April Showers

It seems befitting to start off April with some outfit photos taken in the rain. While rainy day photos have never been my favorite, not taking outfit photos for an entire week was never going to work. Having Meg and Christine there to take them did make it a bit more fun, and seeking shelter under the buildings' covered walk way kept us (mostly) dry.

We made a spur of the moment lunch date at "O" Bar in Trumbull, followed by a little trip to TJMaxx. I loved looking at all the new spring items, silk floral blouses in soft pastels, breezy shift dresses, whisper thin knits; something about it felt so cathartic, a big part of me wants to go and purge half my closet. Transitioning from winter into spring makes me feel like I want to be someone new.

In a mix of old and new, I pulled out my treasured London Fog Trench, thrifted for less than the cost of a cup of coffee, a thrifted sweater, a lovely new ceramic and rose gold link bracelet that Jeweshop sent over, a new-to-me J.Crew striped skirt and vintage mint handbag. The skirt was an ebay purchase, the bag is from the Village Vogue Consignment shop.

I've been spending a lot more time in Milford and getting more familiar with the secondhand shops there. Village Vogue is all women's apparel with a nice mix of higher end designers and vintage pieces; setup inside a colonial house, wandering through different rooms makes for an enjoyable shopping environment.
