Weekend Recap (and OOTD with the Victoria Tissue Cami)

I know that I'm a little bit late in posting my weekend recap but am I the only one who's running late this week? I'm still trying to make up for the hour that was stolen from us this past Sunday (where idi that hour go?) I never like day savings time at the beginning: it feels weird to have dinner when there is still light outside, after all those months (but are they really many?) of darkness.

Anyway, there weren't joking when they said that it would rain all the weekend. Saturday morning we had a birthday party of one of my daughter's girlfriends, so out in the rain we went. It wasn't that bad yet and my husband was pushing the stroller while I was holding the umbrella (two things that I can't do at the same time while I'm alone and that make any rainy school day a nightmare). I wore the pink striped bateau tee to cheer me up and also because pink is a good color to wear at a kid's party (I didn't take pics because the outfit was exactly the same that you have seen in another post).
In the afternoon I went for a quick tour in the neighborhood (I had some errands to do, including a Jcrew return, that could have really waited a week) and that's when things got really bad weather-wise because the wind was just too strong to keep an umbrella open (and boy, it was raining). At same point I saw a lady who was almost BLOWN away with her umbrella, Mary-Poppins style, while she was crossing 3d Avenue). Anyway I made it home, even if the outfit below got its share of rain, especially the Minnie pants:





I was proud of the black henley cashmere and Victoria tissue cami pairing until I realized that this is exctly how the the henley is styled on the website. Oh well, I can live with that. I had been eyeing the cashmere henley forever, waiting for it to drop below my self-imposed threshold of $100 for a cashmere sweater. With the 30% off promo the price was even lower ($83 something), so I grabbed two (I was very grabby last week).
The Victoria cami is in a (I think) store-only heather grey (very sheer). I bought three colors of the cami when it went on sale and I finally decided to keep only this one to wear under cardigans. I realized that I don't like it worn alone, it has a weird semi-halter style that makes my shoulders look very wide. BTW, in case you have the Scalloped zipper cardigan you might need this cami. It was the only thing that I could possibly think of to wear with this (otherwise beautiful) cardigan, besides a plain tank or tee:


I ended up returning the cardigan (I had paid FP) which is now back-ordered until July! I regret it a little bit but if I came across it on sale, I will buy it for sure (it was so "me").

That's it for now. I will be back soon with a post n some of the new Jcrew jackets and the long over-due post on the Tory Burch shoes!
