Ice cream run

Since it's summer now, walking to the center of town for ice cream shall be a regular occurrence. It's important that you walk and not drive, because there are at least 500 calories in a small serving of Phish Food...

So when I was getting dressed I thought that it was my idea to pair a rust colored top with these ikat shorts, but then I realized it was just my subconscious remembering something I'd seen in a J.Crew catalog last week.
But at least I can still take credit for the brilliant bag pairing -- a newly thrifted Coach!
I believe it's the City Bag, and I love the dual tone. So pretty.

  2. I think I ate my weight in froyo this weekend, but tried to make up for it by walking everywhere. I love the rust with the blue. Chloe makes a perfect accessory:)

  5. Yum! I'm not an ice cream fan generally, but chocolate ice cream does tempt me from time to time. :)

  6. I love going on walks to get ice cream - the exercise I get tends to negate the guilt I feel over my indulgence :) Josh and I just discovered a new amazing ice cream shop about half a mile away, and have been visiting it several times a week lately.

    I love your outfit, especially the turquoise bracelets - they really stand out against the rest of the outfit.

  15. This is the best color combination ever.

    I think I tell you that about once/week, but really, I mean it this time.

    I've never seen a two-toned vintage Coach like that. Jealous! It will seriously go with everything.
