My Summer Drawer

Many, many years ago when money was very tight for me and I rarely had anything extra for incidentals, I started buying one or two things for each coming season a piece at a time. I suppose I could have done it another way and set aside a little money each paycheck and then went shopping and got things all at once, but I didn't have the saving fortitude back then.

Times have changed. I have a little more "spending money" these days, and I'm also a much better saver (thank goodness!), but I still like to buy things for the new season a piece or two at a time.

Since most of us are still bundling up in sweater, coats and scarves, I thought it would be fun to share what I've picked up so far to wear when the weather warms up, the day grow longer, and A/C becomes my best friend. All from JCrew. If I was going to be stranded on a desert island and I could only take three things with me I would take my family, the Bible, and a JCrew store.

I love these tops:

And they will both look great with these.


I get a new pair of white pants, one or two crisp white oxfords and a handful of white T's (short sleeves and tanks) every spring. Last year's get tossed because the dingies have set in.
Oh! And I couldn't resist this lemon-y dress with a little ruffle. I think it would look great with a turquoise bracelet or two.

And last but not least (for today anyway), zebra print flip-flops. Like yoga pants for my feet.

What will you be pulling out of your drawer this spring?
