Remember That Q1 Shopping Freeze?

She gone.

Oh my gosh y’all. First of all, apologies to my handful of dedicated readers for my lack of consistency getting these little notes out every week. I’m trying to find a rhythm and I swear I’ll be more “on it” in the weeks to come. Hang with me! It’ll get better! *insert pinky swear here*

Secondly, it’s been a whiplash-y couple of weeks (work stuff and life stuff clash at the worst times amiright?). So. I shopped. Only a little bit! It’s called retail therapy. But let’s talk about what I bought. It’s a pretty good haul.

1. Denim dress. The second this dress hit Reformation, it was a no brainer for me. I have a Reformation dress from last summer in a similar style and I wore her more than a dozen times. This dress is that dress’s older sister and I LOVE HER.

2. Cardigan jacket. Gap outdid themselves with this 100% cotton cardigan. It’s adorable on it’s own as a sweater, unbuttoned and over a tee, or used in place of a denim jacket/slung over your shoulders. An excellent transition layer.

3. Mesh sandals. I was not seeking these cutie cute cute sandals out. They found me. I couldn’t say no. I’ll wear them to death. Moving on.

4. Those silver sneakers. Remember my last post (the one where I said I wasn’t going to shop until Q2) when I said I want these sneakers? Well…I couldn’t stop thinking about them and now they’re en route. I can’t WAIT.

5. Brown mascara. All my makeup wearing life I’ve worn black mascara. Sometime last year I decided on a whim to dabble in brown. I’m never going back. Tower 28 and YSL are my two faves (two very different brush experiences so pick your fave or try both and let me know which you prefer. Mom, you’ll prefer the Tower 28 one. It also comes in black).

Past dipping my toe back into shopping (I’m locking it back up a bit longer), I did some great reading over the last couple of weeks. Currently, I’m gobbling up Everyone on This Train is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson. So far, it’s giving Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express in the best way. I’m on a mystery kick these days.

What sort of list should we get into next week? More recipes? Podcast recs? Books? Would love to hear your thoughts. Until then…have a great Sunday!
