Where: Rex's end of season baseball party and birthday dinner (mine!!!) with a friend.
Ease of Wear: (4 of 5 stars--5 being the most easy to wear.) I got frustrated with the shorts because they fit but they get wrinkly so fast. (They are a cotton stretch sateen that is lightweight, so they wrinkle when you breathe on them.) The lighter color shows the wrinkles, so even though they feel great on, I am acutely aware of the wrinkles and my OCD goes into overdrive. LOL. I really need to get over it.
The Silky Vintage top (here at Boden
, review of the green floral version here) is fab, though, so comfortable and easy to wear. After realizing that the Selina dress in the same color was not going to work for me (latest review on that one here), I decided two Silky Vintage tops would work instead. Probably better for my lifestyle, too, honestly.Cool Factor: (3.75 of 5 stars--5 being the coolest--for both outfits.) I received a lot of compliments on my outfit, especially the combo of the Silky Vintage top in the party floral and its matching sister bag, the Chelsea Clutch (here
). Of course I live in the land where Lilly Pulitzer pink and green flamingo dresses are a very good thing, so take all that with a grain of salt, especially if you are not very preppy. ;-)Anecdote from the Day: The house we went to for Rex's end of season baseball party had this insanely pretty pool. It was finished with these deep grey slate tiles and the color of the water was this gorgeous teal blue. Since I am used to the bright sky blue you see in regular neighborhood pools, it was a nice change of pace. I immediately wished we could have a pool like that. (In our millionaire dreams, of course.)
Where: CW's friend's birthday party.
Ease of Wear: (4.5 of 5 stars--5 being the most easy to wear.) Hi, pretty Boden jersey maxi dress! It is nice to bring you out again for another year! :-) You are still as comfortable as I remember you being in years past, and as usual, the brightly colored graphic was an instant mood lifter.
(BTW, I wore another one today to Angus's Little Gym class--this green and purple one--and a friend confessed wanting a Boden maxi dress in her cart--I assume this one
--and I told her to go for it. Of course I enabled her...I really think she needs to be in on the secret of the "almost as comfortable as pjs" dress.)Cool Factor: (4 of 5 stars--5 being the coolest--for both outfits.) Simple colorful summer easy dressing. Pretty cool for me.
Anecdote from the Day: Rex acted up at the lunch we all went to, so we had to take his opportunity to go to the movie with his dad away, so while CW and I played at her friend's party, Rex had to sit around with his daddy and brother doing nada instead. What made it worse for him is that we were already on our way to the movie/party at lunch (I was going to go to the party while they were at the movie), so he couldn't even do nada at home, instead he had to do nada at the local Wal-Mart. Sigh. But I bet he won't do that again. Let's hope, anyhow.
Okay, that's it for now. I hope everyone is set to have a wonderful weekend!
