Summer Get Away

Summer Get Away

We have been having a wonderful week with my mom in town.  We went to the zoo, downtown, botanic gardens and we are eating out every night.  It's a staycation of sorts and enjoying every moment that she's here.  This weekend we are off for a resort weekend at the lake with friends and I'm thinking about what to pack.  This is a perfect ensemble for relaxing by the pool and hanging at the lake.  The skirt can go from day to night and I love the embroidered detail.  My favorite sunnies are Ray Bans and I love these soft blue lenses.  How are you spending the last weeks of summer?  We are soaking in every moment.
