FEED for Target Chambray // J.Crew Tank // Old Navy Shorts // J.Crew Bag // Gap Sandals - Similar // Anthropologie Watch

As you already know, I love chambray.  You could probably catch me wearing one multiple times in a week.  So when I found this one at Target with the FEED collection it was a no brainer, it was coming home with me.  Plus it's a great cause that helps feed (obviously) those in need.  

On another note, I'm finally back to regular posting.  These last few weeks have been somewhat hectic but I am back and refreshed.  But how can you not be after a trip with the most beautiful views.  Sad to be back to reality to quick but happy for the time away!

LBD EASE

I don't know if it's the heat, the early drinking (it's 5 o'clock somewhere) or a simple lack of motivation but I have had a total writers block this week.  I opened and closed this post multiple times this week because I just couldn't think of anything to say that would be worthwhile (and I suppose I still haven't).  So I settled on this.  The good news (for me at least) is that once next Thursday rolls around I am headed out and onto a mini vacation.  Believe me, it couldn't come sooner!

Onto the dress... It's so light, airy and comfortable for these hot and humid days we've been experiencing.  Plus there's the cute little cutout in the back!  I added the fun shoes for a print pop but left everything else very simple.  What's your favorite way to wear an LBD?

WORTH THE WAIT

I think most people fall into one of two categories when they shop.  Either they buy something, rip the tags off and wear it immediately. Or, they keep the item and save it until they have the perfect time, place, or occasion to wear it.  I fall into the second category.  Case in point: I bought these shorts a month ago and wanted to wear them on the perfect day.  It's odd because they could have and should have gotten so much more face time.  However, now that I have broken the seal you will probably see them much more often, because they are just way too cute. These were definitely worth the wait!

SAFARI

I feel like any day I'm in a rut with my clothes, you know, where I sit there in front of my closet on the verge of a tantrum, I just need to remember that if I put a chambray shirt on with basically anything everything will be alright.  So that's how these old giraffe shorts plus a chambray became an outfit.  This is the very first chambray I bought (totally vintage J.Crew) that at one point I gave to my sister.  I then decided that while she was out of town I was going to steal it back because that's what sisters do of course.  She didn't notice until I wore it around her but she couldn't very well take it off my back could she?  So now I'm hoping I'll get to keep it.  I mean it was mine after all...

THIRD TIMES A CHARM

These J.Crew sandals are ones that I bought a couple years ago and have forever been a favorite in my closet.  The leather is tough which made them hard and slightly uncomfortable to break in, but once I did I took these babies all over town.  I wore them non-stop.  So much so that the bottom tore from the sole.  So when the chance came around to buy a second pair, I jumped on it and continued wearing them non-stop.  Then this past summer I moved and somehow in the mix of things, I lost my second pair.  I didn't realize it until this summer and was devastated thinking I would never see those perfect sandals again.  

 So one day I saw my friend Megan wearing her own pair of my beloved sandals and I expressed my love for them and something amazing happened.  The very next day she showed up with a fresh box and gave them to me (you should know that she has actually done this once before).  She happens to be my same size, very generous and has a tendency to buy multiples of things.  She gave me one of the greatest gifts... a third chance with my favorite leather sandals.  Now I just have to get through the process of breaking this pair in and I will once again be in summer sandal heaven.  I don't know how I will possibly repay her.  Maybe with redbull (her favorite drink).
