Without further ado…
stack
Oh “the stack”. It’s so pretty folded up tight with the paper wrapped around before I voraciously tear into it like a rabid cheetah.

But the treasures it holds!
Such as:
Marilyn Schiff Vara V Cuff
I think we don’t need many words to describe this darling. Keeper for sure.

Just Black Dean Skinny Jean
So, “Just Black” is a Stitch Fix – only brand. And the ladies that blog their gear totally RAVE about these things. And I get it. They’re soft, and just enough stretch where we need it most. Except there are zippers. So torn…

I don’t like zippers at the ankles of my jeans. 🙁
And they bunch since I’m such a shorty:

As Graham said: “they look great on you mom; you can unzip them and cuff them and wear boots, right?” *Swoon*. That boy.
UNDECIDED.

Sweet Rain Toledo V Neck Blouse
I immediately was drawn to the colors. Bright and fun, this shirt felt right for me. And then “the four” chimed in and told me how ridiculous I look. Well nah-nee nah-nee boo-boo, I’m keeping this even if you hate it and I look like a coloring book threw back up the crayons!

19 Cooper Jazz Embroidery Detail Blouse
This shirt is so great in so many ways. Even “the four” told me it looked pretty (typically I don’t have a fashion show for them, but they were home sick with me, too!). I can see this going to work for the rest of the summer and transitioning with a blazer or sweater in the fall. But, there are two hiccups I’m having: notice anything in the middle of the embroidery? And: bra straps. This will require a new bra. I hate bra shopping and Stitch Fix doesn’t offer that service…yet!

Lastly is the Pixley Ellie Elephant Print Blouse. My girl Holly noticed this on my Pinterest inspiration board, and I do love this little blouse. It fits well, as most Pixley items tend to fit me perfectly. But I just…I don’t know. I don’t feel like I’m in LOVE, I’m just kinda in like and will probably ignore the phone calls/texts after the first date. And I really want to call my clothes back after the first date.
