Sunglasses and lunch

san jose street style

wearing: sunglasses c/o Sunglass Hut / summer lipstick / white drop earrings / black eyelet sleeve top (under $50) / chain pouch handbag / bead bracelets / gold cuff / summer nail polish / snake buckle belt / baggy jeans / sneakers /

How fabulous are these limited edition, 50th anniversary collection sunglasses from Sunglass Hut! If you haven’t seen this iconic collection yet, you can check it out at SunglassHut.com. There are so many beautiful styles!

I wore these sunglasses out to lunch with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun. It was a mild day, with a little bit of fog on the bay. We enjoyed walking around Santana Row, and eating lunch at EMC Seafood & Raw Bar. Dawn snapped all these photos for me with the exception of the bottom right picture. My husband snapped that one later in the week when we went to dinner at King’s Seafood. Yes, I wore this top twice. You know you’ve done it! But I digress. . .

Can we take a minute to chat about these jeans? They are supposed to be wide leg, and they look baggier than they are. That is because I lost weight! Yay! My doctor wants me to get my BMI down to a healthy level, so I have been on a mission to lose twenty pounds. At the time these photos were taken, I was down ten pounds. As I write this post, I am down twelve pounds! So, needless to say, all of my clothing is getting very baggy right now! I want to finish my weight lose before investing in clothing, so you may see a few more baggy posts before my clothing fits properly again.

Normally I am huge advocate for wearing the correct size. I am a firm believer in not walking around in tight clothing or overly large clothing. That being said, I always understand losing weight, and not wanting to spend money on sizes that might be temporary. Ten pounds can be a whole number size, so if you are like me, and trying to lose more than ten pounds, we are in this baggy clothing thing together! We can just make it fabulous!

Thanks for stopping by!

IT bags under $500 summer 2021 from top left: ivory pencil case / straw tote bag / convertible mini bag / small tan hobo / yellow cross body pouch / beige pouch /

There are so many fabulous IT bags under $500 this summer 2021 season! It is so nice to know we don’t have to break the bank in order to afford a beautiful IT bag which will definitely turn heads this summer season. Love that!

This beautiful straw tote bag is priced just under $500, and it’s an IT bag which is hot this summer season, and has been hot for several years now; it may already qualify for classic IT bag status! It really is a great investment bag!

Also, as you already know, pouches are hotter than hot right now, and these two are priced nicely at under $500. I own the yellow one and love wearing it often. It fits everything I need it to fit while being comfortable to wear; plus it’s super soft. Love that!

Do you see that cute little tan hobo in the collage above? I am in love! This bag is on my wish list. I am in love with it’s east/west, slouchy silhouette, and it’s ’90’s era strap. Plus, the color is on point for the summer season, and early fall. Love!
