- I finally bought a tennis skirt this past weekend while shopping with my SIL, Sarah. Boy these things are short! It didn't help my tennis game much, but it did help me on the treadmill last night.
- It is hard to concentrate on your tennis game when the ice cream truck keeps circling the park!
- I was pretty disappointed with The Bachelorette the other night. I was pulling for Reid or Kiptyn, although Ed was one of my top picks. They were very cute together last night on the show. I love Jillian's style. If you love her style too, you can visit this site to find out where her clothes are from.
- Do you ever have a shirt, skirt, dress, etc. that you search for, for years? {yes, that is a horrible sentence, but I couldn't come up with anything else. leave me alone.} I love striped oxford shirts. I have one that is light pink and white that I LOVE. It is my go to shirt. I have been searching for a blue and white one for years. I have had the pink one since probably junior year of college. It is just a classic shirt that will be in style forever. If you look closely you can see the stripes. They don't show up very well in photos.
A few weeks ago Chesley and I were searching for a few clothing items for her to take on vacation. We just happened to wander into JCPenney, which is where the pink and white striped shirt is from. I came across a blue and white one! I was so excited, but not excited about the price. I know, I know I had been searching for this shirt for years, but they have a different sale every week so I decided to wait. I went online yesterday it was on sale for almost 1/2 off! Whoo hoo! Ches and I headed to the mall and I bought it. {I realize that several stores sale a shirt similar to this every year, but they never fit me right. They always seemed to be too boxy.}
- I know I have had several self-portraits lately. I promise I'm not incredibly vain!
*Update: The belt is from Forever 21.*
I love oxfords, you're right, they are very classic! I'll have to check JCPennys out! Plus, I love that belt!
ReplyDeletethat outfit is great! i love it! you are so right, oxfords are fabulous. i wear the rl slim fit size 6 or 8 (depending on my weight at the time haha). i really need to check out jcpenney though!
ReplyDeleteI love your new shirt and the belt accessory totally makes the outfit!!
ReplyDeleteCute shirt! You're right, it is a great slim fit. I never would have thought to try JC Penny. Good to know.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOUR OXFORD SHIRTS!!!! One time I went to this really nice consignment store and tehy had a Ralph LAuren pink and white striped oxford for like 20 bucks!!! I had been wanting one for forever but it didnt fit right.

ReplyDeleteI tagged you :)
Cute shirt! I left you an award on my blog!!
ReplyDeletelove the shirt! i am always on the lookout for a new oxford, but have the same trouble with finding ones with a little shape!
ReplyDeleteI love love love oxfords! Such classic shirts. Ralph Lauren also has some great ones. They are a little more expensive but if you live near an outlet they always have them discounted there. I bought a teal and white one last Christmas for around $30!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue shirt! and with that belt. And I find it very hard to believe that you need to hit the treadmill!

ReplyDeleteI am loving that belt!! It looks so cute with the collared shirt :)
ReplyDeleteCute! I have a bunch of friends who work at JCPenney corporate, I'm all for it. They have a ton of cute new lines!
ReplyDeletelooks very cute! esp with the belt :)
ReplyDeletelove the shirt with the belt!! And you know, the skirt will help the tennis, you just need a few more of them...;) lol.
ReplyDeleteMotherhood blessed me with some hips so I could never pull off that look, but it looks sooooo cute on you!You can also find those shirts at Ann Taylor Loft, I have seen lots lately. GOod to see you at wedding!
ReplyDeleteCuuuute shirt. I have the hardest time with their fit, but this one looks absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love oxfords! I probably wear them 4 days a week either at work or at home with skirts...
ReplyDeleteI have a go-to oxford too that is just like pink one! I love it! I have a white one too!
ReplyDeleteI totally wanted it to be Kypton too! Maybe he'll be the next bachelor!
ReplyDeleteSo now that you've got your skirt, we need to go hit some tennis balls!
ReplyDeleteCute shirt! I know what you mean about a lot of them being too boxy. Maybe I will have to head over to JC Penney's to check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie
I love Oxfords too!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a shirt like your pink one that I LOVED, too! I dunno what happened to it. I'm selling TONS of clothes & shoes in my yard sale. I'm actually having it in LG because the location is prime - in the back of my dads drug store smack dab in the middle of town. But I plan on having one here too for the things I don't sell. You're more than welcome to come TAKE (as in have) any clothes or shoes before the sale. Seriously, if you're interested. I have some stuff with the tags still on it. I'm ridic.
ReplyDeleteI love oxford shirts! I was just thinking yesterday that I need a light pink one for the summer. They are def a go-to shirt. Love the blue! And the belt is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about the ice cream truck, except mine is in the form of Freckles!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that shirt and belt combo.
I love oxfords they are the best shirts. So glad you found one for half off, that's awesome!!
ReplyDeleteand I'm pretty sure I would have been running down that ice cream truck. ;)
Love that outfit! And tennis skirts are short! Played for years competitively so I got used to it, but geesh!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Your comment about the treadmill and the tennis skirt made me laugh. Try walking on a BIG incline - it does wonders for your backside. It worked for me, back in the day when I actually went to the gym (before Bubba).
ReplyDeleteyour self portraits are so cute! keep them coming! and i love the link to jillian's clothes.. if only i could afford them!!
ReplyDeleteYour shirt looks great with the belt! I am thinking I need a tennis skirt too. My boyfriend wanted to play the other night and I am just so bad at it, but probably a cute skirt would help. I was rooting for Kiptyn, but I think he deserves someone a little more classy than Jillian. I liked Ed, but NOT those green shorts!
ReplyDeleteI love your style!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are definitely items that I have in my mind for ages before I find them, if I find them!!! The shirt is lovely - blue really suits you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great weekend matey!

Love the shirt, and the belt!!
ReplyDeleteYou always look so adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteLinds,
ReplyDeleteI think the ice cream men are banning together to throw those of us who are exercising off. We went and ran through the triathlon course on Tuesday and we ran into the stinking ice cream man twice! He drove along besdie us for a little while playing that annoying music! OMG! The blue oxford with that belt is ADORABLE on you!
Wow I never thought of belting my shirts like that but I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I have secretly been following it for a while, but I have never commented! I love the new shirt! You look so cute and very classy! Love the belt!
ReplyDeleteWe have the same iPhone cover!!!!! :)
ReplyDeletei think your self portraits are beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteCute shirt! I have a pink stripped one just like it from Polo (the outlet). They are such a great staple in the closet!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! :) I don't know if I have ever commented before, I'm terrible about that but I keep coming back to yours. Your skin is beautiful!
