This may sound extreme, but I was still wearing my fall coats until the end of April in New York City because of the terrible weather. Admittedly, I’m cold, but the temperatures were still in the 40s and 50s. Now that it’s finally warm here, I’m so excited to start thinking about warm weather clothes again.
I usually only wear skirts and dresses, so naturally, my wish list is full of them this season. I’m especially looking for 100% cotton pieces and slip dresses from brands like Araks, Brooke Callahan, Guizio, Matteau, Rat Boi, Rue Sophie, St. Agni, With Jéan, and more. Besides, I can never have enough tank tops, so I’ll also update my basics with brands like CDLP, Flore Flore, Gap, and J.Crew.
As for shoes, I’m usually in low heels like kitten-heel sandals or breathable flats like Camper’s mesh Mary Janes and the Gimaguas Bailarina Neopreno pair I was looking for. Keep scrolling to shop these pieces and more below.
