For those of you not from the Midwest or somewhere else with a cold climate, I should explain that here, 48 degrees and sun in January or February is the equivalent of 80 degrees. We frolic around without coats, open our sun roofs, and go out for froyo. (Actually, I didn’t go out for froyo last Sunday…what a horrible oversight. Won’t happen again.)

I figured I wouldn’t get to wear this top (which is called the “Sarah” by the way) until April, but when the opportunity presented itself last weekend, I took it. It was nice having a Sunday Funday with actual sun. We went out for brunch, went to the movies (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is incredible), did a little shopping, then did what all hip young couples do on the weekend: hit up Trader Joe’s to get ingredients for our cauliflower crust pizzas. #TURNT

One weekend last month we were killing time at the mall before a movie. It turns out I’m really good at killing time, but it also costs me a bunch of money. I managed to get 2 sweaters, a t-shirt, and earrings from 2 different stores in the course of about 20 minutes. But come on, how could I not get this top?! Stripes AND bows, all together in a nice cotton sweater for my sensitive skin, and under $60?! It’s a good thing we were on a strict timeline, because the high of finding this gem could have gotten me through another hour of shopping. So when you look at it that way, it was really a very restrained and frugal shopping excursion.
