Featuring Jcrew giraffe-print shorts, Zara shirt from many years ago, Kate Spade "fish" slides fom last summer, Jcrew Thompson tote (I really need to get started with Polyvore). Actually I think this looks even nicer in real life. I had initially put on a Gap navy ribbed tank as a top but the shorts are very short and I felt a little bit naked (especially for the subway), so I changed for the Zara shirt and felt much better.
The day after we went to one of our favorite restaurants for lunch (it's greek but quite upscale and it has a nice terrace with teck furniture). I decided to wear my Monterey skirt for the first time, with a Gap tee for a total "khaki" look:
I think that this outfit came off quite nicely, thanks to the touch of color of the necklace:
This is a necklace that I bought some time ago at Laila Rowe, along with the double-strand turquoise bracelet that I wore with the Havona in the Bermuda pics. The prices are already very good (from $15 to $28) but they were (and I think they are still) having a "buy one, get another one at half price" promotion, which makes these a real steal as they are made in real stones (like the Jcrew ones) and not plastic. I you have a store near you, I highly reccomend having a look. The colors are beautiful and it's difficult to just pick two (or four) items. They also make a nice girlfriend present.
Not that anyone noticed, but my self-made pedi with Nars polish in Orgasm complemented the look and I want to show it here (it also gives me the opportunity to make a close-up on the KS slides that I bought on super-sale last year and wear all the time):
The rest of the weekend was disrupted by the fact that my daughter developped a vaccine-induced fever (I'm normally pro-vaccines but I regretted giving her the shot just before the weekend, even if this is the first time that she has a reaction whatsoever), so we had to cancel our dinner plans for Sunday and we spent almost the rest of the weekend at home. Sometimes it's good to have an excuse to just do nothing, especially for my husband who works a lot and is hyper-active during the weekend (he can't stay half an hour without doing something). So my yesterday outfit was pijamas and an old tee shirt, nothing that I want to share lol.
I hope that you had a great Memorial Day weekend. Isn't it great that summer is finally here?
Coming up: a new obsession (non-Jcrew)
i like your outfits, espescially the giraffe print shorts.
ReplyDeletemy daugher is one and she just had a reaction to the vaccines too. that was the first time and she had a high fever and was cranky all day.it was over the next day.

ina
As a mom, i know all about the interruption of plans, due to baby sickness:( it seems like this past year, my son has been SO sick with colds, coughs, etc.
ReplyDeleteI love outfit #2----super cute skirt and love the khaki color combo. Toes look pretty, and love those sandals!
Really cute outfits, especially the giraffe print shorts. I've been wanting those for a long time ...
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and I hope your daughter is feeling better!
I hope the little one is feeling much better. The shorts look cute. Is that a grey top?
ReplyDeleteHi Ina, Mrs Anketell and Stylestance, thank you. It's the first time that my daughter is sick from vaccines, the fever lasted more than 2 days, but she's better now (but unfortunately the weekend is over).
ReplyDeleteGigi, yes, the top is grey. It goes nicely with the shorts because it has a little "safari" look to it.
If anyone is interested in the shorts, someone is selling a size 2 (what I'm wearing) on the great weekly exchange (for $50)...
I hope your daughter is feeling better. You never know how they will react!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfits! I really do want to get that skirt soon. I just love it. You styled it so nicely. Those fish shoes are too cute!
I love these outfits! The sandals are so cute and look great with your pedi!
