too tired to sleep

Indigo Rein jeans and Angie kimono top, Macy's

     It wasn't until I started to write this up that I realized how similar this outfit is to my latest post. Oops. I suppose this is my spending-the-day-in-A/C summer uniform.
      School started last week, and I was so glad that it was a short week - the kids started Wednesday. I forgot how exhausting the start of school can be! I recuperated by sleeping in a bit on Saturday and fitting in an afternoon nap, too. My goal is to figure out a nighttime schedule that include a little work time, relaxing time, and gets me to bed at a decent hour! I'm pretty sure I have restless legs syndrome, and getting overtired kicks off a vicious cycle - the more tired I get, the harder it is to fall asleep quickly. I want to avoid that, because I don't want to spend every weekend sleeping vs. doing fun things.

     Teachers could get 30% off at Savers this weekend, so I stopped in and did some determined browsing. I wanted to add a cool, lightweight dress or two to my work wardrobe, but didn't have any luck finding something I liked enough to buy. I did find a few shirts that I can wear to work, so it wasn't an entirely unsuccessful trip.

aaand we're back

Angie kimono top, Macys
same ol' jeans, Ross
Merona tee, Target

    The first day back after three weeks of break can be tough, so I went with something uncomplicated for yesterday's outfit - a tee and jeans dressed up with my new kimono top. I scored this top for $11.99 during the Cyber Monday specials, and got it for free, thanks to some gift cards I discovered in my wallet.

      
     I hesitated about buying yet another kimono top, but my rationalization was that it was a different color, print and cut than the other ones I own. What's nice about this top is that it's tan with black crochet trim and has navy and red in the print, which makes it easy to pair with other items. Another rationalization - this is shorter than my other kimonos,which might make it fun to style (belted?) with a dress. It also looks cute peeking out under certain jackets.
    What is a clothing item or accessory that you think you might own a few too many of? I'd love to hear that I'm not the only one who collects pretty things ...
