Nothing New

Earlier this summer I was thinking about a bucket list of things I'd like to do, which are pretty much the things I want to do every summer - spend more time at the beach, read more books, plan a long weekend on Block Island, have a picnic, visit a sunflower field, ect. Naturally the end of August sneaks up as it always does, and most of that list never gets realized. Then I started thinking about my summer outfit bucket list, and how I have things hanging in my closet from last summer I still haven't worn!

Yes, I've worn both this blouse and these pumps before, but last summer I imagined wearing them together for a fun evening out, which never happened. Rather than let another summer pass with this outfit not being worn, I decided that Sunday breakfast at the little place on the corner we always go to would be occassion enough.

  1. The temptation to save outfits for the perfect occasion is strong, but you never know when that perfect occasion may actually come along, so it's much better just to wear them when you have a chance - and Sunday breakfast seems like the perfect chance to me. (But then again, this is life with a chef - Sunday breakfast is our version of date night :P) I love the fringe detail on the sandals, it really fun, and the blue and white shades are absolutely gorgeous together.

  2. Seriously I save clothes for "just" the right occasion and then it never comes and I'm like, why have I not worn this?! I've decided that life is one party and you show up dressed how you want to, regardless of the occasion!

  3. At least you got a wear in, right? And I mean those shoes are too cute not to wear out somewhere. I have a depressing large section of my closet currently that's unworn summer clothes - I really overestimated how much I'd be able to get dressed and leave the house this summer with baby Eleanor.

  6. I say take the plunge and get those things on your summer bucket list done. It's August and summer doesn't actually end until September 22 so there's still time. Get out there! And by the way, this top fits you like a dream!

  11. Summer always seems to leave so quickly! Glad you were able to wear this outfit before the seasons changed. Those heels and blouse were made for each other!
