Outfit:
Lace sweater (Forever21, NY), $8.00, Banana Republic skirt (Salvation Army, Burlington), $3.00, Merona espadrilles (Target, White Plains NY), $24.99, Necklace (I made it!), Earrings (gifted)
Practically everything I own is patterned, so it was nice to find this plain circle skirt that is perfect for work, or for a day out in the sun. Plus it is slightly stretchy, even with a zipper, and that is great for some tummy expansion after a big meal 🙂
I got these shoes from Target when I was back home for Passover and are my new staple. I love the little espadrille heel and they are super comfortable and will go with everything!
Occasion: Bread and Butter Farm
The Bread and Butter farm is in Shelburne, VT, and is all about the experience. The store sells veggies, bread, meats, maple syrup, eggs and other local products. Everything is produced on their farm in the most natural ways and, therefore, is very healthy 🙂 ! While you can visit with the animals, walk around the gardens, and check out the farm, my friend Katie and I went to their store to try a cup of “butter coffee” from a Burlington cafe popup that they had there called Blank Page.
The butter coffee was literally a large chunk of delicious butter mixed in with the finest coffee. Our friendly barista told us the benefits of this combination and that it was actually good for you and contributed to even more energy than a normal cup of coffee. He was passionate about the product and was very informative!
It was pretty delicious and has a long, lingering aftertaste. At the same time, I was a little bit weirded out by drinking butter! Worth trying though! Also, the drive out is scenic and I just love wide open Vermont land!
Hopefully we will be graced with more beautiful, warm weather…it’s about time!
