This long summer vest makes me happy because I love to layer! Even in the summer. When it’s 100 degrees. Maybe it’s because, for a split second this weekend, I wished it was fall. 😉 I bought this vest about 2 weeks ago and have already worn it several times and all different ways. The material is really thin, so it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing an extra layer. (I would die otherwise, because I can’t handle the heat.) I love it with my favorite cutoff shorts, but I’ve also worn it with skinny jeans and my Tory Burch sandals. It has a way of pulling a whole outfit together and making a basic tank so much more chic. Speaking of which, this white tank is my new fave. It’s so soft and comfy, and perfect for layering. I went up a few sizes (I’m wearing a Medium) because the XS was really fitted, and I wanted a more relaxed fit. The straps are nice and thick at the top, so you don’t have to worry about bra strap drama.
I spent almost the entire weekend at the mall. haha! Let me explain. First of all, it was SO hot here on Friday. My car thermometer actually said 106 when I got in it. So because I knew we wouldn’t be doing anything outside (obviously), I asked Johannes if he wanted to go to the mall. (This is the same child that I rarely take to the mall, because he’s in the terrible two’s and likes to embarrass me in public places.) He said “go to mall”, and I was like “okay”! haha! It actually went much better than I anticipated. I made sure we did lots of fun activities for him in between all of the “mama stores” (that’s what he calls them). At one point, we went outside to leave, and as we were walking to the car, he said “go back in mall”. So back in we went! Don’t have to ask me twice! 😉
Then on Saturday, it was gross out and rainy, but we didn’t want to be stuck inside all day. So we went to a different mall and had another fun day. I got to do a little shopping, and Johannes made a minion at Build-A-Bear and rode on those annoying ride things. You know which ones I mean right? The ones that take quarters? haha. So maybe there is hope after all. He seemed to love the mall this weekend, which made me one happy mama!
I hope you all had a great weekend, too! Thanks for stopping by!
