A Hidden Gem

I really do love my town! There are hidden gems all over- for example this perfect spot is down a little dirt road in the middle of downtown. This little treasure is called The Pocket Park. It is a great place to unwind in a big comfy sweater! Today was a beautiful day to visit The Pocket Park, the weather was 75 degrees and sunny. It was great to sit back, relax and enjoy the river breeze since this week has been a tough one!  

This look is very very laid back and beyond comfortable! This look is comprised of an oversized sweater with cold shoulder sleeves, "mom jean" shorts and slip on flat sneakers. It is the perfect outfit to sit on a bench, read a book, and enjoy the amazing view from this tiny piece of heaven. 

This is another example of the front tuck...my usual look. Since this sweater is a size L it is pretty roomy. Since I am wearing this sweater with jean shorts I wanted to tuck the front in so everyone could see that I AM WEARING PANTS UNDERNEATH! Another look with this sweater could be the sweater and leggings, and with that I would leave the sweater untucked.

This whole outfit is under $100. The sweater ($25) was on sale for from one of my favorite online boutiques, Dottie Couture, the jean shorts ($25) and shoes ($20) are both from Target. Isn't it nice to know you can look this comfy, yet stylish for an affordable price!

This is a tiny piece of the view from The Pocket Park. It is a true pleasure to sit on one of the benches and watch as boats pass by. Sometime I take this small town for granted, but when I'm here enjoying the peace and quiet I could not picture myself living anywhere else.

There are three benches at this park, and all three are perfect for sitting and talking with someone, laying down and reading a book, or just day dreaming about the endless possibilities of life. This park is usually quiet with very little foot traffic. The loudest noise you will hear are the birds chirping in the trees above you.

Thank you for letting me escape reality today, Pocket Park! I look forward to our next meeting.
