I’m naturally drawn to neutrals–mushrooms, creams, blush pinks, you name it–but since summer is my favorite season, it’s definitely a time when I embrace dressing as colorfully as I feel. This week I went on three lunchtime walks with Alan and even though we came back to the office an hour later a hot and sweaty mess, I realized how great it is to be able to spend time together, in the middle of the day, out in the sun, most days of the week–a really fun perk to working together (not to mention the carpooling!) These bright pieces are perfect for soaking in sunshine and sipping iced tea on leisurely summer walks.
