A Late Spring Evening

Ahhh it’s finally hydrangea season and mine are in full bloom! They seem to get bigger every year and this year they are bursting with blooms! I’ve been cutting them and putting them everywhere in the house! It’s so nice to have fresh flowers from your own yard and hydrangeas brighten every room. My gardenia is also dripping with buds and I’m sure it won’t be long until I can start cutting those as well. The scent of a gardenia in a vase by the bed is like nothing else!

This post really isn’t about the hydrangeas but they certainly do make a beautiful backdrop for pictures!

It’s no secret that I love the Maren pant from Spartina 449 and the prints just keep getting better. I own the Maren in several other patterns as well as the denim and the white and reach for them often! The fit is perfect for me…I think they look tailored and go with many of my tops.

The beautiful embroidered top was love at first sight and is so good with the pants! I wore this outfit to dinner last night after taking photographs and got so many compliments! It really is a perfect summer outfit!

I didn’t feel that the top needed much in the way of accessories, so I wore a couple of bracelets, and gold earrings from Julie Vos along with raffia sandals from Marc Fisher to complete the look. Summer dressing is supposed to be easy and this look is so easy, but still makes a statement!

It was around 7 pm when these pictures were taken and the light was amazing! It’s really the best time to take pictures right now…

When I tell you that I love the clothes from Spartina…I’m really not kidding! They are so wearable…which to me means comfortable, yet stylish and fun, and…they’re so well priced! I reach for my Spartina pieces constantly and even though these pieces were gifted to me, I still purchase from the website because I absolutely love everything! I just ordered this dress and can’t wait for it to arrive!

Things are finally really heating up around here and I’m not mad about it! I’ve been getting out for dog walks and looking forward to going to the beach on Wednesday for an extended weekend! I was going to today, but wanted to stay home and finally put the house back together! It feels good to clear out the clutter that we’ve been living with for the past months! I’ve been making regular trips to the thrift store and slowly clearing out! It’s amazing how much you accumulate over 20 years!

I hope your week is off to a good start!

Thanks so much for reading today!
