Urban Betsy: A Taste of Summer

I assure you, you do not have doggy vision right now. I just thought it'd be a nice change to switch up the color scheme on this blog and go B&W for a bit. I have made a vow to myself and my poor readers who have had to put up with my monochromatic nature that I will add more color to my wardrobe this coming summer. As you can see I haven't been doing a great job so far. I guess ombre counts as an effort right? Currently, I can't seem to get around to washing this sweater I got from Brandy Melville, you can blame it on separation anxiety. I've been on the hunt for the perfect summer sweater this month, one that doesn't give you shameful pit stains after riding the train. Thankfully to the California-themed, teen-spirit-smelling store on Broadway between Spring and Broome, my hunt was very short-lived. It's super light and has a nice drape for summer weather, not to mention the ombre. I pair it with just about ANYTHING. Of course, the wanna-be vixen in me chose a tight leather skirt. :P Have a lovely, beautifully-weathered weekend everyone!

I booked a last minute trip ... bet you can't guess where my next post is gonna be at. Stay tuned, readers. :)
