Since this is the last official week for vacations and holidays before the back-to-reality check of September, I declare this Travel Week on The City Girl in Me.

I put together this look for the Fashables Summer Trend Report and it has been an outfit I have constantly reached for this summer. I love how cool and comfortable I was while walking, and how easily I could change the look for date night by simply adding a pair of strappy heels like these or these.
