Hot. Hot. Hot.

I’m talking about the temperature in NYC, that is. It’s going to be a scorcher the next few days so I thought I’d show just how I’ll be dressing to fight through the street heat and humidity. It’s all about keepin’ it cool and casual, and definitely breathable. I also think that it’s important to show how in the heck I’ll pull off these bangs through 90’s and above temps.

I took these pics after a full day in the heat to show that sweaty or not, you gotta rock em’. If you’re a bangs girl, pull them back into a top knot or wear them to the side.  Although my hair is nice & sweaty here, it’s definitely easier to get away with a short bang if you can pull them a little away from your face. Try a head band or a fun hair accessory to help accentuate your bangs, too!
