Things I bought, things I want

I have been wanting this silk caftan-ish dress from Block Shop since they introduced it months ago. The shape is flowy but not too oversized, and the color combination is aces. Should I go for it?

I really dig the idea of a white blazer this time of year; so crisp and chic. But they do tend to stain easily, especially if you’re spill-prone as I am, so here’s a much cheaper one for your consideration.

This pretty, drapey silk blend dress from the brand Four Objects seems like it would be magically flattering, and great for travel too.

A perfect layer for the plane or the cool nights at the shore: this spiff linen blend poncho.

The print on my new L’Agence silk blouse is composed of images of Mahjong tiles: so clever and cute.

These track shorts seem perfect for lounging about, or—dare I?—exercise.

This airy gauze top comes in several other neutral shades, and is tons cheaper than this similar one from Xirena.

Can I still wear platform wedges? The heel on these is actually pretty low, so I’m thinking maybe.

Just a fun, nautically-inspired polo sweater in a linen/cotton blend.

Madewell gifted me this slouchy short-sleeve button-down, and I am crazy about it: the shape is great and sort of cocoonish, and the stripes are a perkier, brighter orange than they look here.

This diagonal-stripe satin shirt is really pleasingly graphic, and nicely priced.
