Friday night I got home and realized I spilled on my dress, so I switched to the dress that arrived in the mail – the “Kate” dress from J. Crew in “Flame.” This is a bright orange-red that I adore. On sale and with a coupon so the dress was a cheap as Old Navy. Score! Same accessories.
Attended a circle of women in my community which was really wonderful. Met some new people, connected closer with those I already knew, had some of the BEST watermelon of the season!
Saturday… for the life of me I cannot remember Saturday. Oh yes, yoga, then lunch with my mom, then ran errands. I came home and tried out some of the camping supplies for our upcoming trip to Bonnaroo, waterproofed my Duo boots, took a nap, went out to dinner… nothing terribly exciting and no pictures.
Sunday began with errands and then yoga.

After this , we headed to the Eastern Shore to visit our good friends. Knew it was a relaxed atmosphere and probably some time spent on the beach.

We had a great time, saw lots of friends, played with their son who just turned 1, chilled on the beach and grilled for dinner. Got a bit of sun even though I put on the SPF 30.

You know I love Nordstrom, and I especially love the retailer at sale time. Free shipping, free returns without a time limit, and high quality items that are often seasonally appropriate. Below are my picks from the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale which is taking place now through June 4, 2017.
I don’t often post about my weekend because it’s often pretty boring. If you follow me on Twitter you’ll see I sometimes Tweet what I am wearing, and it often includes “vintage jeans” (worn-out Gap Essential Jeans that got too short so I took a seam ripper to the hem) and striped tees (not shocking… Continue Reading My Weekend Mar 22, 2011
Nuuly Clothing Rental Review I love the concept of renting clothing. While I find value in workhorses in my closet that can be worn time and time again, year after year, I also love frivolity, trends, and statement pieces. Instead of buying such pieces and finding they collect dust after a season, it’s great to… Continue Reading Nuuly Clothing Rental Review by an Over-40 Midsize Woman

LOVE that dress with those sandals. What a fantastic color, reminds me of that long ago blood orange Mizrahi sweater at Target.
