Summer is here! Unofficially, at least. It was absolutely beautiful in New York City over the long weekend…ย Loads of sunshine, perfect temperatures, and no rain. I definitely can’t complain! I spent the weekend relaxing in Central Park, ventured to Brooklyn for ice cream cones under the bridge and lobster rolls at Luke’s, and had a few rowdy nights out in the East Village with some friends. Tis the season!
I wore this outfit out to dinner at one of my favorite pizza spots — Numero 28 on 2nd Avenue in the East Village. (Their pizzas are so, so good! And it’s BYOWine, too.) This easy ensemble was perfect for the occasion because the lace top hid my food baby after I’d consumed 27 slices of pizza. Both the top, scalloped shorts, and wicker handbag are from J McLaughlin, who recentlyย gave their website a fresh facelift! I’m loving so many of their preppy summer pieces. I’ve only had this top for a week now and I’ve worn it on three different occasions — to a client’s office under a blazer last week, dinner over the weekend, and drinks while catching up with friends last week. It’s going to be on repeat all summer long! (Same with the wicker bag!)

What a great outfit! The scallops and lace compliment each other so well without being too busy. I’ve never worn J. McLaughlin before how does it fit with regard to sizing?

I’m loving scalloped trimmed clothes. It’s such a flirty embesslishment that I think softens up any look.

This look is so cute! I really hate wearing shorts (they never fit like you want them too, and ride up in the *ahem* area too much for my liking). That top though, is definitely a summer must-have.
