It’s true. I’ve had this cold for going on a week now and I don’t know that I feel much better. But I’m planning to sleep and then sleep and then probably sleep some more this weekend and hopefully that will help.
Before we get to the clothes today, I want you to know about a great deal going on right now for my friend Sophie’s new book, Giddy Up, Eunice! that comes out June 7th. But if you pre-order a copy between now and May 17th, you get one free. It’s a BOGO like at Payless Shoes!

Now for some cute things I’ve seen this week and just to warn you, this could have been entitled “Embroidered Dresses I Love”:
1. asos premium ladder and lace swing sundress
I am so far from being a bride-to-be but if I were then I would rejoice in the skin I had twenty years ago and I would also buy this dress to wear to some pre-wedding festivities. It’s so pretty.
2. star mela lina embroidered tunic dress
I saw this online and immediately fell in love. And, good news, Asos offers free shipping on orders over $40.
3. star mela allie embroidered tunic dress
This is apparently the sister dress to the one above. I love them both.
4. forever 21 embroidered peasant dress
Last weekend I was shopping with Caroline and we found ourselves in Forever 21. And I experienced sensory overload. Then I saw this dress and kind of loved it. I tried it on and it’s too short and a little too sheer at the bottom to be a dress for a forty-something women, but it will look really great with white jeans. Forever 21 offers free shipping on orders over $50.
5. j.crew linen cotton embroidered dress
Continuing in my theme of embroidered dresses, I saw this one at J.Crew yesterday. For my fellow San Antonio friends, there’s a new J.Crew Mercantile store in the Quarry. I ran in there yesterday and saw this. It also comes in white and is on sale for $59.50.
But if a dress isn’t your thing, it also comes in an embroidered tank top.
6. j.crew striped eyelet dress
I saw this dress, too. It’s $39.50 and is so much prettier in person than this picture shows. It also comes in lilac and vibrant flame.
I like these tunics because they are lightweight, wrinkle-free and easy to throw on with just about anything.
This is on sale at Anthropologie and it also comes in an olive green. It’s made of Lyocell which is one of my favorite new fabrics because it’s so light and soft.
9. j.crew draped tank top with silky hem
Okay, last thing because I saw this yesterday and thought it was cute. It has a silky underlay which gives it a little something extra. It comes in blue, red, white and black.
That’s it for today.
Have a good Friday.
