I am writing this while sitting in front of the window and watching the rain. It hasn’t rained for more than 5 minutes the entire summer and I am soaking it all in. I hope this brings some relief to the farmers because this has been a hard summer for crops.

While the humidity is maxing out the thermometer it has brought my thoughts to fall, so I went through some of my sweaters and long sleeve shirts to take an inventory. My favourite grey sweater from the last 3 years has a huge snag in the front of it. It was folded neatly on my shelf but it was on top, so I can only assume that the cat was walking through my clothes and got a nail caught (he has extra toes with extra nails and I have to keep them clipped because he gets them stuck on everything). I usually just weave the snag back in and smooth it out to make it not noticeable but it is smack dab in the middle of the front and it’s really obvious 🙁 this prompted some online shopping Friday night (so exciting I know, but wine and the last dregs of birthday cake were involved, Tom was still at work, and the kids were in bed so it was awesomely quiet to me).

I first hit up Zara where there was some amazing jeans that I quickly put into my basket to come back to later. Then when I came back they were gone, like totally disappeared off the website. I can only assume that they were listed before they should have been so they pulled them, because when they sellout of sizes they keep the page up where you can get an email notification when your size comes in. I’ll be stalking the site to see if they put the pants back up because they were fantastic.

On my perusal of the Mango site I found a great replacement grey sweater. I ordered a small and am questioning if I should have sized up to get a roomier fit. I hope it looks as good as the photo because I have actually been wanting a grey sweater in a style like this for a long time and never found one that prompted an instant buy.

I can’t wait to wear sweaters again. Are you over summer too?

Okay, so I obviously didn’t wear all the above this past week because I don’t change my outfit several times a day unless you count an outfit change as coming home and immediately removing my bra putting on some ragged leggings to bum around the house in. I have also worn several of my workout shirts out and about lately after exercising and not feeling like changing. Gross right? Sometimes your best effort is only a half effort 😉  But somewhere along the long I fell behind a week in my wardrobe posts and thought I would use this day to catch up. So above is a round up of the last two weeks.

Saturday was my birthday. We didn’t do much because I’m not a huge celebratory person. Once upon a time I was and my birthday meant extreme drunkeness and Guns N’ Roses songs being dedicated to me at the bar (I love GnR). That was back in the days when I could spend the next day sleeping off a hangover (I get bad hangovers) or go to work and spend the day hangover with the rest of my partying coworkers so we could commiserate. Today that would equate torture. Trying to deal with a hangover while maintaining a modicum of parenting. Dry heaving while preparing lunch sounds like a nightmare so I tend to avoid anything that may result in situations remotely resembling that. We spent the afternoon walking through Ikea and then outs or a nice Italian dinner (Italian, Mexican, and all day diner breakfast food are my favourites). We got home too late to buy a cake so Tom is went over to Whole Foods to pick one up Sunday. They have damn good cakes if you haven’t tried them. He also asked me what I wanted for a gift. I almost said nothing but who am I to pass up a present 😉 I think I would like a pair of Adidas Gazelles that they reissued since I don’t really have a sneaker (aside from Converse) in my wardrobe.

I think it would be totally appropriate to get them as a birthday gift because I got them a birthday gift back in around 1995. Not quite 20 years but damn close enough.

It’s so bizarre seeing things come back in style. My mom used to talk about how she wore “so and so” when she was younger and now it’s back, but when you experience it yourself it’s a totally different ballgame.

What is your favourite thing to see back in style?
