{outfit} Black Betty

I wore this on Friday to go shopping with Lydia. We both had the day off and what better to do than shop til we drop!  We started at Starbucks where I found my new Summer drink - a Very Berry Hibiscus.  Next we headed to Coco's on the Green where I was a bad girl and bought a black Marc Jacobs top ($10) and a Salvatore Ferragamo suede skirt ($10) and a gorgeous opal and sapphire ring ($24.)  Next we quickly stopped at Sarah's Cupboard Thrift shop, I didn't find anything there but it's always fun to look around!  Finally we stopped at The Cedar Chest where I found a beautiful Anthropologie dress. Unfortunately it was $59 even though the tag said the person paid 29.99 (on sale from $189)...UGH! Oh well, maybe I'll come across it again somewhere else.

The day was beautiful, nice and hot but with a breeze. Definitely great Summer weather!  I brought out my new Zara shorts for the first time, they're so much fun!  I went with a monochromatic look for their first outing.

  2. I can't believe they jacked up the price on that dress...and left the actual price tag on! Also, great skirt - I really, really love it.
