SEE THROUGH

J.Crew dress // J.Crew belt - Similar // Seychelles Heels // Target watch // J.Crew link bracelet // J.Crew lipstick "peony pink"

Before there was June gloom there was sunshine, and that's when I got my very obvious sunburn.  I'll keep it as a reminder that better weather will soon come.  

I love this dress because it's not quite maxi length which I think is good for me since I'm quite short so it gives the illusion that I have much longer legs than I do.  I stalked and stalked this dress and then it went on sale (because who doesn't want to spend less on something they want?) and I maybe underestimated just how sheer it is.  Whoops!  Wanting things often times blinds me of their imperfections and makes me determined to make them work. So I stuck a slip under it but then realized in the right light you can see it, which I suppose is better than the other things you would see without it.  Anyway, lesson learned don't buy things that show the lady goods.

PLEATS

J.Crew Factory Blouse // Madewell Skirt // Madewell Belt// J.Crew Bag // Gap Sandals // Anthropologie Watch

This is one of those outfits that when I got ready in the morning I thought "Ok, looks good".  Only to realize after taking pictures that a long day of work can make an outfit you thought was cute early in the morning something you really would have rather passed on.  Don't get me wrong, I do love this skirt but the hair is flat and the whole thing is just not working.  Regardless, the pictures are posted because everyday is not a perfect outfit kind of day.  Next time, instead of coming up with the outfit in the morning when I'm in a rush to leave maybe I'll actually try it on the night before.  Probably not, but maybe....

JUST A JUMPER

J.Crew Jumper // Sam Edelman Sandals // J.Crew Bag // J.Crew Bracelets // Selima Sunnies // Anthropologie Watch-Similar

Well. once again I can't say enough good things about the weather this weekend.  Warm without being hot and the added bonus of a slight breeze.  We spent a good majority of it outside, going on walks and sitting outside enjoying some new reading material.  Over the last week we started and finished both seasons of Revenge-oops!  So now of course we feel very lost, hence the reason we each started reading.  

Anyway, back to clothes.  Jumper's are comfortable-like acceptable pajamas and make for an easy day of shopping.  I've had this one a long time and just remembered to pull it out again. If you're looking for one, this one and this one from Anthropologie and very cute!

UMM... SKORT?

J.Crew Chambray // Zara Skort // Sam Edelman Sandals // J.Crew Bag // Target Watch // J.Crew Bracelet

This was one of those skirts, I guess I mean skorts (never thought I would utter that word after the 8th grade)... that I justified to myself because I said "oh... I'll probably return it".  So much so I even asked about the return policy just to be certain I would be able to, knowing all the while it would live very well in my closet.  And, I must say I'm glad I kept it, but of course I knew I would all along.  

Despite the initial shock of wearing a skort again, I think it's the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe because you can be all wild and free as if you're wearing shorts, yet feel classy and refined because it looks like a skirt.  Kind of like a mullet-business in the front, party in the back.  Another recommended buy!

Happy Memorial Day!
