one and sandals with a short heel. I’ve also been taking my sun hat with me everywhere and staying hydrated of course.
