Today’s outfit consisted of those same white flats, the Current Eliott ripped jeans, the navy bell-sleeved cardi, and the navy and white patterned blouse. For most of the day the belt wasn’t included with the outfit–why? Because it wasn’t in my possession.

I could make excuses for breaking the “no shopping rule” and I will but I won’t. When I visit my family one of the ways we bond is through shopping, and my younger sister the deal hunter really wanted to go shopping this weekend. And I really did need more accessories, so it was worth the price. If you really wanted to know what did me in, it was the floppy hat. The floppy hat, I tell you! The white sitting on the desk next to me in the pictures. It just called to me from the Target racks (where I incidentally found the belt too) and I had to get it. Floppy sun hats that fit my head are so difficult to find.

Belt, Target; Glasses, Marc Jacobs

I could say I feel guilty about the purchases, but I don’t. I’m not sure I have the “guilt” gene (okay, I do but not in regards to clothing purchases).

Visiting my parents also meant I got to pick up my glasses from Costco and get my favorite black ones fixed (a screw was loose on one side). This white/gold rimmed pair is so cute! The weather has been particularly nasty down at my parent’s house, and I managed to forget all of my tights at home (while packing all of my 30 for 30 clothing) so I couldn’t wear my shorts or skirts today. Hence the pants. I have a feeling I should have chosen less skirts and more pants.
