I don’t normally shop at Cato…

However my daughter does and when she was looking for items 

I happened to see this lovely sweater on clearance for just $7.99

I am also sporting new linen bottoms you can find here from Jane.com

Wearing a size 8 these days, I ordered these pants in a medium and they fit tighter than I would like.  

I love this sweater and am excited to have mint jeans and blue bottoms to pair this with as well as red-orange jeans and of course white, so I know this will go well into fall.  

I may even style it with a long sleeve top underneath to extend it’s usefulness 

If you notice, I am holding my Isaac Mizrahi  Wallet that actually has a pocket 

that fits my Sony Experia Z3V phone.

I went rogue today for the GYPO challenge which was to pair a bright shorts or bottom with a white lace top. I couldn’t wait to wear my new sweater as it came in before the challenge started and it’s a 3 week challenge.  

Dear Readers if you haven’t checked out Catos , I highly recommend their clearance section where my daughter has snagged some great deals.   

Gratitude

I am grateful that my son headed to near Washington DC today to meet up with some of his college friends for a fun day! 

I am grateful for a day with just my youngest, I think we both have missed our time with the kids coming home from college.  

I am grateful for a nice conversation with my daughter who is back in Boston and was heading out to her apartment pool for the day. (she’s an introvert , so this is a good thing)

I am grateful that my daughter chose the internship that would best prepare her for her PHD despite really wanting the other one she was offered. 

I am grateful for a nice walk today with my youngest  to Burlington, where I scored some Father’s Day presents and then we stopped by Zeroes sub shop for dinner. 

I am grateful that my husband had an early day and a successful one!
