wearing lately: summer weekend suitcase v. 2

Last weekend we were up at my parents' cottage again, and since my mini summer capsule was so perfect for our 4th of July trip to the beach - not to mention that I hadn't come close to wearing all the outfit combos possible in it - I just decided to pack the same bag again this time around!

Above is a reminder of what was in it, and below are the outfits I put together on beach weekend #2 (see the first round out outfits here). It was a bit hotter and sunnier this weekend, which was fabulous for lots of reading on the porch (in earshot of a napping toddler) but still cool enough in the mornings/evenings with the lake breeze and a couple of big storms rolling through that I was glad again for my layers.

My book matched so nicely with my Saturday morning going into town for groceries and browsing the local bookstore outfit; by that evening (after spending all afternoon in the sun in my bathing suit during a great Hendrik nap time) I had moved on to a new book with a happy hour and dinner on the porch outfit to match. The last outfit was my reluctant have to come in from the sun and pack up to go home look, complete with Peter's old Cubs hat to mask the lovely (not) cottage day hair.

Now I think we're home for a couple of weekends, but I'm already scheming what my next mini weekend capsule is going to be for August and Labor Day weekend!
