For this crash test I travelled both forward and back in time for you simultaneously.
Confused?
I got to experience the 31st of August twice, once near the end of a Melbourne winter and again in a hot humid New York Summer
My trip to New York is like getting an advance on Summer, a tantilising sneak peak. It has been a chance to cast off my dull heavy trackies and try out some light and bright outfits, pushing my colour-blocking boundaries
But I’m loving every detail of the vibrant colours, bright flowers, and the feel of warm breezes on my bare legs. The last time I hung out with Sussan it was down on the farm.
Linen jacket $99.95 , tank $24.95, bangles from $4.95 from Sussan
Denim skirt $29.95 from Old Navy (US)
Shoes – you have to guess, tell me in the comments

Thanks Brooke! Back home now, trying to catch up on my replies. I have so many more photos to share!
Oh, I love the shoes. Where are they from?
Chantelle {fat mum slim}’s last post..Set me up with your love.
Hi Chantelle, believe it or not, the shoes are Crocs! The soles are super comfortable. I ran around in the pouring rain chasing taxis no problem ;)
GET OUT! I never thought I’d hear myself say it, but… I want me some crocs. x

Ha ha! I even got a certain fashion blogger agreeing that they were nice ;). Get thee to your nearest Crocs store. You’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Looking great! I LOVE that graffiti of the woman in the red dress – that is amazing! Where did you find that?

Hi Kimberly. There is great street art everywhere. These photos are taken in the Meatpacking District/Chelsea area.
You look utterly fabulous, Laney. Hmm, heading to Sussan this week…J x

Not sure if I’m ready for summer and less clothes! Gorgeous pics. Love your jacket. Can’t wait to see the NY round up from you travelling girls. It’s been a nice virtual break
Alli @ Ducks on the dam’s last post..Holiday mode
Hi Alli – I’m inclined to agree with you having returned to freezing Melbourne temps and snow in the Dandenong ranges! I’m working on the photos I’ve taken, so many. Hope to get a post up tomorrow :)
I love the tank! I have been shopping the last couple of days and the bright colour block look is definitely in this spring! I bought bright blue jeans. I didn’t get to Sussan, but clearly am going to have to go check it out.
Aroha @ Colours of Sunset’s last post..Thankful Thursday
The tank is lovely. It’s nice and long and doesn’t ride up. I’ve got a pair of bright blue jeans too ;)
