Day 127: The future of my wardrobe

How am I going to get dressed in the morning once all of my clothes are available to me again? It seems overwhelming. I also notice that there aren't many clothes I actively miss at the moment, though I'm sure I'll be excited to wear some when I see them. Since I started this project and blog, I really started reading fashion and style blogs, and I realize that my wardrobe needs some major work.  I'm feeling inspired to go out and buy a whole bunch of new clothes, but where would I start? I am thinking I need all kinds of different sweaters, ones that play with proportion, necklines, and designs, as well as pencil skirts and tights to phase out any uninspired work pants.  What do you want to add to your wardrobe?

Day 94: My original Lilly

If you know me, you probably know that I have a particular soft spot for Lilly Pulitzer that goes beyond an affinity for bright colors. I love Lilly's clothes because they remind me of Margaret, who introduced me to the tropical clothing line in the summer of 2002. Margaret and Pa took my family to Nantucket, where we stayed at a house on Cisco Beach where we swam, biked, and read, and Mom made calamari, and I got to sleep in the attic nook, my favorite room of the house.  On one of our days in town, Margaret brought us into the Lilly store and together we picked out this pink and orange flamingo and palm tree dress.  It was a really special moment for me because it's not every day that someone buys me whatever I would like.  It's almost 10 years later, and I still think this dress was a solid choice.

Day 59: Very Maryland

On Saturday, two of Dave's friends got married, and we attended the wedding in Maryland.  I wore a different dress for the drive down and lunch with our friend Danielle and her boyfriend Andrew, and I owe you a picture of that dress.  I changed into something fresh and festive for the wedding; there are crabs all over this dress, even though I unfortunately didn't have crabs either of the past two weekends I spent in Maryland. 

I have not been kind to my feet lately. Lots of walking means many blisters, which is why I can't even wear these sandals fully.  I really need to find more comfortable shoes.

Day 30: Tropical Treat

For a double date at Mixto, I wanted to wear this tropical silk tube top. I used to love getting dressed up to go out in the city in this shirt, but now I feel too old for tube tops. It matches this dress perfectly, which is good because something needs to happen with the neckline of the dress. It's something I never would have put together before, but it might have something to do with how good those mojitos were. And of course, the basil lemonade at Misconduct to watch the Phillies win was delicious, as usual.

Dress: H&M

Shirt: Lilly Pulitzer

Earrings and Shoes: Don't know; had since high school
