I'm about to head home for the first time this summer, and I'm looking forward to some quality time with my parent's pool (and my parents, too, of course!). In addition to my favorite neglected bikini, I'm mostly just be packing a big stack of magazines and books. My plan is to read Eat Pray Love before the movie comes out, but my summer reading list is expanding as fast as the summer's blinking by. (The latest on my literary wish list? Anthropology of an American Girl.)
I'll finally be able to wear this dress as it is truly intended to be worn -- a pool cover-up. What was a $12 impulse purchase has ended up being one of my favorite items of the summer, but as cute as it looks layered under cardigans and over camisoles, it will undoubtedly look cutest poolside.
