My friend Jess and I went shopping in Indy the other day, and I have this thing where I dress up to go shopping. I don’t know what it is, but it’s like I feel… disrespectful or something when I walk into a store without proper attire.*

So anyway, I decorated my blazer with copious amounts of brooches and called it a day.

(I took that picture above. I’m getting better, yes?)

*Except for Target. Target loves me for who I am, and sometimes I wear sweatpants there. It’s complicated.

Happy Saturday! I’m checking in to share my outfit because I’m completely impressed that I managed to decorate myself on a weekend. Husband and I garage saled today and came home empty-handed. Total record, as we are diggers, us two.

p.s. Those bamboo shades? In love. Bon Look sent them to me, and I am now recommending them all over the place. Go forth and shop.

Enjoy your weekend, friends — see you Monday!

Stripes make the world go round.

Samesies is a weekly guest series from M. Fay.

With a wide variety of colorways and a dash of pattern, these Hay & Scholten & Baijings tea towels ($32) are skyrocketing to the top of my kitchen wish list.

Red has always been my least favorite color, but Sergei’s making me change my tune. If you’re having a down day, take a few minutes to perus this photo collection. You’ll go up. I promise.
