I hope that this is the last part of my summer casual saga, with happy ending hopefully. I am off work today, but had to drop off my daughter to school this morning. Well, just next to the school there is a big mall and I decided ti go in. I rarely shop in B&M stores because I almost never have time for just myself. I treated my self with nice cup of tee while waiting for stores to open. And then braced myself and started looking and trying things on, concentrating on bottoms. I hit a jack pot in Zara with 4 items. One of them is a wild card skirt. I just hope that Zara did not have a skinny mirrors and that I will not look huge in it once I tried it at home. Other things a pretty basics, but I feel much more me in them. There is only one thing that I was not sure about and I left it in the store. It was an olive linen shirt dress, beautifully made, heavy linen, on the expensive side for me (not Zara obviously). I just wished it was longer. They had the same dress in many colors - white, navy, taupe, light blue, white and blue stripes etc but I was drawn to this olive color. What do you think? Is it too short or can I get away with it? Is this maybe tunic and should not be worn as a dress? And is the olive best color for me out of those available? Dress like that would round up my new casual collection nicely.
