J Crew Seychelle Maxi Dress love

After seeing this post on Slastena's amazing blog, About All and Nothing At All , I decided to wear one of my favorite dresses that I haven't seen a lot of buzz about online (although I have no idea why). This was a retail only maxi dress and the minute I saw it, I had to try it on which quickly turned into taking it home. It is unlike any recent maxi dresses that J Crew has released and I love how it is so light, breezy and boho-chic for summer. This is a size 6 and it runs TTS with adjustable straps that button in the back.

I am wearing them with the Olympia Suede Wedges that are showing as $149.99 online but were marked down to $59.99 in stores. Crazy pricing discrepancy. I really didn't like the look of these until I put them on my feet and that changed everything. I had to size up a half size in these.

And here is what I wore yesterday. I didn't get an IRL picture because I was so exhausted by the time I got home with all the kids from church that I just threw on sweats and curled up on the couch. I am on the mend now though.....yippee!!

I have had a few weak moments. A cardigan I love popped back up, new LOFT arrivals for Fall are coming in and I am so absolutely in love with one jacket but guess what? I still haven't shopped.

I wore this to work last night. What? I know, I felt bad wearing all J Crew to work but it was a fun day and I didn't feel like completely changing for work. Plus, I knew it would be a mellow night after the 40% off sale had ended and the holiday weekend was over.

During the day I had on the top with my weekend jeans. We had a picnic at the lake, fed some ducks and played on the playground. I love how the toddlers are are such best friends that even when in a duck feeding frenzy they end up gravitated to one another. Next month, Christopher will have lived with us for two years and he and Cooper have a relationship as if they were twins (even though they are three months apart and look nothing alike). They have their own words, inside jokes and are attached at the hip at all times.
