Welcome my Proenza Schouler tweed colorblock shorts to the blog!!! If you saw my monthly wardrobe update you will have heard this story already, but for those that haven't: I posted these shorts on the blog back in June 2011 as one of my favorite looks from the 2012 Resort show! A couple of weekends ago I went to Roundabout's end of season sale with Lydia and on a second look through the store I spotted these shorts peeking out and recognized them immediately.

I didn't think they were going to fit but tried them on and they fit like a glove! At "only" $57 I had to take them home. That may seem like a lot for shorts, BUT they are tweed, trimmed in leather and made in the USA. Plus, they retailed for $1600, insanity!

Another outfit from Rhode Island. I wore this for a quick trip to get ice cream after dinner one evening. It's not a trip to the beach without a big cup of soft serve with rainbow sprinkles, right?!

These shorts are one of my new favorite buys! I got them for a steal ($11) in April at the Banana Republic outlet and once it got warm enough to wear them I wore them twice in a 3 day span! I had been wanting this color and style of short of a while but could never find the "perfect" pair. I think these are it! They'll definitely come in handy for my (eventual) safari trip! That's a long way off though.

Another slightly weird outfit for this week's throwback, but one that I still like. I guess the only really out of place piece is the shoes, but what's life without some weird print mixing?  I can't believe this outfit is from 4 years ago. My how time flies!!

The Original:

Sometimes I take my outfit pictures with wet hair. That was the case for these outfit pictures. But what can you do? I don't like to blow dry it so if I take my shower in the morning it is wet most of the day (which is why I usually shower at night.)  I wore this to hang out at my grandma's for the afternoon, it was quite a hot day, Summer definitely doesn't want to leave us, that probably doesn't bode well for Winter. But I don't want to think about that yet.

I have returned! And am returning with an outfit that is anything but boring. When my brother saw me in this outfit he said it looked like I was wearing a lampshade...whatever, I think the skirt is fun! Although it's odd shape does make it a challenge to style. This time I decided to wear it with a loose fitting tank and super tall heels. I think it off-sets the skirt nicely.

I hope all my American readers had a great Independence Day! I spent mine with my family having a barbeque and eating too much food. Summer calls for simple outfits. This was a cooler day so I was able to wear jeans and my sweater without being too hot or cold.  So far this Summer hasn't been very hot, but I'm probably jinxing it.  I wouldn't mind it staying in the 80s the next few months, but I know we'll get up to the high 90s eventually and I will die.

You know those pieces that you buy and want to wear all the time? This sweater is one of them! It's so comfortable, since it's cashmere, and it's nice and thin so I can even wear it on warmer days. And isn't the back perfect?! If I get too hot in it I can just undo a few of the bottom buttons to get a nice breeze. I've worn it with jeans at least 4 times since buying the sweater last month. Not at all ashamed. But for this particular outing I decided to dress it up. My mom didn't like the combo because she thinks the stripes are too casual and the lace is too dressy. Oh well, kids will be kids, right?

P.S. How is it already JUNE?!

A super simple outfit for a day of exploring Athens. This sweater, which was made by my (late) Grandmother for my mom remains one of my favorite Summer pieces. It's so comfortable and, despite being a sweater, keeps me cool. It's slightly cropped fit is a perfect match for my high waisted jeans!

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year (along with the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas,) so it should come as no surprise to you that one of my favorite traditions is going to the pumpkin patch! My family has been going to the same one since I was a youngin', Jones Family Farms (it is also where we get our Christmas Tree every year.) This year I just went with my sister and her boyfriend, but there's plenty of time to go again, so maybe the whole family will go one weekend.

It was super chilly and windy when we went, but was still a lot of fun! We went early in the morning to avoid the crowds but by the time we left the place was PACKED. It is insanity! I went a little light this year and just bought 2 small gourds and a bundle of Indian corn, only $6 for all of it. I'm sharing my outfit today and will share some general snaps tomorrow!
