Is it Friday yet?
Yes. Yes it is.
I’m not sure why this week has seemed so long but I think it has something to do with packing a lunch every morning at 7:00 a.m. The ham sandwiches make the days seem long. I think Plato first said that.
After I picked Caroline up from school yesterday we ran by Gap to see what they had on sale. She found a pair of leopard print ankle booties that she declared to be “rad”. I’m sorry? Rad?
I asked, “How do you know the word rad?”
“Mom, I am in third grade. I know about rad.” Apparently third grade is the year you know ALL KINDS of things.
She also found a pair of brown suede boots that she had to have. I reminded her that there was another pair of brown suede boots that she’d already said she wanted and she only needs one pair of brown boots. She replied, “A girl can NEVER have too many boots”.
The force is strong in that one.
I went shopping with my friend Steph yesterday and we saw this hat. While I love the idea of a hat, I’m not sure about the actual wearing of aforementioned hat. But I plan to buy one just as soon as I feel like I could wear it without feeling like I might be mistaken as an extra from the cast of Newsies.
I did buy one of these necklaces. They are a great buy and look like the ones at Anthropologie that are significantly more expensive.
This is the kind of thing I’d throw on all the time. In fact I think I used to have one just like this that I bought in Mexico in 1986.
4. rainyday mac
I almost wept with joy when I saw that the Farmers’ Almanac has predicted a wet winter for Texas. Please, Lord.
I don’t dare to buy a raincoat because I bought rainboots last January and it hasn’t rained since, but if I were feeling like a gambling kind of girl I’d buy this coat.
The website says this is “online only”. So I don’t know how well it’s made. But I think it’s really cute and would look great with leggings or tights and boots.
6. tolani print silk tunic (plus size)
I discovered Tolani tunics last spring and fell in love with them. I adore all the prints and patterns. This one is on sale at The Rack.
7. eight sixty sleeveless print top
I realize this is sleeveless but I like it a lot. And I think it might look really cute layered under a sweater or a blazer or something like that.
Or maybe not.
I don’t know. It’s late and I’m tired.
Really pretty scarf.
9. sheer sophistication blouse
This is a great blouse. It’s a little bit long and comes in a vast array of colors. This time of year I like lightweight things that I can throw on with jeans and boots and look like I put forth some effort.
Super cute jacket with a darling little ruffle detail. But, yet, a subtle ruffle. Because you don’t want to be that girl wearing that big ruffled jacket. Or maybe you do. In which case this isn’t the jacket for you.
That’s it for today. Y’all have a great Friday.
