The weather has finally improved, but prior we had nothing but rain rain and more rain, so I was simply recycling spring outfits you have already seen, or I just plain forgot to take a photo! But, other than my new white jean jacket, there's not much to see here either! Kind of uninspired, no?

I have been living in my vest. It's great to cover up the extra 5 lbs of flab I'm still trying to work off. The scale says it is really only 5 lbs, but what a difference it makes. I am finding about half my summer tops and dresses no longer fit - they are too tight in the shoulders and chest.

And vest with this tie-neck top:

This is actually a new combo - I love how the tie neckline goes with the vest. And this top has gotten a lot of mileage; you may remember me wearing it in the winter with a cobalt sweater?

With new ATL white jean jacket - which I'm *loving* - since it got chilly at night:

Here's what I wore to the movies, after a long day at the beach:

This dress is my official beach dress. For the beach I wore it over my bathing suit with sandals and a headband. The dress looks fine in the photo, but up close it has a lot of pills now, which is why i reserve it for beachwear! To go to the movies I simply changed out of my suit, added a cami and a necklace, different shoes to cover my toes, and added the leggings for warmth in the AC.

You may notice I did get my haircut. It really doesn't look a whole lot different in these photos, but it is much shorter in the back now, and he toned down the highlights just a tad. It's also a lot easier to style.

I am thinking that I would love to get a white vest for the summer. Any suggestions on that, send them my way!
