I bought a bunch of new things this month, mostly basics. Last October one of my favorite pairs of Ancient Greek Sandals finally called it quits and a strap broke while I was at Disneyland. They were very well worn in the 10 years I owned them and walked hundreds of miles around Greece, Italy, Florida and more Summer holidays. I finally replaced them with a new black pair after putting it off for months. I almost bought the same exact pair - the Alethea (without the perforations) but because of tariff fears and the price I decided to go the eBay route instead. I was choosing between a few pairs and ended up with a new in box pair of Chania sandals for a great price. Because they were so (relative to retail) cheap I allowed myself a little extra treat and bought a second pair of Ancient Greek Sandals on Poshmark for only $15! They are technically a size too large, but who cares at that price!

I also made an Old Navy order after my mom showed me some pieces she got recently. One was very similar to a sweater vest my Grandma knit that I wear a LOT over the Summer - it just doesn't have buttons. I got it in Gingerspice/rust (same as my Mom) and thought about the Sea Salt color too but it was a bit too white for me. I also ordered the Blue Multi version for Mom because she wanted another color, ha ha! I almost didn't buy anything because of the price but then it went a little more on sale so I decided to go for it.
