My latest in online shopping fun may have been influenced by my imagination, in which I am spending my days near a beach, where it is about 75-80 degrees every day with a slight breeze. Some recent picks:
1) I have been all about Wildfox Couture lately, which is pretty new for me given that I haven't shopped for casual fun (rather than for work) in a while. I definitely get the hype around this stuff -- the graphic tees/sweatshirts are just too cute to resist. I usually go for the Baggy Beach Jumpers, which are super comfy and sweatshirt-y but still light enough that they don't add bulk and you can wear them in the summer. (Err, in *a* summer. Maybe not the summer I'm about to experience. Okay, maybe more wearable in fall/spring or on the west coast.)
This week's buy was the "Coco" Sweatshirt, which is available at Nordstrom (now 40% off - woot!). It fits the same as the usual Baggy Beach Jumper, so I assume it is the same style. I love bows and needed to have this. The color is actually a bit more pink/less greyish-pink than pictured, which I think I like more.
2) Keeping up the Wildfox obsession-of-the-moment (this obsession may last a while, though, since I am a sucker for cute, girly things), I picked up a pair of the "Juliet" sunglasses in black. I needed a pair of everyday black sunglasses and I usually go for a wayfarer style. These ones have stars on them and I therefore think they are adorable. Grown-up sunglasses with stars! Excellent.
Fortunately, I should be able to get some wear out of the sweatshirt before it gets too hot in NYC, even if I don't end up transporting to a more moderate climate for the entire summer. Now to find a way to spin a slouchy pink sweatshirt with a large bow on it as "business casual" so that I can wear it on weekdays. IF ONLY.
