What To Wear in an NYC Heatwave

I've spent most of the posts this summer sharing different variations of my summer uniform; a light-weight top and denim shorts, and this time around is no different. In order to add some variety to the predictable tank, I went for this split back piece I got a few years ago from Gypsy Warrior. It's perfect for a hot summer day when you want an alternative to cotton tops because of its breezy cutouts. The shorts are also an old favorite with their high-waistedness and perfectly faded wash they're suitable for any and all summer moments. These caged sandals that I bought on a whim have become an everyday solution to summer footwear have just enough height to show the effort of wearing a heel with zero discomfort. I hope everyone is staying cool in the last few weeks of the summer season!
