When I went back to try on the Pixie Pants in Leather Tuxedo Stripe I also re-tried on the Andie Chino’s. I asked for a size 8 & 10. I originally tried on the 8 but thought they were too tight. The 10s were way too big so I asked for more opinions from my VPS and favorite SA and settled on the size 8. It was the right choice as they do stretch some throughout the day.

The temps dropped to the high 80s Monday and I’ve been patiently waiting to wear Fall-ish clothes. So, I rolled my Andie’s, added a tee from Zara and my Cons and pretended it was kind of Fall.

I loved the feel of the Andie’s so much I wore them again this week, this time with the Silk and Sequin Scoopneck Tee and Cece’s.


Here’s Gus again…sniffing these pants to see why I like them so much that I wore them twice in one week. 

And…Bella’s jealous ’cause that’s how she is. Spoiled girl.

Yep, this is as Fall as I am going to get right now.

Here are some recent OOTDs.

Loving the Perfect Linen shirts from J Crew. I am taking a 6 in all of them even though my normal size in the perfect shirts is an 8. The Summerweight Bermuda Shorts are my all-time favorite shorts. With the newer styles I take a size 8. The Look Through Wedges had an accident the day I wore these. A piece of wood chipped off! From the front! I think if I dirty that spot up a little it will blend in with the rest of the shoe. This was only the second time to wear them so I am quite disappointed.

Shirt: J Crew Perfect Linen Shirt in Navy, 6
Shorts: J Crew Summerweight Bermuda Shorts (’08) (similar), 6
Shoes: Anthropologie Look Through Wedges, 7

Looking at this picture I think the tee might be the crewneck not v-neck. Either way it is the Vintage Cotton Tee which are another yearly staple for me. The Apothecary skirt has been one of my favorites and I love all the colors through-out it. The shoes were just a bad purchase. They fit weird and the back strap falls down a lot, even though it’s buckled on the last hole. There are just some shoes not meant for “Shoes-day”.

Tee: J Crew Vintage Cotton V-Neck, OPA Orange ?, M
Skirt: Anthropologie Apothecary Skirt, 6
Shoes: Zara Three-Tone Flat Sandal, Sand,37

Another new staple in my summer wardrobe has been linen tees. I have a few from J Crew, which are quite see through. I recommend a tank top underneath. The ones from Zara are thin as well but can be worn without a tank underneath. I love this purple and it goes well with the purple in the Waterlily Floral Soiree Skirt. This skirt, in both colors, has been another happy purchase. Like the Apothecary skirt, there are so many colors in both skirts that sometimes it is hard to pick a top to wear with it. I think I will have brought the CPW of these Tory Burch flip-flops down to mere pennies by the end of the summer.

Tee: Zara Linen T-Shirt, Dark Magenta, S
Skirt: J Crew Soiree Skirt inWaterlily Floral, 6 (in-store sale $59.99)
Shoes: Tory Burch Tortoise Flip-Flops, 7

I have been trying to wear skirts and dresses this summer. They are just so quick and easy to wear and if you find some like the ones above, with many colors in them, you’ll have endless options to pair with them.

Have a great day!

I had a little time this week to stop in to Zara, a new store at my mall. I’ve seen several bloggers with cute clothing from there and checked it out online. I didn’t want to order anything online without figuring out what my size was and they have such cute stuff I had to go in and see for myself.

Great little skirt but need to make sure I have tops to go with it.

Two-Tone Skirt – L, Linen/Rayon, $39.90

Loving this super casual linen tee.

Flower T-Shirt – M, Linen, $29.90

I have been looking for a yellow top to go with this skirt. It’s so soft and comfy and comes in blue too!

Fine Stripe T-Shirt – M, Rayon, Yellow, $25.90
Worn with J Crew Lunette Mini in Navy, 8
Corso Como Espadrilles

I grabbed this dress before I checked out so I didn’t try it on. I’m not such a fan of it now. I think I need the Large so that I can belt it without it being obscene. Also, it’s a little see through since the black is not as dark as the online picture.

Oriental Flower Dress – M, Lyocell/Rayon
J Crew Arène Platform Sandals
I hope to go back this weekend to scope out the rest of the store.
Have a nice evening.
