To escape the grind of the city, Ashley and I met in Central Park after work last week to celebrate the end of summer and catch up over wine and cheese. We both turned up, unbeknownst to the other, in denim shorts, but rightfully so. What other article of clothing will we more begrudgingly retire come fall? Here, see more details of our late summer outfits, plus the picnic essentials to create your own al fresco dining set up, whether you live in Manhattan or Montana.
