Too Hot for Clothes! (Part 1 of some…)
I know most fashion bloggers and their followers are ready for Fall at this point in the summer. And I know everyone loves when Summer rolls around again and they can shed their layers and bring their sandals back into rotation. But I am one who would be superbly happy if it remained Fall for 12 months a year. In fact, I have been ready for Fall and planning my Fall outfits since mid-May! My perfect temperatures are between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature starts closing in on 70 degrees, I am uncomfortable, hot, and cranky, and I start the countdown to cooler days.

Cheese Curd Day

I found these NYDJ white skinny jeans on the clearance rack at Burlington Coat Factory. I was not familiar with this brand, but was curious…

Lunch and Errands
Today, after I dropped the kids at daycare, I had a few hours to run some errands and enjoy a leisurely lunch with my best friend E and my mother-in-law. The weather is starting to cool down a bit, so it was the perfect opportunity to try out my new “real” boyfriend jeans. I had been looking for a pair of darker wash boyfriend jeans, but since I didn’t really need a new pair of jeans, I didn’t want to pay the price of the oh-so-trendy style. And I had recently read on a fashion blog somewhere (and I cannot remember where, so I do apologize) that a cheaper option…
