Kickback

The summer is over half over, and I still haven't gone on, or planned any vacation. Is there still hope, or am I destined to be blogging work looks through September?

I would really like to go to Cape Cod, I have a dress I've been saving. I know, it's so silly to save clothes, but I bet it's something we are all a little guilty of!

  7. This is such a pretty color on you! Adore the touch of leopard, you know how much Iove it! And I share the feeling no plans of getting out of the city for a mini vacation just yet.

  10. TOTALLY guilty! I also went on vacation . . . but didn't blog any of my vacation looks. I'm bad. But I had fun nonetheless. And I realized this weekend, as it was all cold and deary that summer is coming to a fast close and though I did go on vacation, there is still a slew of other things I wanted to do that never got done. The perpetual summer story I suppose. I love LOVE this green dress on you Lydia. And the leopard shoes were a great accent to it.

    Hope you get to make that trip to the Cape!

  29. gorgeous color!!!

    i save looks too. i think it's a blogger thing. you want the perfect look, for the perfect scenery for the perfect post. but i am going to stop doing that. clothes sit in my closet way to long.

    summer getaways are nice, but you save money by going a little after or before peak season :)

  32. I hope you get to take a vacation sometime in the next four weeks! Although where you live is so naturally beautiful, especially in the summer, it wouldn't be so bad to stick around :) And as for saving clothes, do you have any tips? I'm one of those people who practically wants to wear their new things out of the store! Like your dress, for example; I love it, and if I'd bought it today, I'd be wearing it as I type this :)

  33. I'm feeling you with the vacation less summer, Lyddie, my Lyddie! I think we've got a family trip up north to the Dakotas and Montana coming quickly, though. I hope you can squeeze a mini vacation somewhere in your busy schedule! And yes, we all do save clothes. I save mine for special days, too, like birthdays and the like. :)

    I looove aqua on you! That dress is so cute and looks nice ad breezy for the summer. <3
