I saw this pretty, tissue soft, long-sleeved shirt in a Free People store recently. I went back to it twice, but decided it was a bit pricey for me. I wanted it as a beach cover-up. Thought it would be just the right amount of cover, while still being light and beachy. However, at almost 60 bucks and being such thin material, I chose to hold off. The Free People fairies must have been smiling down on me:). Cause guess what went on sale a couple weeks ago?? EEP!! My beach cover-up! I bought it in white. Loved it so much, I went back and bought it in a soft minty color. Two shirts for the price of one with the sale! I'll take that.
The best part, I can wear it in more ways than just on the beach. It's so light and airy, it is perfect for those summer days when I'm in and out of air conditioning (I'm not a fan of air conditioning. It makes me cold). It's lovely. And the kids give me extra hugs. Cause I'm 'soft.' Niamh wanted ot sleep with it tonight (they have this funny thing where they sleep with my sweaters. I indulge them because I know these days won't last forever:)...Anyways, it's a hit.
Go check them out here!
Oh-- and check out my favorite earrings store!! I couldn't get myself to commit to the gauged ear lobe thing, but this is a nice compromise. Earrings that give you the look without the commitment. Loving these. They are a little dangerous...but pretty awesome all the same:).
Hope your Tuesday was lovely. Mine was great. Gonna go watch BSG with Phil-- yeah, it's pretty much what we do every night at this time:). I feel like my levels of nerdiness spiked when I learned what the word 'Cylon' meant. Feel like I may never return to my less nerd-like state. Oh well! Night:).

ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! But just reading "Long sleeve" and "summer" made me start sweatin'! :)
ReplyDeleteI so could not get away with that where I'm at...I think out high was 109 today! You look great though!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I read your fashion posts I wonder what happened to me?? I use to dress cute, and look cute and man I feel like mommydom has just taken it all and I can't find my way back. I've been trying, lol I've started wearing earrings again and got and actual hair cut...haven't had one of those in like 7 years, but I just wanna say, you're inspiring me! I'm not gonna look like u, it just isn't gonna happen, but hopefully, I can get back that desire to be the best ME I can be.
Thanks for all your wonderful posts and for your beautiful inspiration!!

Daaang those earrings! Very very nice. :) And I love that shirt! Sea Marie
ReplyDeleteThose earrings are so gorgeous! I LOVE everything in that shop. Too bad I found out about it after I made a commitment not to buy anything for myself for the rest of the year! :( Oh well. Perhaps I'll have to hint at those for a birthday or Christmas present!
ReplyDeleteI just love the way the colour of the trim on your shoes is picked by the top & that top is really YOU. I have fallen for those shoes though - they remind me of a some wedges I had when I was 17 - I lived in those.
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest of the week & I love your attitude to the children - they're still children & allowed to be.

I SO love your sense of style. So effortless!
ReplyDeleteAlso OMG thanks so much for sharing the link to the Etsy for earrings! I'm at a 2g right now and have been looking for something fun and different. And I love handmade..
... Oh shoot, I just looked and realized the whole shop is "fake gauges" ha ha! Well obviously I was totally fooled by the picture, so they work! :)
ReplyDeleteThat shirt does look comfy. I love those shoes too.
