Things I Bought and Loved This Month

June 29, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

I bought a lot of basics this month that have quickly become this season’s go-to pieces with the menswear shirt already earning its keep as a wardrobe workhorse. It’s been such an easy piece to throw on with cutoffs for a bike ride to the biergarten or to keep my arms shielded from the sun at the flea market. I’m sure the cost-per-wear will be down to pennies by the end of the summer. Below you’ll find a list of items I bought this month with information on each.

Wearing: Old Navy top; Old Navy pants; vintage necklace; Staud purse; Ancient Greek sandals

WARDROBE
See this year’s sartorial additions here.

  • Universal Thread long-sleeve boyfriend button-down shirt ($20) – I went up a size in this for an oversize, forgiving fit over my hips. It’s made from a linen-blend fabric that’s perfect for hot days when you want more coverage. I put it through the dryer and the arm length shrank a little bit, but it’s not noticeable if you’re rolling the sleeves anyway. It’s ultra soft after a round in the washer and dryer.
  • A New Day smocked midi dress ($30) – I’m definitely not over smocked-top dresses anytime soon. This one isn’t quite as nicely done on top as a Hill House one, so personally I wouldn’t go without a bra to offer some support and shape. It’s cute otherwise and feels well made.
  • Old Navy luxe rib-knit swing tank ($17) – I bought this top in the “sisal” hue to wear with the wide-leg pants above. It’s a surprisingly chic combination for the brand. You can see it in my snapshot above.
  • Old Navy luxe slub-knit swing tank ($17) – I can’t pass up this pretty rust color when I see it!
  • Old Navy high-waisted linen-blend wide-leg pants ($40) – For your “coastal grandma” vibes, Old Navy has linen wide-leg pants that I’m wearing above. It’s an inexpensive way to try the trend. I went with my regular size. For length referencing, I’m almost 5’7″.
  • Rothy’s sneakers ($125) – I’ll admit that I was skeptical about Rothy’s when I ordered my first pair of slip-on sneakers, but it’s safe to say I’m a fan given that this is my third pair. They’re more comfortable than Vince slip-ons and they’re easy to clean. I go up a half size so I can wear them with no-show socks. Get $20 off your first order with this link! 

HOUSEHOLD

  • Vintage Audubon book print ($12) – I’m admittedly only lukewarm on birds, but I do love a vintage Audubon print. I found this at a flea market last weekend. I’m thinking that it’ll work well with the colors in our powder room — and then I can finally take “after” photos to share with you! Search for other vintage prints here.
  • Vintage glass candle holder from Sweden ($2) – The last thing I need is another candle holder when I so rarely use candlesticks, but this smoky blue glass was too good to pass up.
  • IKEA “Vesken” cart ($15) – this cart is perfect for storing cleaning supplies in the bottom half of our bathroom’s built-in cabinets. It’s slim enough to allow room for additional storage inside the cabinet, too. It’s a great option for any narrow spot you need some extra storage. Given that it’s plastic, though, I’d use it just for hidden storage.

Staying at four Graduate Hotel properties last yea Staying at four Graduate Hotel properties last year solidified my love of the brand. Each is located in a college town and the brand does a wonderful job bringing in each city’s personality by way of thoughtful design finishes and kitschy details. In recent years, the brand has done a summer promotion to attract travelers to university towns during a typically quiet time of the year. This year was no different. For 30 hours in May, Graduate sold $30 rooms for the month of July. (Each person was limited to one booking.) We thought about going somewhere outside of the Midwest, but with a trip to Europe scheduled for this fall, we opted to stay closer to home and choose a location that we could drive to. And with that, a trip to Evanston, IL was on the books.

I didn’t know much about Evanston attractions, but I figured we’d find enough things to fill 48 hours. If not, Chicago was only a short train ride away. I’m happy to report that my low expectations were unfounded and I was won over by the city’s charming gardens, quaint neighborhoods, and access to Lake Michigan. It’s not to say that there’s a lot to do in the city. There isn’t, at least in the summer. But it has cute pockets all over that make a stay in the suburbs worthwhile.

Find a list of what we did in Evanston on the blog. (Use the search bar and type in "Evanston" to find it.)

A few moments from the weekend. A few moments from the weekend.
A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!
