A Book, Glass of Wine, Friends and Polka Dots

I am back with my Fashion Friday posts!  I know it's been a little bit of a break but I am back and I have content planned for the next few weeks.  I am not sure where you in the pandemic fight in the world but here we are doing well and things have re-opened.  Although things are reopening we are still trying to stay vigilant and cautious as best as we can.  Lucky for us we are spending most of our time at the lake this summer, surrounded by our lake neighbor bubble and going to the beach where we can keep social distancing.  I continue to shop once a week and we haven't even gone out for dinner yet!  That all leads me to say, that there is really minimal to no need for me to shop.  Sad but true.  Anyone else?  

So in the spirit of shopping my closet, I wore this outfit twice in the past two months.  Any occasion to get even a little dressed up I jump on it.  After months of not getting together monthly with my book club we were able to come together for an evening outdoors where we could still keep some social distance and keep it outdoors.  I tried to keep the snacks individualized with little bags of chips and individually wrapped chocolates.  We discussed Kristin Hannah's book, The Great Alone.  It's a MUST read!  Set in Alaska, in the middle of nowhere, we get to know characters that are plagued by PTSD, depression, love, devotion, and loyalty.  In the depths of great alone, friendship and bravery can also be discovered.  READ IT! 

I also wore this outfit for my birthday, read more about it here!  I love this tiered, ruffle, polka -a -dot skirt.  It has everything to make it a staple in my summer closet, while also being functional and easily transitioned into fall (no I am not thinking about fall fashion; don't rush my summer).  I paired it up with a longer, mauve tunic that is lightweight and also adds softness to the black of the skirt.  These pink slides are my favorites because they are so adorable with their pearls and ruffles!  My big birthday gift from everyone this year was investing in a new 35mm lens for photography.  But I did also get a cute little pair of Hillberg and Berk earrings.  Moment of TRUTH!  I bought two pairs as gifts but when I received them, I loved them so much I decided to keep a pair for me.  LOL.  Have you ever done that?

It's my BIRTHDAY and I'll twirl if I want to.
