Summer shirting never felt so good. I'm managing to stay cool in this semi-sheer shirt from Marc by Marc Jacobs today as I run around the city. Summers in NYC can be brutal. Not only is is sweltering, but you have no choice but to take to the concrete jungle to get things done. I love not having to drive but weeks like this make me wish I was riding around the city in car with the AC on blast!

At first, I told myself that these extreme temperatures us New Yorkers experience throughout the year make us appreciate the seasons but really, I'm just talking myself off the 'I'm moving out of this damn city!' ledge. As much as I would like to walk the streets in shorts and a tank, there's days like today where I have to actually interact with people at meetings and events so this Summer Foulard Shirt could not have been delivered sooner. With a slightly sheer fabric, it lets in the breeze without completely exposing a nip-slip. P.S., honorable mention goes to these sick penny-loafers from a brand I just discovered, Paul Evans. The perfect dapper slip-ons for summer and beyond!
