Bringing Back the Denim Skirt

Mondays are harder in the summer, am I right? Who wants to go sit in an office when the weather is beautiful?! But, that’s why we have to make the most of the weekends! More about my weekend later…this is actually what I wore for the 4th of July. Although it’s red, white and blue, the color combo is subtle enough that I would wear it on a regular summer day too. I was skeptical at first, but now I’m all for bringing back the denim skirt. A denim skirt goes with everything (this one was last seen here), and it’s perfectly casual. For the 4th, I wore my denim skirt with a fun gingham top. I was actually surprised how flattering this look was, and it was perfect for a low-key night at our best friends’ new place a few blocks away.

This weekend, I went to Long Island to visit my mom and spend time at the pool. To be perfectly honest, I’ve been feeling really restless in the city lately. I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that going to the suburbs for even a little bit would help. It was really great to spend quality time with my mom and enjoy some downtime. I missed my husband and Bones, but I knew that I needed to do this for myself. Now the countdown is on for our trip to Cali in early August!
