I just recently returned from a three day weekend in Manhattan. As most of you who have been there know, it's a very exciting city. And there's so much to see and do. The weekend I was there was also stinkingly hot, which meant everyone was struggling to stay cool. While the very nature of New York City makes it hard to tell the tourists from the natives, I think I spotted a few Manhattanites, who were managing to stay cool while looking fashionable.It was also refreshing to see color on people out about. In the first photo, I snapped visitors to the High Line Park, a must-see if you're ever in town. There are two women who are managing to look"pulled-together" here, in spite of the heat, the older lady on the immediate right and then the young lady in the green dress.
As you'll see in the close-up, she had paired the green dress with gold sandals and a gold purse, and it worked wonderfully well, looked terrific and was perfectly low muss, low fuss for the heat.
I also snapped this young lady who was all in navy, a refreshing change from black. She also was managing to look cool in spite of the high temperatures.
I also snapped these two young ladies - the angle of the sun and the direction I was walking sometimes meant I could only snap from the back - who were also managing to look sophisticated and cool. One is wearing an apricot colored top, with black leggings and black sandals, paired with a black and gold purse, while the other is in an olive jumpsuit and matching sandals. All in all, some stylish looks, that did not sink to the haphazard look so many people wear when they throw on any old item in an attempt to stay cool.
And, last but not least, there's always red white and blue, which always looks pulled together as you'll see in the final photo in this blog post.!
