I wore this on a perfect end of August day spent with Lydia and Christine. We went to our favorite restaurant, The Chowder Pot, followed by some shopping. I behaved and bought nothing! (Well, technically I bought this Jason Wu for Target dress for my cousin for $5, but that doesn't count.) The weather was so perfect, not too hot, not chilly. Just perfection.

Everything in this outfit, apart from the sunglasses, is at least 2 years old. Gotta love pieces that stick around! This dress will definitely be in my closet until it withers away to nothing (or I grow out of it...)

Dress: Jones New York (Lord & Taylor), Sandals: Seychelles (DSW), Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Net-a-Porter), Sunglasses: Chanel (bought in Europe), Necklace: gifted

Everyone ready for the long weekend? This is what I wore last weekend to do some shopping and have lunch with Lydia and Christine! We headed to New Haven and visited Vintanthromodern where I picked up a suede jacket I first tried on 14 weeks ago (according to Instagram) And yes, I cheated and didn't put this in my wardrobe update post because this is such a random purchase not related to the season at all. After we shopped we had lunch at a Thai restaurant. It was my first time having it so I was a little nervous, I'm a VERY picky eater. But it was pretty good!

And yes, the post title is a reference to Bob Seger's Mainstreet (love this song!)

This past Saturday I headed to the RewardStyle NYFW party with Lydia! Since everyone would be dressed to the nines, I thought it was a great opportunity to wear my new $136 Jason Wu dress (get the story on how I got it "cheap" here)! The day was SUPER hot so we were pretty much melting, but the party was a lot of fun! I got to see a bunch of my blogger friends (and even made some new ones - hey Lizzy!)  We also got to visit with a ton of great brands like Piperlime, BlueFly, Kendra Scott, Topshop, Zinke, Ann Taylor and Lou & Grey.

I wore this on Sunday to meet up with Lydia and Annie for brunch, we were supposed to have a larger group but sadly a bunch of the girls had to cancel.  We didn't get a group picture of the three of us since Annie had to leave a bit early and we ran out of time. We had delicious food and then went shopping at Village Vogue Boutique. I was hoping I wouldn't find anything but I ended up trying on a Burberry jacket (too big), Emanuel Ungaro jacket (liked, but was expensive) and a batik clothing set that I bought to wear as pajamas.

But just as I thought I was home free and wasn't going to use one of my five items in the French Wardrobe Challenge I saw a snake print skirt with a matching vest.  It was 60% (bringing the 2 pieces down to $23) off so I bought it and haven't decided if I'm keeping it and using it as one of my pieces, or if I'll resell it.  It may be too weird to wear both pieces together so I'll most likely just wear the skirt.

I wore my Carven Paris Map Print dress again, definitely glad I bought it as one of my five items! This is the third time I wore it, I styled it for a wedding shower and Easter already.

This Saturday I had a last minute meetup with Lydia and Christine, which is always fun! Sadly it was a rainy day so I wasn't really in the mood to dress cute (Lydia was, she braved a skirt.) So here we have my rainy day outfit, which is basically my every day outfit, jeans + tee + sweater!
