Since I’ve been in New York for the summer, I’ve been dying to come here. It’s become such an iconic place to take photos, and of course being a sucker for all things basic, I had to snag some of my own shots here.

Since it was such a hot and humid day, I thought it would be perfect to wear this light, airy dress. The key to staying cool in crazy hot temperatures is to wear loose-fitting clothing, and this dress definitely fits the bill. Plus, yellow has been a trendy color for a while now, and it adds such a nice pop of color to any backdrop. I also just love wearing it because it makes me feel so bright and cheery! Don’t underestimate the power of color and what it can do for your wardrobe and your mood.
