July Wish List

[1]

  • Classic 501 Levis: All those photos of Jane Birkin have left me searching for the perfect pair of vintage beat-up Levis. The thrift stores back in Alabama were always overflowing with these but they seem nearly impossible to find here in PA.
  • Cheap Monday dress: I first spotted this on the Urban Outfitters site then on the Candystore Collective site, but both of those stores have since sold out. Thank goodness for Google because I was able to track it down in another online shop. It's such a simple dress but I think that's what I love about it.
  • AA stripe one piece: I want to wear this under high waisted skirts (or perhaps those Levis if ever get my hands on a pair). I think the stripes give it a cool Parisian girl vibe.
  • Black silk dress: I know I'll never be able to afford all of those Lyell pieces I love so much but this black silk dress could do in a pinch. I love the cut-out details around the neckline.
  • Built By Wendy dress: Speaking of Parisian cool! I think this dress is just about perfect. I'd love it wear it with flats and a pony-tail all summer then tights and tall boots come fall.
  • Sheer back cardigan: It's not quite fair putting this on my wish list since it's already sold out at Anthropologie. I fell in love with it upon seeing it in person on a trip to Philly and looked it up online when I got home. It was super soft with a sheer chiffon panel in the back. It's one of those pieces that's going to haunt me!
  • Sunny yellow brogues: I'm always a fan of oxfords, wearing them with skirts, dresses, pants, whatever! These are made even better in a pretty sunny shade of yellow.
  • Straw fedora: After pining for a boater hat at the beginning of spring, I finally had the chance to try one on when I ran across one at a vintage store. I looked in the mirror and instantly burst into laughter. They're so cute on other people, but just not for me. Perhaps living in the middle of Amish country ruined them for me. I see too many of them being worn by farmers pulled behind work horses.

    In thinking about stocking my wardrobe with classic basics I keep coming back to stripes. Something about them seem both fresh and timeless. They seem perfectly all-American and yet somehow the epitome of French chic.

  • Must Shop: Floral Dresses
    I really, really, really want a floral dress. One of those dresses I can rock out now and pair with tights and sweaters to transition to cooler weather. Perhaps if the teeth-thing works out and I gift myself $100 to play with, I'll get one? Here are some of my faves:
  • Chambray Galore
    My new found love for chambray led me on an internet wide search for dresses. Much to my surprise, it turned up quite a few really cute options. I was picturing finding lots of elementary school teacher type jumpers and little girl sailor dresses but was happy to see many more modern options. Here are a few of my favorites dresses...

  • Headbands
    The only downside I'm seeing to the weather finally warming up is I'm going to have to put away my wool hats. I've become a bit addicted to wearing them and quite honestly feel a little naked walking out of the house with out something perched on my head. I'm trying to find a good way to transition into my spring wardrobe and still keep hold of my hats.
