Centered Lace

Around my college graduation, almost a decade and a half ago {how was 2010 that long ago?}, I discovered this simple blouse and fell in love instantly with the delicate lace down the front and back of the top. The hint of skin from the lace made it feel so subtly sexy, meaning I wore it constantly at twenty-one, but, by my twenty-second birthday, the blouse had been relegated to the back of my closet. I started reincorporating it into my wardrobe several summers ago, wearing it with denim or a simple skirt, for weekends spent berry picking, wine tasting, or just lounging at home. I threw it on recently, with a perky ponytail, sunnies, and two layered necklaces from our trip to Juneau in 2015, for an impromptu ice cream run on the warmest of afternoons.

A Dose of Pretty

And somehow, summer rolled in this week as we bid adieu to the springtime. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the seasons go by. And while I am always excited for the autumn {and all the rain, golden leaves, crisp air, and excitement for the holidays}, I am constantly reminding myself to be mindful and enjoy each moment. Nostalgia, after all, is such an interesting thing. We long for the past, never taking into consideration how someday we will long for this exact moment. This weekend I plan to head to our local observatory to learn more about the stars and planets. I hope you have a great one as well!

Editor’s Note: I’ll be taking the next six weeks off for the Fourth of July + some summer travel. I hope you have a great one, and see you back here on August 8, 2023 with brand new content! x
