Layers & Loafers


A quick post as I end my vacation in Connecticut. It only rained one day during my two week visit (lucky me!), but the sun came out by the afternoon. This outfit worked perfectly for the change in weather. Loose fitting denim (love the patches), a tank, and a vest to keep out the chill from the rain. I also had to wear these loafers since they were such a steal from a local consignment shop! Plus, how cute are the lobsters?!? Pretty fitting for a vacation in New England. Happy Kicks for my Yankee roots...until next year!

Shorts & A Tee


Summertime and the living is easy! I've been visiting family for the past week and a half. My days have been filled with swimming, seaglass hunting, ferry rides, vineyard tours, painting, shopping, more swimming, and of course relaxing. I know, life is tough. I wore this outfit last week to walk around the green and visit the shops in Branford, CT where my mom lives. I knew I wanted to be comfortable so I paired this loose tee with a pair of patterned shorts. I love the palm trees on this pair ~ super beachy and summery! Of course no comfy outfit is complete without a pair of sneaks. My New Balances completely fit the bill. I had to jazz things up a bit with this sequined clutch of course. I like to mix in one piece that you wouldn't normally pair with a casual look. Happy Kicks for vacations and comfy summer outfits! Cheers!
