Drip drip drop little summer showers

My father has been busy putting a roof on our back porch. Once finished it will be perfect for those summer days of intermittent rain showers when you really want to be outside but don't particularly want to get wet. Much like today. Ahh, I can't wait to be able to sit outdoors enjoying a book and a cup of tea all whilst being protected from the elements.


Top and shorts: H&M, Cardigan: J. Crew
Locket: estate sale, Minnetonka moccasins

The locket I'm wearing has a sweet illustrated cabochon in the center that I couldn't photograph for the life of me. I'll work on that. It was one of several small goodies I picked up at an estate sale this morning. I also stopped by a vintage store in Albany that was having a ''fill your bag for $10 sale." 'Twas a good day for rummaging.

Aaah, when I read your email about the vintage store sale, I wished I lived in Albany! haha.. Did you find some great stuff?

You look adorable in these photos. Casual chic at it's finest.

Fill your bag for 10 dollars? Lucky!
I'm loving the stripes and the shorts. And I miss having a back porch. Hope the roof goes up quickly and that you enjoy your summer reading.

Awwww. The thought of sitting on a porch with a roof overhead, tea, a book, maybe some cake, and a combo of warmth and sunshowers is just amazing. I'm waiting for summer to come back here.

And what a perfectly charming outfit, lovely!
