We did as well, care of those incredibly tasty Magnum brand ice cream bars, which I only very recently discovered are both gluten and egg free, so I can safely eat certain varieties (sooo delighted about that!).<br /><br />Thank you! I wouldn't say that I was aiming for a super period accurate look here, but instead borrowing vintage beachwear inspiration from the years spanning the 30s (very much including the vogue for ankle gracing beach pajamas back then) to the 70s, and it's fun to know that it was the latter that jumped out at you most here. It's certainly a bit of a departure from my usual styles, but I certainly enjoyed it and feel like it's warmed me up to wearing maxi length garments a bit more now. <br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy (almost!) summertime wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-38781285770131077972016-05-30T09:39:57.546-07:002016-05-30T09:39:57.546-07:00When I saw you in the photos I thought "wow, ...When I saw you in the photos I thought "wow, Jess is doing the seventies!". To me this look is exactly what I remember from the seventies. I'm not a fan of maxi skirts, but you look so charming wearing this long skirt. And I think you will get lots of wear out of the roomy straw bag, which literally screams beach. Now I've eaten the ice cream leftovers and will go out again.

Peterman's offerings go up to at least a US size 18, but that certainly does not encompass everyone by any means and I second your hope that they continue to expand their size range further as time goes on. No doubt doing so will only help them to flourish all the more.<br /><br />Many hugs & joyful weekend wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-26805079557122834772016-05-28T18:59:03.537-07:002016-05-28T18:59:03.537-07:00Isn't it though?

I like that though and don't ever want my style to become overly predictable. Shaking things up can be a lot of fun, as this summer-y outfit was, and in this case, it's helped inspired me to be a little bolder when it comes to maxi length garments from now on. So a win-win there for sure. :)<br /><br />Big hugs & best wishes for these final days of May,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-17852757988691294192016-05-28T18:15:57.164-07:002016-05-28T18:15:57.164-07:00What a wonderfully nice compliment, sweet gal, tha...What a wonderfully nice compliment, sweet gal, thank you so much!<br /><br />Tons of hugs & joyful weekend wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-60973372898443155382016-05-28T18:15:28.160-07:002016-05-28T18:15:28.160-07:00What a lovely compliment, honey, thank you so much...What a lovely compliment, honey, thank you so much!
