I’ve been needing some new threads this summer for beach-going and to keep stylish in this heat. I hopped down Broadway and was stoked to see a Conway where clothes are less than $16.99 always and forever. Sadly, Conway was closed and, once I thought about it, I wasn’t going anywhere else to shop for the heat. Summer’s already a month deep and let’s get real – money’s always on the mind in this city. So I rolled over to Bushwick’s neighboring-hood, Middle Village, which has the closest open Conway to get my style for less.

So in this 3rd edition of “Urban Outfitters or Jimmy Jazz??” Hope Cardenas and I hit the streets for the photos. In case you don’t know Hope, she’s the enchantress behind those gluten-free and vegan muffins at Kave. And I say enchantress because she’s somehow managed to make vegan AND gluten free taste ridiculously delicious together, which is just straight alchemy as far as I’m concerned. So we giggled and had fun while snapping some shots around Morgan Ave. Check out what to buy this season.

In the first photo you’ll spot me wearing a black top that can be layered. You can do so over some sort of white cami to make it okay for you to wear to work, over your bathing suit so you can get some pretty creative tan lines at the beach. $12.99
