May showers

Off and on since late yesterday we've been having some nice gentle rain showers.  The kind we should have had in April that would be bringing the May flowers.  Instead we're getting May showers and I suppose then we'll have June flowers?  Who knows.  All I know is, it was too wet to take pictures outside this morning, which is too bad, I wanted to show off the colors in this sweater and it's just too hard for you to see it.  It's mint and peach.  And very open weave, so it'll be great for a lightweight pull over this summer.  This is another goodie from my very generous mom when we were trying to spend enough money at the consignment shop for her to use a coupon.  She got herself some nice stuff too, don't worry, she didn't spend it all on me!

 Sweater - Free People, consignment
T-shirt - Maurices, thrifted
Skirt - Old Navy
Shoes - Steve Madden, thrifted
Necklace - Stella and Dot


Speaking of my mom, my dad had a pretty epic idea for a gift for her for Mother's Day.  I'm very excited about it.  I know she doesn't read the blog so I could tell you all what it is, but I think I'll leave some suspense.  I'll give this clue: "an Apple a day keeps the doctor away".  What do you think it is?

  3. It's gotta be related to an iPad or iPhone? That would be pretty epic! That sweater will be a great layering piece all the way through fall.

  13. Sounds like an i-something device! Love the open weave sweater. I'm quickly amassing more and more of them. They're perfect to layer. Sorry about your rain! We keep getting flash storms and rain with the sun out! So weird.
