The Aberra Tee from Tory Burch has been on my wishlist since it came out. It was never in my local store so I wasn’t able to try it on. I decided to wait to see if my size made it to sale and luckily enough it did. With beautiful warm sunny days and busy weekends it feels good to bring in Spring without sweaters and coats.

The Boy’s Varsity Soccer Team is rolling through playoffs so I’m off to another game tonight! Hopefully this one is a straight up win. The last two games have both gone to 2 overtimes and Penalty Kicks! Nail-biters for sure.

I had some HOA duties last week, including meeting with our Collections Attorney. I wanted to look presentable but not overly dressed up so I wore jeans and a silk blouse. The office is casual so it was a good fit for the time I was there.

Green is my favorite color. It’s a color that always makes me smile when I see it. Kelly Green is my favorite shade but I’ll take any Green I can get. So, when I saw this Tory Burch Lidia Polo in Leaf Green I knew it had to be added to my closet.

  
I had on my Jello Mold Bracelet before I had to take it off. It was interfering with my typing for work, but here’s the Insta.

Ladies, you know when you find that one item, be it a dress, skirt, hat, shoes, something, and know in an instant, without trying it on, that you love it. Then comes the dreadful part where you have to try it on, praying and hoping it fits, looks good on you, or flatters you because you really love said item.

This happened to me a Nordstrom last week. I was “making a return” of some slips that did not work out and took a glance at the Kate and Tory items. I saw the Talia Poplin Shirtdress and knew in that instant that I loved it. Then I saw the sleeves and they looked a little tight. But I grabbed a size 8 and, optimistically, went off to the fitting room.

  
I’m Cinderella and this dress is my glass slipper. The Talia Shirtdress was a perfect fit. Especially in the shoulders and arms. I can move and breath and am comfortable in it. 
I originally pinned this dress from the Tory Burch Fashion Week images so it has been in my head for a little while.
The back is just as pretty and detailed as the front. 

The colors and details of this dress are beautiful. They blend so well together. It’s cotton with a little spandex and lined in Cotton, which is so perfect for Summer.

This little detail is at the bottom of the dress. This image is true to the colors on the dress. I love how vibrant they are.

I didn’t buy this immediately but left it on hold to think about it. I wanted to see if something else caught my eye but the dress and I were meant to be as I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

And a shout-out to Wendy because as soon as I saw this dress it reminded me of her backyard and garden (scroll down). Wendy, has Tory been to your house? Maybe she saw your post and was inspired!

I cannot wait to wear Wendy’s Garden Dress! I have it on in the first pic with the Martina Metallic Wedges but will probably wear them in the Summer with the Lillian Mirror Metallic Low Wedge Sandal. I also have these little pretties coming to me. Look for a Shoes-day post next week on them.

Have a Great Day!

You saw that last week I reviewed the Silk Crepe Maxidress in both Brilliant Blueberry and Black. I did purchase both of them as I loved the feel of them on, they looked good as a single dress or layered and they were on promo with another % off. I wore both this week, layered. They are touted as Beach Cover-ups which I will use them for this Summer but I also found some great slips that work well for both.

I Monday I wore the Maxidress in Brilliant Blueberry with my old GAP Denim jacket (JC, GAP, ON, Levi’s)    and the J Crew Tybee Metallic Sandals. The Grotto Pendant Necklace would look great with this dress. I felt comfortable and super chic all day.

On Thursday I decided to wear the Black Maxidress. This time I wore the Metallic V-Neck Sweater over the dress. I folded it under a few times and tied a knot in the back and had myself a cropped sweater with very little effort and no exposed skin! I added my lovely Dorado Necklace and the Canvas Espadrilles in Dark Ebony for a cool, casual vibe. I am a consistent size 7/37 but took a 38 in these. I find that flat espadrilles like these I have to size up one Euro size to accommodate the width of my foot. It’s a little tight in the 37.

To make sure I wasn’t exposed as these dresses can be sheer in specific lighting I found some Calvin Klein slips at Nordstrom. I bought both the Bare/Nude and the Black in Medium. The fit was great and the short length was perfect to prevent the dress from being see-through. 
Have a Great Weekend!
