I picked up this tank top on a quick trip into Roundabout a couple weekends ago. I ran in to consign some pieces and took a quick look around and walked out with this for under $10! (and a pair of Cole Haan leopard print pumps...oops!) As you all know I'm not usually a fan of white pants, but this top was just begging to be worn with white. I also really love how deep the opening is in the back, lets me show off those sexy shoulder blades, haha!

Now that all my trips are over it's back to Throwback Outfit Thursdays! Sometimes basic outfits are all you need. This skirt is always fun since I can play with the length a bit because of the design. I usually opt for it to be a bit shorter but I can also make it closer to my knees. And my mouse flats, Jacques and Gus, are always crowd pleasers.

On a rather rainy day on our trip we decided to take a little field trip to Newport so I took the afternoon off work to join in on the fun. Luckily for most of our time in Newport the rain stayed away but we did have a 20 minute span of rain where we ducked into a store. I ended up buying a really fun opal (and I THINK sapphire) owl ring at the Armory Antique Marketplace. Opal is my birthstone and owls are one of my favorite animals so I couldn't resist him!

My mom and I also matched on this day. She wore the zebra print pants I bought her for Mother's Day since she wanted a pair like my Sea New York silk pants.

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?!

Last week I was on a family vacation in Rhode Island. Sadly I didn't get to enjoy much beach time since I was working all week, but I went for a few hours over the course of a few mornings and got to spend a lot of time with my extended family. This is what I wore the Saturday we arrived. We like to start our vacation off by visiting Galilee and watching the boats drive by.

Yes, the Lanvin sandals again! I told you I was wearing them a lot! On this day I wore them to see how well they would do while walking. My mom and I went out shopping with my Grandma and walked about a mile according to my phone. Good news: my feet felt as good as if I'd been wearing flats! Next time I'll try two miles...maybe next time I'm in New York City!
UPDATE: I wrote this post right after I wore the outfit, but since wearing it I HAVE worn these to New York City. I wore them on a SUPER hot day and my feet did mostly okay. I just walked a little too fast so I irritated my pinky toes. Next time I'll need to slow down to a normal pace instead of my "New York Walk." (Or just put band-aid's on my toes so they don't rub)

This was worn on a SUPER hot day a few weeks ago. I spent a few hours cooling down in the pool but when I had to get dressed I kept it simple with my super cute Splendid dress and Lanvin sandals which I wore 3 times in 4 days when I first got them (and the 4th day I didn't get dressed.) Both the pieces in this look were bought during Net-a-Porter's End of Season sale, just one year apart.

You haven't seen much of this romper on the blog this year after it appearing a LOT last Summer, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been worn. It's still what I turn to on those days where I don't want to think about what I'm wearing.
These sandals, on the other hand, aren't getting as much love as they should. These are actually the first pair of Ancient Greek Sandals I bought. This was back when they only had a few colors so I went with the tan, also why I don't wear them as much - they get super dirty! I now have SIX pairs from the brand. I still have to get a pair fixed, I'm so lazy!

And here's my last Aruba post! The rest of our trip was spent at the beach and eating some delicious food. My favorite spots we ate were Taste of Belgium for breakfast, Smokey Joe's (pulled chicken sandwich!!) and Moomba Beach's buffet breakfast. We also had some delicious Mexican food at the Iguana Cantina. We didn't stray too far away from our hotel so I didn't get to try a few of the places I had looked up beforehand. But we decided we would rather walk to get food than take cabs and save some cash!
Another fun activity we did was the Jolly Pirates Snorkel cruise! We boarded the pirate ship at 8:30 in the morning to head off to three snorkel locations. The first was in deeper water to see the Antilla WWII shipwreck, the water was super choppy here so I didn't stay out long. Next up was Boca Catalina where we were a little closer to shore. We ended at Malmok where we got to dive off the plank and use a fun Ropeswing. We ended the day with a delicious BBQ lunch and headed back to shore!
