Back In My Jeans Again

After several weekends of staying home trying to get household projects done, my husband and I decided it was time to get out and enjoy ourselves for a change.  We went to the Ellsworth Cheese Curd Festival (and yes, I'll be doing a travel post about that soon!) and then stopped at Memorial Park in Red Wing, MN on the way home:  that's where all these pretty pictures were taken for today's fashion post.

We've been hit with a cold front the past few days, so I'm back in my jeans again!  Our high this day was only 65.  I thought a simple kimono would be sufficient but I probably could have used a sweatshirt as it was quite windy all day...which made it seem colder.  Oh, will summer ever get here to stay?


My kimono is old.  The first time I showed this kimono to you was HERE.  In that post I wore it with boyfriend jeans and a metallic silver tee.  I also wore it over a romper in This POST.  This time I tried  my kimono over a white tee with grey skinny jeans and black sandals.


This was an outfit I wasn't sure about;  I just threw it on as we were in a hurry to get out the door, but I ended up getting a lot of compliments on it throughout the day.  It's always nice to be complimented by strangers.


The tee is a relaxed fit V-neck by a.n.a and the jeans are Liz Claiborne City Fit Skinny Vintage Wash Pant in "Vapor".  Both are from JCP and new this season.



Even though we went to a festival and a park, we didn't do too much strenuous walk so a pair of comfortable flat sandals was all that was needed.  These are by Carlos Santana (old, from DSW).


For jewelry, I wore a long mix of gold and red necklaces and a gold bracelet.


These fun pictures were taken in front of an old cistern in the park.  It looked like a tower from an old castle, it was so fun!  I'm sure you'll see more of this cistern in a future travel post.




Have a Great Day!  Amy

    1. I've never worn a kimono on a hot day to avoid a sunburn. I'll have to try that sometime. I usually wear them when the weather is cooler.

    1. Thanks Shauna, and would you believe I don't own a long one? Both of mine are short. Hmmm, maybe I need to rectify that.

    1. Thanks Elli! The cooler weather is so nice for gardening, that I would agree, but not much for other summer activities like swimming or boating!

    1. Thanks Jessica! We've had a few hot days in early June, which is very odd for Wisconsin, and since then it's been cool.
