It sure doesn't take much to make me a happy camper. I went out with some of my colleagues last night. At first, I wasn't thrilled at the choice in location, but the little Irish pub called Merlin's Rest turned out to be a nice treat. They serve Pimms! Yummy! What's not to love about an adult beverage filled with strawberries, cucumbers, green apple and orange slices and fresh mint? I fell in love with this drink when I was in London years ago. It's just such a hassle to mix a single drink at home. I could have stuck a straw in the pitcher and sucked the whole thing down myself. Easy to guess where I will be on hot, lazy evenings this summer! : )
Today I went to J.Crew to return my (neon) jewelry and to exchange my Sperry Top-Siders--one of the grommets came out on the first wear! I really didn't see a whole lot of things that I wanted to try on, but my hubby was with, so I didn't feel like I could take my time. I looked at the pink and navy color block cardigan that I love online. It was already sold out in my size at that location, so I didn't try it on. My thoughts? Beautiful colors, but such a light-weight fabric for the price! I did grab a cream/black striped tee and, as luck would have it, someone had returned a Schoolboy blazer in tipped linen in my size. Fell in love with it as soon as I tried it on, so that came home with me, too.
After leaving the mall, we stopped at a few thrift stores. I bought only one item: a pair of J.Crew chino shorts in that super light (shell?) pink color from maybe two or three summers ago...in my size...with the tags still attached...for $7.99. Yippee! At the cash register, I learned that they were an additional 50% off. $3.99. Score! Now it just needs to get warm enough to wear them!
I'm thinking about going to another mall tonight; I hate sitting on the couch on the weekends, even though it is abysmally cold and rainy here today--perfect for snuggling on the couch under the blankets with my mini dachshunds. Maybe there's time to do both!
