Blush and Chambray


 I was able to visit a H&M store recently while they were having a huge 4th of July sale and I picked up this pretty blush lace sleeveless top and a blush dress for....wait for it....$4.00 each!  I know, I couldn't believe it myself!  When I saw the sale price and the item(s) I thought "OK, what's wrong with it?" because normally when something is that inexpensive something is wrong with the fit.  But I took the items to the dressing room and I was totally surprised at how cute they were!  I can't wait to show you all the dress, but to me it's kinda on the fancy side so I'm saving it for a big occasion.


It's hard to see the detail of this top in the far away shots so here is a close up.  I absolutely love the lace panel.  I think this top will work great under a cardigan, blazer, or coat when the weather cools too!


It was a hot, hot day when I wore this outfit shopping and out to lunch with my husband.  I wore it with an old chambray skirt and new rose gold sandals.

Speaking of chambray/denim skirts I keep seeing women comment on blogs that's it's good to see denim skirts back in style again.  I'm so surprised, because I never knew they were out-of-style.  They seem as classic as a pair of jeans to me...at least, I've never stopped wearing them.


I'm a huge fan of short skirts when the temperatures climb, however I recently bought a midi chambray skirt from CJBanks as I know skirts this short aren't always appropriate.  I'm not sure if I like the midi skirt I just bought.  I always feel I look frumpy in midi skirts.  I might shorten it so it just touches the top of the knee.


 I carried a boho bag that had both colors of my outfit in it, and I wore a pink beaded bracelet on my wrist.


My Adrienne Vittadini Claud Gladiator Sandals in Rose Gold are new this season.  I bought them to wear on my vacation to Myrtle Beach because I wanted a very supportive walking sandals.  The support is great, my problem is the straps are a bit tight.  I wish this shoe was available in a wide.


I went shopping for a new pair of sunglasses.  I really wanted a pair of rose gold sunglasses, but when I saw these light pink sunglasses with gold trim, I changed my mind and bought these instead.  I got them from JCPenney.

I wore delicate long silver earrings instead of a necklace because I already had so much going on in my top.


I was surprised I bought two blush color items on this shopping trip, because normally this color does not look good on me.  I think because I have a tan from gardening, that I am finally able to wear this color near my face.  Normally blush washes me out or is so close to my natural skin color I look naked.



Have a Great Day!  Amy

    1. Thanks Carol. Taking pictures in the summer is so much easier than in the winter when I can use my garden as my photo location.

  2. Oh Amy, you have lovely legs for skirts like these. You look so cool in your pretty lacy top. And an amazing bargain! Like you, I didn't realise denim skirts go in and out of style, they're just always around. Luckily, because I like them!

  6. I love your new sandals, top & sunglasses! And you look fabulous in the shorter skirt! With legs like yours, you should definitely wear short skirts!

  7. Ok, guess I need to get my behind back to H&M. Love your blush top. I have a similar one from Loft but it has gotten those annoying tiny little tears in the fabric at the waist. Do you know the ones I speak of? Little holes caused from the zipper of my jeans underneath? the seat belt in the car? I have been wearing it anyway because I love it but maybe it is time for a replacement. And at $4, I can buy a replacement for the replacement!!

    You wear shorter skirts so well. Those legs, girl! Those legs!!

    1. Thanks Leslie. Yes, unfortunately I have a few of those little holes myself in some of my tops so I know what you're talking about. I hope you can find the top, it was a 4th of July special. I checked on-line and couldn't find it.
