As for the ensemble that still managed to get wet: I tied a cotton button up shirt from H & M (pilfered from mom’s closet) over a Lands End Canvas cotton sailboat print dress (last seen here), and threw on my conveniently waterproof Target wedges and Coach bag.

As for what I was actually re-rocking all day, I wore a dress from Lands’ End Canvas (it’s perfect for a humid summer: cotton, washable, breathable), with a navy blue leather Ferragamo belt.
For a meeting in the morning, I paired it with Aerosole pleather bow espadrilles, my well-loved Gryphon for Target bag, the Avs, and Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Peach with Trish McEvoy lipstick in Coral.
To teach a financial education class in the afternoon, I slipped on metallic linen Isaac Mizrahi for Target sling-backs with the Avs.
And for figure drawing class in the evening, I went comfortable with my snakeskin-print Birkenstocks, dad’s old backpack, and a mix of Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Fire & Ice with the Trish McEvoy lipstick in Coral.
And I do mean ‘pining’ – with Ashlea living a billion states away, I pine for her unendingly surprising way with words and style. As my former roommate and once most constant closet playmate, her originality and humor led to some vintage sketches like “Bellagio Curator” “From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Lisa R. Birnbach“, “Catwalk of Shame“, “Cup, Saucer, Fresh Pencils“, and “Twenty Something Freak, Middle School Geek“. Seeing her this weekend confirmed the fact that some things never change with old friends.
