Today, sharing some recent purchases with you – as I said, I’ve been shopping (and returning, as I’ve had many failures). Here are some of the items I’ve picked up lately – would love to hear yours!

First is this Everlane tank, which I am pleased with. Maybe because I’ve been looking for a tank like this for ages! It is a super soft cotton, the perfect length (just hitting the hip, and easy to tuck in), and with a slight scoop neck where you can adjust the depth with the buttons. I ventured “out” of my normal neutrals zone by getting this chartreuse color and I like it but now I’m thinking I should have gotten black. I always think this about black.

Next is this Ulla Johnson dress, now on sale for 50% off, which I just posted about in the last weekend update. I said I would review this and so here we are! This is one of those rare bohemian styles that works on more petite girls. I love boho florals so really like this dress HOWEVER I will say it is less favored by my husband. I also can’t figure out if it makes me look short. Its all cotton, lined in the skirt, with some great tassel details.

This classic Ralph Lauren hat. The little polo horse brings up memories of high school. And I wear a baseball hat multiple times a day – they are my hat of choice for comfort, though I often wear wide brimmed if we’re going on a walk, to protect my neck. Finally ordered as it is 30% off for Friends/Family.

On the kid’s end, this picture encyclopedia. This book is amazing! There are SO many facts and the kids find every single page fascinating. I’m in awe of these DK books. The one “bad” thing is that these require a high amount of parent participation. Oh and I’m always afraid one is going to drop theirs on another’s foot.

And then, finally, also for the kids, these cotton masks. I’ll update on how they work out! I’ve made several kid mask orders and none have been perfect – I want a few for each kid so I always have them ready to go in the car, in my bag, when we’re out and about. It’s hard to find the “toddler” size.

To that end: if you have kid (or adult) mask recs, please share!
