Happy Friday!! Don't you just love short weeks? They make me so happy. This week was very odd weather-wise. Monday was gorgeous, then Tuesday and Wednesday were rainy and muggy. Then today it was 90 degrees... HOT HOT HOT. As you can see my clothing reflects that, slowly I wore less and less until I was as skimpy as I could go for work.
This weekend I have absolutely no plans, except I'm going to see Star Trek Into Darkness again, this time with my sister and her boyfriend. I rarely go to the movies, so you know I love something when I see it twice. Although, the past few movies I saw in theatres I saw twice (Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit,) I guess that means I'm a good judge.

This past Monday (Memorial Day for those of you with short memories, or non-US citizens) rather than attending a picnic or party I spent the afternoon with Lydia and Christine. We headed to one of our favorite places, The Chowder Pot for lunch, then took our obligatory outfit photos and finished the day with Frozen Yogurt (after which we decided we should have gotten Rita's Italian Ice or ice cream.)
The girls are always saying I need to wear these purple pants more, so I did it especially for them! The pants also went perfectly with my new Zara top! I'm not usually one to wear white but the print was so cute, look at the birdies! Aaaand I'm wearing my newest purchase, which I alluded to with this Instagram photo on Saturday.

As I posted quickly yesterday, the Net-a-Porter End of Season sale started! So begins one of my favorite times of the year. I love getting deals on designer pieces, but the trick is to wait until the final reductions, which takes a few weeks. But if you do that, you run the risk of losing out on items you want, so if you REALLY want something - jump on it! It's a bit like playing chicken, see how long you can hold out before pulling the trigger. Make sure you keep checking back because they are always adding new items!
On the first day of the sale I go through every item and add anything I like to my cart, not matter what the price. Yes, I am insane. But I have a system... After everything I like is in my cart I let it sit there, slowly items sell out and I go through and get rid of things I definitely won't wear. I also wait until the final reductions, which come in a few weeks. This is risky, but also good for my wallet. If an item I have been lusting over for a long time shows up in the sale I may purchase it in the first round, but that is rare. If I do that, I don't wear the item until the sale is over. Why do you ask? Because it could go more on sale and I can buy it again and return one (they don't do price adjustments during the sale) or I may find something better when final reductions start and I can return the more expensive piece in favor of something that is kinder to my wallet.
If you got through that whole rambling paragraph, congratulations! Here are a bunch of the items currently awaiting their fate in my cart. Scroll through the slideshows below to see the designers, prices and purchase (if you so desire.) The prices aren't updating in the slideshows so those are the normal prices, click through to see reduced pricing.

On Sunday I traveled the long mile and a half to my parents house for our Memorial Day barbeque. It was FREEZING (not really, but cold for this time of year) so I went in jeans and a sweater. I ended up having to borrow one of my Mom's big sweaters because it was really windy and we were sitting outside.
