Pineapple Party!

A few weeks ago I purchased this lovely pleated pineapple skirt from Talbots. It was only after I purchased the skirt that I came to realize that I own a few other pineapple skirts already! Regardless, you can never have too many pineapples! As evidence of this, let me point out that Kate Spade just released their new arrivals for June and the theme for the month seems to be largely centered around, you guessed it, pineapples! This includes a darling pineapple novelty bag that I am very tempted to get. Clearly, the pineapple trend is still going strong for summer!

I paired my new pineapple skirt with these pom pom shoes from Anthropologie. If they look familiar, that's because I also own them in blue with multi-colored pom poms, which I featured here in a previous blog post. In addition to the festive pom poms, one thing that I love about these shoes is that the heel is low and thus the shoes are very comfortable. Now you can understand why I own them in two different colors! As you can see, I like to buy multiples of things, be it pom pom shoes or pineapple skirts!

Pastel Palms and Pineapples

I wore this very colorful and feminine outfit last week to go out with my husband to see the movie Dunkirk, which is an excellent film that follows three separate narratives surrounding the military evacuation that took place in France during World War II. Clearly there was some incongruity between the tone of the outfit and the subject matter of the film! Anyway, it was very hot in the IMAX theater so I'm glad that I dressed in something summery and light to keep me cool. After watching Dunkirk, I realized that things could be much worse than just having less than ideal air conditioning!

I was happy that I was able to snag this pineapple print skirt when it went on sale a few weeks ago at J. Crew. It meets all of my criteria for the perfect skirt: lots of color, comfort (due to the elastic waistband) and pockets. I decided to really play up that tropical theme by throwing on a palm print tee. This outfit makes me feel like I should be vacationing on some tropical beach! Sadly, vacation time is almost over for me. Even though I am lamenting this fact, I keep telling myself that at least it's not as bad as being in the midst of the evacuation of Dunkirk!
