What are you going to wear? Sometimes it’s good to look at a few suggestions then add your own tweaks and ideas. That’s what these are for. This is the time of year when it can be insufferably hot for long stretches… and then the heat will break and you can smell the first signs of Pumpkin Spice Lattes being prepared somewhere in the distance. The light has changed, the nights and early mornings can be almost pleasantly cool, but then the heat’ll spike by mid afternoon and it’ll be toasty again. Here are three looks which dip a toe into some cooler weather pieces & colors, while still maintaining a grasp on the reality that is August.
