Sandal Weather, and Some Eggs

I was so pleased to pull out linen and cotton for the first time this year. I even polished my toes and put on sandals!

I have done a lot of clothes shopping so far in 2013. My little spreadsheet shows an average of $307.40 spent each month through May. This is the sum total for 36 new items, plus a packet of tights, socks and underwear. That works out to about $37 per item (not counting the lingerie), but the $300 purse really skewed that average, hee hee.  The purchases have also been fairly distributed across clothing categories, a few dresses, a handful of skirts, four pairs of shoes, etc. 

I have been highlighting those new things I have not worn on the chart, as a reminder not to let them languish in my closet. 

Having relocated almost everything across closets, I see that my summer wardrobe is much smaller than my Fall/Winter collection. I have fewer multiples - only one brown jacket instead of four, one pair of summer shoes in each color, instead of three heights of boots in six different colors. The closet is much less crowded. Well, winter clothes are heavier weight, too.

Green linen Jones New York jacket, White House Black Market skirt, Arturo Chiang sandals. I'm very fond of these sandals, but they are getting scruffy. Sandals just aren't long term property the way boots are.

Boden gauze top, Ralph Lauren red jeans, red Born flats. This was peppy but simple.

This is breakfast for dinner! From the bottom up; waffle fries, refried beans, sauteed spinach, poached eggs, a sprinkle of cojack cheese, and homemade salsa. Yummy, easy, pretty.

Purple and Red

The day after the board meeting is an opportunity to wear vibrant colors, tight pants, to fly a tiny little freak flag!

Beatle Boots!


Wow, that's just CRAZY!

Shipshape and Seaworthy

I don't think this outfit is TOO heavyhanded a sailor theme. Red Talbot's ankle jeans, J. Jill Striped tank, Talbot's indigo pique jacket, and my super fun Spring Step sandal/boots. This was that rare case where the jacket didn't look better buttoned; you need to see the stripes!



I paid full screaming retail for these pants, and I am so glad! I might need them in bright blue or Windsor green too. They're just long enough to wear with boots in the fall. My only reservation is that the abbreviated length doesn't do my legs any favors. The red sandals extend the color line, but with different colored footwear, I might not like the look so much. Maybe I'll just audition them in the blue.
