Casual Weekend - Fun in the Sun

This weekend was our second annual Winesday Women lunch. Same as last year, we sat out on the grassy patio at a local restaurant/brew pub and drank sangria and beer until our men joined us. It was fabulous.

I wore this cool Armani Exchange top again:
Vizzini the Photo-bomber, the Mad Bomber What Bombs at Midnight!

I'd forgotten about these pinstriped shorts (last seen over a year ago). I was fully sunblocked but took my stripey cardi (last seen here) to wear in case of a breeze:
I also went to WW in the morning prior, so it was good coverup. Vizzini comes in for another bomb!

Megan demanded a close-up of the metal strips last time I wore this top. Here you go:
Cool, eh?

I walked through Chinatown on the way down:
I love all the little grocery vendors.

This is a shot looking out onto the water at the pub:
Lots of boats around and seaplanes overhead.

Today, I only got dressed to go for lunch with L and get groceries:
A little dozy after all that sun and sangria the day before! Same stripey cardi, 'cause who doesn't repeat stuff?

  1. I love the Winesday tradition! Baby Vizzini is growing up - what a sweetie. I love your A/X top and striped cardi.

    Come on over to Visible Monday and post a pic, if you have time - you always have a great visible, pulled together look.

  2. I've got an almost-identical striped cardi but never thought of tying it. Great idea!

  3. That tank is so cool, I love the metal bits! Definitely a great way to pump up a basic.

    I love street shops/roadside shops. We usually have a number of roadside stands in the summers selling fresh fruits and veggies. We've grown many of our own this year though.

    The striped cardigan is a perfect cover-up. Who cares if you were it twice in row, that doesn't make it any less awesome.

  4. I understand why you repeated the striped cardi- it's a fantastic piece! (And you styled it differently each time- so it had separate looks!)
    I just love that drapey fabric that so many things are made of right now- mmmmm... soft....

  5. Really we all repeat! And when you love something--you just gotta repeat. Love that Armani top too!

  7. I adore the striped cardi over the sequins!

    When I lose so much weight that I am practically naked, I'm bringing a big pile of $ and begging you to take me shopping in your town!
