Hello, summer!! And reader(s?)! It's been awhile since I posted -- when the weather has been as gorgeous as it was for the past few weeks, I can usually be found in paint-splattered shorts and a grubby tank as I work up a sweat in the yard. Definitely not post-worthy.
Tunic - J.Crew Big Apple Tunic
Shoes - Manolo Blahnik BBs in Blue Suede
Necklace - J.Crew Monotone Beaded Necklace (Orange?) -- can be found in other colors here
Bag - J.Crew Edie purse in Flame
I've been contemplating the dress for awhile now, ever since it first appeared on the sale rack (I'm a sale shopper, what can I say)
But at first cut price of $99 (original about $150, I think), I couldn't pull the trigger, so I decided to wait. Recently, JCrew had 30% off sale at their stores, so I flew over at lunchtime to check it out. And there it was, marked down 50% from original price, with additional 30% off. It's still not a super-deal, but sizes were running out fast. I'm wearing a 00, because they were out of my regular size 0.
It does wrinkle easy though. But it's very pretty.
I can see it dressed up with Loubs and a clutch for a summer wedding, or with T-straps, a strawhat and a boat tote for casual running around in the summer.

And of course, when my kid saw me take the shoes out of the box, she
scrambled out of bed and asked "Can I try them on for a little while,
momma?"
