Hello and welcome to another edition of Fashion Files with myself and Marsha.

I have not done too well with outfits over the past week! I have not been “getting dressed” some days like I would prefer.

On Monday, I threw this on for an errand. I have on my new Aerie cut offs, my last year’s Aerie Maine lobsta sweatshirt and my old gold Birks. I am not Aerie’s demographic, but I am so pleased with the quality of their stuff. It washes well and feels good on.

I wore this for a rainy afternoon of Mah Jong at my friend’s house. I can’t decide if I should capitalize the name of the game and if I need more h’s or more g’s. Lol. These are my Amazon jeans, my Hari Mari flip flops from last year and an Aerie button up! This post is not sponsored by Aerie.

Let’s talk about the Hari Mari flip flops. I wanted a good quality tan flip flop and I considered several different brands. These are such good quality and so comfortable. I can’t remember where I heard about them. I wear them every single day for at least part of the day.

I didn’t put on another real outfit until Friday when I was headed to the mall for Chicken Salad Chick and a couple of other stores. I wore my Free People red Mary Janes, my striped Halaras, and my Old Navy striped blouse.

I wore this to the Saturday farmer’s market. I thought it was going to rain but it never did. I have on my new Crocs Miami flip flops, old Umgee gauzy pants, new this season Target checked blouse, Amazon scalloped cardigan and a hat from Michigan that was Mason’s.

The Crocs Miami are fabulous!

Let’s talk about gauze. I like it better than linen because it doesn’t wrinkle like linen. I have a “camp” shirt up from Old Navy a few years ago in black, white, and hot pink. Here is the black:

I am wearing it with very old Target Universal thread olive drawstring shorts that are fabulous.

Remember when we talked about fast fashion? It ain’t fast when you keep something for 10 years!

I will say that your white pieces just usually don’t last as long because the get the pit stains and such. So, I usually have to say bye to white sooner.

I added another gauzy piece from Old Navy. I couldn’t find it in store; I ordered this online. Here I put it with the same olive shorts.

I also wore it with my Aerie cut offs:

I thought these graphic flat lays from The Good State on IG were so cute:

Let’s talk a little more about gauze! I have turquoise and orange gauze shorts with pockets from a local boutique. They were on sale! I have a green J.Crew dress from a consignment store that I wore a ton last summer!

The J.Crew kelly green gauze dress:

The white gauzy “camp” shirt:

The shorts are also Old Navy. They were on major clearance a few years ago and I love lime green.

Here are the gauzy boutique shorts that I also have in orange:

I introduced my friend Beth to gauze last year and she is a gauzy girl now, too!
