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!
