Flowers in February

Monday, while rarely a welcome occurrence feels somewhat softened by the weekend which preceded it. Happy to be free of any demanding plans, I had a chance to sleep in and relax. On Saturday I went to Roundabout in Westport with Meg for their winter clearance sale. I only shop there twice a year, when the entire store is 65%, plus an extra 10% off.

This time I came home with two pieces, one is the blouse I'm wearing here, by Tracy Reese, which was marked down to $23. Retail was $248. I don't own a lot of purple, and with my weakness for silk blouses it seemed silly not to buy it.

In contrast to last weekends weather, it was spring again, and I was so happy that I didn't even wait to wear my new blouse, but rather changed into it in the car. I then realized that on a windy day it's the kind of blouse that needs a cammi underneath it, though I didn't let that change my resolve to wear it the remainder of the day.

I'll share the other piece I got tomorrow!

  1. I always love hearing about your adventures at the Roundabout clearance sale, the deals sound just incredible and while you may not often wear purple, this blouse is proof that it absolutely suits you. Plus, silk for $23? Who could possibly argue with that? Especially when it fits so seamlessly into your existing wardrobe :)

  15. You were SO right to get that blouse--it is gorgeous on you! The color, the print... love it! Also, that does sound like pretty much the perfect weekend--it helps when you actually feel recharged after the weekend, rather than more exhausted!
