Have you blown your budget yet at the Nordstrom sale? I'm still looking and debating about whether or not to sign up for the debit card to go ahead and shop. I've got my eye on some bracelets. Last year I bought a couple of these tops. They easily switch from business to casual wear.

 

Speaking of bracelets, I made these on a whim one Friday night and I really didn't think I'd wear them much, but I've worn them several times now. Turns out these earthy tones coordinate with more in my wardrobe than I thought they would. While I had my beads and supplies out, I made this charm wrap bracelet.

 

 I bought this tee in two colors. (Psst... it's still on sale.)  You have already seen the green and blue one. Grey is a favorite and I love grey with red, I love stripes, so what's not to love about grey stripes with red?

 

I hope you have a spectacular weekend! One more week and it will by my birthday weekend.

 

Currently I'm drinking... water, coffee, unsweet tea. Yes, I'm from the south and grew up on sweet tea, but I cut out all sweetened drinks about three years ago. I drink my coffee black, no sugar. How do you like your coffee and tea?

I'm in love with this faux knot tee. I love this color combination and this tee is super soft and comfy.  It's still on sale and there are several colors. I also love how comfortable these wedges are. I think this is the third time you've seen them now- #sorrynotsorry. These wedges may become my new go to or at least a close second to my beige wedges.

I am the worst blog post title writer ever. I rarely come up with a catchy title, so you usually get "summer brights" or "shorts' or something that is less than creative. I was looking at this outfit trying to come up with something and asked myself what this made me think of. I took a look at my necklace and thought, fruity pebbles. So there you go. No, my necklace is not edible, it just adds a fun punch of color to a summer outfit. I've even worn it with my business attire before.

 

I recently purchased these shorts. I had an orange pair a couple of years ago but they got stained and I really missed them last year. I wasn't able to replace them last year but was more than excited when I saw these this year. And while a plain white tee always works with bright shorts, I couldn't resist adding another color.

 

I also recently purchased this saddlebag crossbody purse. I usually pair down from my daily tote to a smaller bag like this for vacations, shopping and travel.

 

Hope you are having a good week.

Brights with camo

worn July 22, 2015

I'll have to admit that a camo skirt left me a little stumped on how to style it beyond black and chambray. But with a little pinterest inspiration, I've come up with a few more ways. One is to pair it with a bright colored top. I've been a little stuck on blue this summer, so I went with the cobalt knot tee. I've been so drawn to blue, I've even been wearing blue polish on my toes for a couple of weeks. You'd be surprised how well it goes with summer colors.

I have seen these knot tees on a couple of other bloggers, so I caved and ordered a couple. This tee, along with this maxi skirt, is a close to wearing pajamas as you can get while still looking pulled together. I wore this to church a couple of weeks ago and wore it all day long. So comfortable. I had gotten away from maxis dresses and skirts, but have renewed an interest in this this summer.
