I Really Need A Fun Weekend After This Week!

Hey everyone! Whew! What a week. We had a storm blow through here and knock out our electricity for 24 hours, so that was fun. And my husband started his new job which, if you’ve started a new job lately, you know can be exhausting. But, my sister is going to be here this evening and will be here for the whole weekend. We’re going to go to the local farmer’s market and we’ll pick up some good cheese and bread and she always brings tasty wine from her great little wine shop in Hillsborough NC, so it will be a nice end to this ridiculously long week!

As you know, I’ve purchased two maxi skirts this summer. I felt I needed (maybe I should say “needed”) them since there were a few times where I wanted something more dressed up than shorts but still easy summer casual. You’ve already seen this skirt before here and this top before here . I know! What kind of fashion blogger am I that I show the same items over and over? A real person blogging about clothes, that’s who!

These skirts are also going to be great to throw over a bathing suit when walking to and from the beach when I’m on vacation in one week. Plus, they are relatively low cost ($18) so I’m not going to be treating them preciously, so they’ll be laying in sand on the beach. They’re available in a bunch of cute patterns and in plus-size and tall sizes too. As I write this the links aren’t working but perhaps by the time you read this JCPenney will have fixed their website.

I’m wearing my cute peplum top you’ve already seen that is working with a lot of outfits this summer. And adding some jolts of color with my yellow mules which are 40% off right now during Nordstrom’s anniversary sale! They have them in red, black and gray as well my mustard color which was out of stock for awhile.

Finishing with the pumpkin purse which is also available in 7 colors but not on sale…yet! I’m always keeping an eye on this bag so I can alert you when it goes on sale. Don’t worry! I got your back!

Gosh, I feel especially excited for vacation this year. Maybe I’m like this every year before vacation, but I am so looking forward to it this year. I’ve been looking on Google maps at the satellite images of the cabin we’ll be staying at since it’s the first time we’ve been to this exact one. Our deck is overlooking the sugar sand shore of Lake Michigan where I will be watching the sun set over the water and listening to the loons do their iconic “up north” call.

Doesn’t that sound perfect? Really helps me remember the world is pretty amazing. I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friends!

  1. What a stressful week, Julia!! Although the storm could be a blessing in disguise. You have to relax and do nothing…..:)
    I love seeing the same pieces worn different ways. In fact, Nancy will many times say that she’s stressed because she doesn’t have as many clothes as my mom and I, yet I tell her that it’s a good thing…she doesn’t believe me though…

  2. Ooh, power outages test my last nerve! But, you survived and you have VACATION on the horizon!

    You know *I* don’t mind seeing the same items over and over again, I’m the QUEEN of wearing one piece a million times! I think learning to style items many different ways is the key to responsible wardrobe planning. Ha, I sound so ADULT.

    Enjoy your sister’s visit this weekend, it sounds fun! Maybe I’ll go to the farmer’s market tomorrow, too!
