bACK to Sweater Season

Sigh.

It’s here isn’t it.

Fall.

With only three days until October, I’m finally starting to accept that my sweet, sweet summertime has passed. An apple & pumpkin-themed potluck with some girlfriends helped soften the blow a tiny bit. A new pair of sneaks has too. And the drop in temperatures means I’ve at least been able to pull out this Ellsworth & Ivey Nantucket sweater I picked up on island this summer.

{I’m pretty sure any long-sleeve garment with “Nantucket” stitched across the front is actually meant for summer sunset sails as opposed to wearing in a artificially-lit office but let’s be honest my name isn’t Sarah Vickers so I have to wait until September.}

Off to pick up a pumpkin spice latte I suppose.

Hues of Blues {Labor Day Sales 2016!}

by Leave a Comment

Lol so August happened.

Maybe another day I’ll share a recap of the insanity that was the summer of 2016. Maybe by November.
Maybe not.

In the MEANTIME, let’s talk holiday markdowns. Labor Day Weekend sales are tricky. Tricky like how we’re expected to appear our most fit in the summer when reality these are the three most gluttonous months of the year #hotdogscheeseburgersroséfroyoamirite?

But these are arguably the most viscous markdowns of the year, and yet we’re about to dive straight into nine months of winter, so a new cold-shoulder-fringe-pom-tassel crop top isn’t high on the must-have list.

I went into sale season with the intention of being somewhat strategic {you’re welcome, husband}…what can I get at least another month or two of use out of before packing away until next spring? Here are a handful of my sneaky finds; aqua is the new camel when it’s 70% off y’all.

DON’T forget the extra markdowns–these don’t all come knocking often. A Tuckernuck sale? Say whaaat?!
