What I Wore: Snakeskin Printed Pants…Really?
Yes I wore snakeskin printed pants and I love them. When I first purchased the pants almost everyone I told or showed were not convinced that I could make these pants work. I think I did pretty good! These pants are probably the most comfortable pair of pants that I own. The material is extremely soft and I love that they have wide legs. I also love the versatility as they can be worn as high waisted pants as well. These babies will get a few more wears before it is time to pack them away until next year, but I absolutely love them!

Today in New York it is a little cool and today would be a perfect day to rock a pair of casual ankle boots with a pair of skinny jeans rolled up at the ankle or if you want a pair of shorts. I am not big on wearing boots during the dog days of summer, actually I am not a fan of this look at all, but some people love it. If the temperature is low, no humidity, and there is a nice breeze then the choices I have below are perfect for you. More Asos...
