I have nothing exciting to say today. I was going to leave this outfit without a description, but that felt weird. Although this is weirder. Moving on: I wore this for my Dad's birthday lunch by the water a couple weekends ago. Easy, breezy and fun!

After yesterday's "crazy" outfit, it's back to basics for today with a tank top and jeans. What can I say, old habits die hard? This top is so flattering, I always feel great when I wear it. A great Lord & Taylor clearance find from a few years ago, Michael Kors for under $20, yes please!

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 made my bi-yearly Net-a-Porter Sale purchase this month and was pretty well behaved. I bought a dress and a bathing suit and paid only $16 after advertising money. I always try to wait until the end of the sale to buy my items hoping they'll be further reduced. When I do this I risk the item selling out before I can get it, but I don't really NEED anything new, so it's a good way to discipline myself. In the past I have bought pieces right away if I felt like it was something that I couldn't live without. I also ordered a fun tee during French Connection's Extra 70% off sale items promotion.

I've been growing bored with my clothing choices these days. To remedy that I decided to experiment with wearing a blazer and shorts together. Not sure if it totally works, but I liked the change. I also realized, while my dad was taking these photos, that if I took off my blazer and swapped my sandals for white Keds I would look like Baby in Dirty Dancing! Ha ha.
Tomorrow morning I'm headed to Florida for a week of frolicking with friends. Normally when I'm on vacation I like to schedule posts in advance, but since I've been so unhappy with my clothing choices lately I decided to just take a break for the week. I shall return next Tuesday!
