Instituted & Bought

(Old Navy: Women's Shorts now $10+)

Now that N and I are settling, we get to do fun things like reorganize closets, dressers, and drawers. I have a new clothing policy in effect as medical school loans and moving has taught me that I can live with much less.

One-for-one, as my friend D termed it.

Effective immediately.

I don't normally wear shorts outside the gym, but we now reside in TX AND ONavy had a promo AND we have an(other) event to attend tonight for N's new gig. On the menu: fajitas. Attire: casual. I don't have 'event' casual. I have 'M spits up' casual, i.e. workout clothing a la Llemon and 'church' casual -- solid tops/pants that I mix&match with varying accessories to add variety.

So, for the loss of one KCole camel colored coat purchased in 2001, I bought these $15 ONavy shorts:

They look great with my recently purchased JCrew top (grandfathered in pre-shopping policy, but still on sale):

Would not classify this as 'church' casual as it is too breezy of an outfit, but here's hoping I'll get wear out of it as summer never ends in these here parts.
