Happy Friday! Let me tell you, it is hard to mix patterns in the summer. Why? Because the thought of putting on another layer immediately makes me start sweating! Especially living in a city where I walk basically everywhere.

An easy solution is to utilize clothing as accessories and add your pattern that way. When my mom first saw this outfit, she thought the cheetah print was coming from a scarf. But, it is actually a cardigan I tied around my shoulders. I knew I was going to need a cardigan inside anyways to why not throw it over my shoulders where it doesn’t add extra heat or take up space in my purse?!

And now, on to this week’s podcast recommendation. Living in DC, it feels like there is always something going on in politics. I love listening to the Politico Playbook Audio Briefing in the morning. It is normally only 3-5 minutes and gives me a quick view of everything going on.
