Monday again? This weekend went by all too quickly. I was feeling desperate to get out of NYC, so James and I took an overnight trip to Asbury Park — a little beach town in New Jersey, about 2.5 hours away by train. It was a quick escape, but just the beachy respite I’ve been craving. Lately, I’ve felt this strong desire to break out of my routine — to experience new scenes and try on new looks. This shirt dress (which is 50% off today only!) is definitely a deviation from the easy, swing dresses I’ve been wearing lately. It’s so different from my vibe as of late, but at the same time, so me. It also comes in pink and black or white eyelet and they’re all half off today only. A new adventure and a huge sale — not a bad way to start off the weekend, am I right?

The official start of summer is just days away and I’m aching for an adventure. With the coziest cami and a punchy pair of printed shorts, I just need somewhere fitting to go. The honeymoon is still a few months out, but I’m feeling the need to escape the city pronto … so James and I are taking a quick getaway down to Asbury Park in New Jersey. Have you ever been? It’s going to be our first experience “down the shore” and I can’t wait to explore.

Around the Waist

June 17, 2015

Socialite tank dress (only $30!) // Madewell oversized chambray boyshirt (on sale!) (c/o) // Ann Taylor necklace

Sole Society ‘Joesy’ block heel sandal (more sizes here) (c/o)

My favorite thing about getting out of NYC is seeing it from afar. If you follow me on Snapchat (username: skirttherules), you saw that I was in Brooklyn on Sunday evening to watch my husband play soccer (and maybe to take blog photos… #multitasking). Williamsburg is only one stop out of the city, but it feels like a world away. Things are a little quieter and a lot more laid-back, so I followed suit and embraced those off-duty vibes.

Shop Tank Dresses:

I wish I could say I was cool and always tie a button-up shirt around my waist with ease, but I’m not. I haven’t rocked this look since the 90’s, but have been meaning to give it a whirl again. I recently got this turquoise tank dress for summer, which I love because it’s so soft and simple! Still though, something felt like it was missing so I grabbed the coziest chambray shirt in my closet and voilà — extra cool points and an extra layer to keep me warm when the summer breeze rolls through.
