FEELING NAUTICAL

Urban Outfitters has some sweet vintage looking sailor inspired outfits right now. And since I am officially a boat owner...now seems like the perfect time to expand this genre in my wardrobe.

Oh...and I should mention that most of this stuff is on SALE! For under $40! Wait...does that mean that summer is almost over?!

SUMMER WARDROBE

Lately all I want to wear are caftans and maxi dresses. Unfortunately, almost all of my vintage frocks are of the mini variety. Yup...I pretty much have a closet FULL of teeny tiny 1960s tent dresses. But now I'm craving a longer hemline. Maybe it's living upstate? The proximity to Woodstock? I don't know.

I'm thinking something 2 parts Rhoda Morgenstern and 1 part Mrs. Roper.
