As you know from the last time that I was in New York for fashion week, I like to play tourist in between the shows. Well, on this day, I took a little stroll through Central Park. 

Just in case you weren't aware, New York was experiencing a little bit of a heat wave. Like any good traveler, I checked the weather prior to my arrival. However, living in Arizona has my gauge for weather completely screwed up. Ninety-five degrees is a nice day. 

So, I saw 80 and packed as if I read 65 degrees. My bag was full of cooler weather options like this embellished sweater and tiered maxi skirt. Lesson learned: Sometimes, you will have to make some sacrifices in the name of fashion.

Yes, I was hot.

Have you ever experienced that day that won't stop? After work, there's happy hour with co-workers, of course, dinner with friends and you just have to "stop by" your favorite bar/lounge. I know if I go home, that's pretty much a wrap on the rest of the day! You now know it and my friends know it, too!

That's why this look was pretty spot on for the day that won't quit. Add the H&M blazer for business during the day, take it off for a little party at night.
