About 89% of the reason why I love blogging has more to do with the locale than the clothing (okay, it really is mostly both equally). But scouting cool spots to shoot in front of certainly is one of the most fun aspects of it, and this shoot in particular is an excellent example. Hidden deep within the sizzling streets of Harlem are two adorable sister spots: a bar and a coffee shop, situated right next to each other with darling matching aesthetic. I have yet to experience the bar half of this locale, but the coffee shop side is simply delightful and has pretty yummy hibiscus iced tea— so with that, I was sold.
What I loved the most, however, was definitely that this locale really matched my outfit to a tee (lol pun intended). Staying stylish on really hot days can be absolute hell (because obviously all you want to do is get in a tank top and shorts and call it a day), so I came up with a look that's simple enough to keep you cool but stylish enough to gain some double takes. I started with this bralette by Brandy Melville, and complimented it with a high waisted black denim skirt from Urban Outfitters. To add a little swag, I went with a black bandana tied in a triangle around my neck, and paired the look with new shoe loves in my closet: white Adidas Originals. Super easy look that works in the sizzling climate apropos for both a coffee or a bar...
