So, I really haven't done much since I got back from my trip. Therefore, this post will mostly be looking at my outfits from the past month.
The day after I got back, I took it easy because I had to get up at 4:30 Am to make my flight, and I was dealing with a three-hour time difference. Luckily, the flights were flawless, and I made it back to California right on time. This is what I wore:
Fever jeans, one of the tops that I got in Savannah, and a blue and white warm up jacket from The Gap. We just walked the dogs, and I did an official workout for the first time in three weeks. I was very sore the next day, but luckily it only lasted one day. I never really felt any jet lag or problems from the time change.
On Mother's Day, we went over to my MIL, Mimi's house. We brought Kentucky Fried Chicken. My FIL, Win, had been sick, but he is doing much better, so we sat in their backyard and ate our chicken. I wore black slacks and a tiered chiffon top from Ann Taylor. I accessorized it with black costume jewelry.
Nathan, Kim and the grandkids sent me these bath bombs for Mother's Day. We talked on FaceTime that night. They had lightning strike near their house. I can't imagine how frightening that would be!
On May 12th, my Ipsy bag came. Inside from left to right:
1) Half Caked Duality I Eye and Cheek Palette
2) Purlisse AHA, PHA, and Kiwi Enzyme Flash Facial Exfoliating Mask
3) Benefit 24 hour Brow Setter
4) Elf Suntouchable Whoa Glow Sunscreen
5) Maison Louis Marie Eau de Parfum No 14 Leila
This is what I wore on May 12th to do some grocery shopping. I also had a ton of laundry from my vacation that needed washing. My pants are from Melloday. I wore them with a very old yellow tank top, and a jacket by Draper and Damon's.
I finally hung this series of photos of Doc as a baby. Mimi gave it to me last Mother's Day, so it only took me a year to nail it on the family photo wall.
On May13th, Doc had a doctor's appointment, so I just did some errands. I wore the Indian embellished top that I got in Savannah, and white slacks from White House Black Market that are just a bit too big.
Look at the same slacks two days later! I just rolled the waistband over and that tightened them up. I also washed them in hot water and put them in the dryer. My top is from Ann Taylor, and it's a very subtle plaid. I went to the Bank of America to do some in-person business.
On May 18th, we went to the Antique Swap Meet at the Veteran's Stadium in Long Beach. I got a few things there, but I will show you as I wear them. For the trip, I wore a linen striped skirt from Ann Taylor, and the J Crew top that I got in Savannah.
On May 19th, I went to Trader Joe's to get some of their foods that I have been craving. I wore a pant set from Temu. I got this necklace at the swap meet for $5.
Or friend Harry showed up at Heron Harbor, so we got to see him while we were walking the dogs. He is majestic!
On May 20th, Doc had another yearly doctor appointment, so I went to CVS. I have two pair of printed yellow slacks, and I want to donate one of them. This is the first pair, and they are the keepers. My lace top is actually secondhand, from Sears. That's a name that hasn't been around for quite some time!
This beautiful Mexican top is another swap meet find. The vendor sold clothes by the pound - $10 a pound. I got two Mexican tops and a two-piece skirt set for $7.50. These kinds of tops are very in style this year, and the prices are crazy! I forget that I am from San Diego, and we used to drive across the border and get these clothes for pennies - that's why they seem so expensive now.
Pandi fell asleep with her paw on my cup holder.
On May 23rd, I wore the top from the two-piece skirt set with some jeans. I feel that both the top and the skirt might be too much when worn together, but I'll try that in the future.
That same day, I wanted to get some plants and gardening supplies at Lowes. I had a few minutes to kill before Lowe's opened, so I went by the Salvation Army to see if they had any pie plates. I wanted to get redwood bark and potting soil since it was 5 for $10. And I found this nice Apple Pie plate.
I also picked up a pair of white pants to replace the ones that are too big. I found these Paige Jeans. They were $3.50 and they retail for $219. They fit well. This argyle sweater is from Le Chateau which is a Canadian brand.
I spent the next day or two fixing up the front and back yards. The porch is beautiful - it looks like something out of Disneyland.
On Memorial Day, we went over to Win and Mimi's, and once again, we had KFC. I wore the skirt from the two-piece set, along with a tank sweater from Cache. The skirt has a seam that didn't look good under the sweater, even though the colors match perfectly. Maybe a belt could fix that?
On May 27th, Doc had an appointment with an ENT doctor. It was down in Irvine, so I drove him. I wore a red eyelet sundress from Ann Taylor, with a black belt from Kate Spade. My necklace came from the swap meet, another $5 goodie.
May 28th was just a dog-walking and workout day. I wore these dark pink pants that are actually scrubs, and a top from One Clothing. Our neighbors had an anniversary party, so we stopped by to congratulate them.
Pandi sleeps in some very strange positions.
On June1st, we went by to visit Win and Mimi. Doc goes over every couple of days, and I usually go over with him. I wore my Fever jeans and another plaid vest top from Cooperative. My belt is J Crew, and my lapis necklaces and gold slippers are from Temu.

On June 3rd, I went to lunch with a friend from the hospital. I finally wore this dress that I got last summer. I have taken it on a couple of trips, including my last one, but didn't wear it. It got its moment in the sun.
Yesterday was another chill dog and exercise day. The only excitement was going to Trader Joe's. I got my favorite garlic gondola bread boats and these three kalanchoe plants. I had seen them last time I was there, and they were about half of the price as the ones at Lowe's.
I wore this outfit that I got a few months ago at EcoTown. Both pieces were on the $3 rack. The pants are a Spanish brand, and the top is by Etcetera. My shoes are Temu.
Jacki has finally matured to the point where she doesn't dig up everything in the yard, so I replanted the pots around my She Shed. It looks much nicer. I'm glad that she is past that point in her life.
Today, I wore the other yellow print pants. They were going to be donated because they are too baggy, but I ironed a hole right through them, so I tossed them. My blouse is from Ro + De, and my belt bag is Kate Spade. I am addicted to listening to the Karen Read trial, so I wore the belt bag on our dog walk. I predict another hung jury.
So that's about all for now. I have some plans for June, so maybe there will be a little more excitement to report next time!
