Sum-sum-summertime!

Today was glorious, weather-wise.  I only wish I would have gotten out of the house earlier to enjoy it, but I’ve had too many early mornings lately.  Me & 5:30am?  We are not friends.  But Crew Scheduling would sure like us to be.  So today, since it was my day off, I stayed in bed until 11:30, just being lazy and snuggling with the baby cat.  She needs to be snuggled sometimes.  Then I made myself some coffee & brunch and finally decided to get dressed and go for a stroll.

I did a spot of shopping, but didn’t find anything I couldn’t live without.  Not gonna lie, I may or may not have stopped into Marshall’s just to use the full-length mirror in the dressing room.  I really need to figure out a better picture-taking scenario.

This blouse is an oldie-but-a-goodie.  I actually grabbed it out of the donation bags at the very last minute and decided to keep it.  My mom & I found it on MAJOR sale at Anthropologie years and years and years ago.  I think I wore it maybe twice?  It’s a size 12, which is too big, but I like the blousey effect.  I’m super glad I saved it.  It’s 100% silk and just feels like the epitome of summer.  I think it will finally get some use this year.

One of the things I WAS looking for at Marshall’s was a new summer-time purse.  I love my black purse, but it tends to feel too heavy for outfits like today’s.  I opted for this cute little vintage clutch I bought on Etsy, but I’d love to find a purse with straps for everyday use.  So my search continues.  I was also hoping to find a pair of cute flat gladiator sandals in a neutral color, but came up unsuccessful on that one too.  Good thing my wedges are so comfortable!
