Friday Five Under $55

  • Isn’t this bucket bag darling? It’s a cost-conscious way to try the trend at just $36. It also comes in red and grey.
  • An easy pull-over top. (With my broken foot, all I want to do is wear things that are loose or have an elastic waist. These crutches are really hindering my style game.)
  • Canvas espadrilles. White probably isn’t the most practical, but they also come in red.
  • A nautical bracelet.
  • Linen shorts with a drawstring waist. Dave purchased these for me last weekend in the Twin Cities in “Aztec rust.” I love them. They’re easy to get on and off with my crutches and they still look cute when they’re a little wrinkled (because, you know, linen will do that). If you’re between sizes, go with the smaller one. They stretch a bit.

  4. Broken bones are the worst! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Love your 5 items, especially the bucket bag, espadrilles and linen shorts – all three scream SUMMER to me.

    • Thanks! I keep going back and forth between “I can do this! A broken foot is no big deal!” to sobbing. Haha. It’s hard to adjust to! (I think a post on what to expect when fracturing your foot is in order. I didn’t expect so many obstacles so soon.)

  6. I totally need to resurrect the knot bracelet I DIYed years ago. Or possibly make a new one since I recall it was kind of dirty… Still haven’t caved to the bucket bag, but $36 is very tempting…

    • Haha. Yeah! I wore a dress on my birthday when we were in the Twin Cities. It ended up being cold and windy and I was annoyed with keeping my dress down all afternoon, so I needed a wardrobe change at J.Crew!
