This Print on Repeat

So, in case you wanted an update on how I am doing with my summer to-do list, I have tried a few new restaurants. For example, I tried a new Thai place that is just on the other side of this white wall I am standing in front of. (Quite frankly, it's been way too hot here to do much more than that!) My husband and I tend to go to the same dozen or so restaurants over and over again, which is why it's fun to try out new places. Plus, now that I am on summer vacation, we can reap the benefits of the weekday lunch specials that aren't often offered on weekends! I know this makes me sound really cheap, which in many ways I am, but whatever I save I can spend on new handbags, shoes, and clothing!



Like restaurants, I find that my wardrobe also tends to get into ruts as well, especially around summertime when the excessive heat means prioritizing function and comfort over style. I am also prone to gravitating to similar prints over and over again, like this floral one from J. Crew. I wore it on my blog last month when I bought it as a new arrival. Now that it is on sale, I am sort of bummed that I didn't wait longer for it, but I have been able to get a fair amount of use out of it in the meantime. I am actually contemplating buying the dress version of the print now that it's on sale. In fact, it's in my shopping cart as I am writing this!

  3. The print of your skirt... LOVE! The colors are great, and it's perfect with the pink checked shirt too. I love to try new restaurants, but we also tend to get stuck in a rut of eating at the same handful, so it's always fun to branch out!

  8. YASSSS I love the print on print look! I totally know what you mean, I live in a huge city and I just go to the same 6 restaurants over and over again! But there is something nice about going somewhere you know you like right?

  12. I love taking advantage of specials by restaurants, this way you can try it out and see if it's worth going back. I have the dress version and bought it full price as well. I am tempted to get the skirt :)

    Thank you for being a part of TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you soon!

  13. Honestly, I'd be wearing that gorgeous skirt all summer. I'm talking everyday! But with a closet full of gorgeous florals, you have a lot more choices hahaha. I get into ruts as well and I love your thoughts on saving money, we feel the same in that aspect. Money saved = new makeup! XO -Kim
