For the past several days, NYC has been under the spell of cooler weather, with a side of rain. We are wearing cardigans, boots, and hats, thanks to the clouds, we haven't felt like we've been stuffed into a concrete oven. Especially with Fashion Week right around the corner and the September issues of magazines on newsstands, I can barely resist the urge to swipe on vampy nail polishes and lip colors, banishing any teal or magenta from my mind.
I want to step into the streets, wearing a blazer and a knit tam, with a hot cup of coffee in my hand and boots on my feet, ready to take on the day. Is that too much to ask for? Most likely yes, because after today the sun will be back, bringing temperatures in the high 80's for the foreseeable future. Now that I've dipped my toe into the cardigan pool, I don't want to turn back.
When do you decide that it's time to pull out the fall wardrobe? After Labor Day, do you banish your pinks in search of neutrals? Does the weather dictate your look? Share your thoughts in the poll below!
Although the New York City heat/humidity is melting the makeup off my face the instant I step outside, there is something to be said for looking ahead - towards Fall, that is.
