I know we’re all supposed to start committing to fall but since we’re not on the dark side of Labor Day yet, I’m going to keep the summer time posts coming. It’s also still north of 90 degrees outside so it’s hard to fully commit to the “season change” (that’s in quotes because it’s more of a retail manufactured season change at this point in the calendar year).  Yes, I know I wore a felt hat yesterday but now I’m back in poolside attire. That’s because I’m trying to soak up every last second of pool season before the close the gates on it for the year (so so sad).

This tunic was an impulse sale buy from Crewcuts (yup, it’s kids – no shame in my sale game) but I got the biggest size and it works perfectly over both bathing suits and paired with shorts or jeans. I’ve used it frequently the last few weeks for both. Love the bright color, the pom-pom trim and that it’s not too long to be worn as a top which is my biggest pet peeve with most tunics. I know it’s doubtful that anyone is putting a bunch of summer stuff in their shopping carts right now but if you’re like me and make some last minute sale snags to save for next year – there’s a slew of tunics for cheap right now (like this tassel one seen here) and these espadrilles are marked way down and can be worn now and then you can break them back out next spring, like a barely worn present to yourself. Or am I the only one that does that?

It’s only Tuesday but I’m already counting down to the three-day weekend. You know why I love a state sanctioned three-day weekend? Because when you take a day off work, not everyone else does so you’re still getting all kinds of emails and calls but when everyone is off there is a sweet silence from all work obligations. There’s a special kind of joy when everyone is off at the same time (or most everyone – I know all those hardworking medical professionals and a bunch of other people don’t get the day off). Plus we get Monday off and there’s nothing better than starting the week on a Tuesday. Clearly, I’ve thought a lot about this.
