Everyone has this jacket

I can see why the utility jacket is so popular, it pretty much goes with everything, and this particular one from Old Navy is very lightweight which makes it ideal for these spring into summer months.

This orange silk top is part of my last big thrift haul. It's from a store in New Canaan CT (where the rich people live) and all the clothing there was half off. I left with this bright orange tank, a white Loft pencil skirt, a black Banana Republic tee, and a grey cashmere hoodie. I got it all for $30, which is both a lot of money, and not a lot of money. Thrift shopping is funny like that.

It's so three years ago

The inspiration for this outfit comes from an old issue of Lucky Mag; I was searching my blog archives and came across this post where I'd scanned several pages with looks I wanted to recreate. The pink skirt and mint bag are spot on, but I toned it down a great deal with a less busy jacket, simpler shoe and more minimalist jewelry.

Make it count

It's June! The first month of summer, my favorite time of year. It always goes too fast, but I am determined to make the most of it this year. I still don't have a job, which has both it's cons as well as it's pros, and has helped me make the decision to take a shopping break this month. I made my last purchase of May a very good one though - a white leather mini satchel. It fills the Coach and Rebecca Minkoff shaped holes in my heart closet at a TJMaxx price. You'll see it later this week.

I think a break from shopping will be good for me, because while there will always be new things to want, I don't actually need anything. This summer I will be wearing a ton of white, and it is very well represented in my current wardrobe. I want to pare things down, clean out my closet again, and just embrace a simple summer style, with lots and lots of white.
