Bad Decisions

Blazer: NY & Co; Top: NY & Co; Jeans: Tommy Hilfiger;

Shoes: Target; Earrings: Local Gift Shop

It is about 3 million degrees outside today. So naturally, I decided to wear a blazer (again) and jeans. It seemed like the only logical decision. Really though, someone needs to call me in the mornings and remind me that it is summer and that I shouldn't be wearing long sleeves and jeans at the same time. For someone who grew up in the south I feel like I should have learned this lesson by now.

Power Outages

Top: Target; T-Shirt: Hanes; Dress(as skirt): Forever 21;

Shoes: Target; Belt: Dad's; Bag: Vintage

Every time I started to type up this post today the power went out. And, since I was using my old laptop (Why? I have no idea) that won't hold a charge no matter how many times I buy a new battery for it, my laptop shut down as soon as the power went out each time. So, there may have been some really interesting, witty stuff written in this post the first three times I wrote it (probably not), but I'm too irritated with the weather and the power outages to type anything even remotely interesting or witty now.So here's what you should know about this post:

• These pictures were taken at a park right down the road from my mom's house. It is a gorgeous park that no one ever goes to, and it's about to be completely redone, and I'm really hoping that they don't destroy all it's gorgeousness.
• I got this dress with the gift card that I won from Julie. And it's super comfy, and really cheap.
• I stole this belt from my dad a few years ago. It is most likely older than I am, and there was no way he was fitting into wearing a belt from 20+ years ago.
• I'm never taking these shoes off. They are replacing these ones, because the zippers tore up my ankles. For real, I have huge gashes on my legs from them. It's not pretty. I don't know how Kendi wears them, she is clearly superwoman. 

And that's it. Hopefully I'll have something more exciting to talk about tomorrow.

Keeping It Short

Blazer: NY & Company; Shirt: Target; Jeans: JC Penney;

Shoes: Target; Bag: Vintage (SG's); Scarf; Givenchy;

Earrings: Local Fair Trade Shop; Bracelet: Tiffany & Co.; Sunnies: Kenneth Cole Reaction

Sorry I've been missing for a few days. I spent all weekend cleaning the boat with Mom and shopping/prepping food for the 4th, and then Mom & I spent Tuesday in Chicago on the hunt for a blazer that I had been looking for. I basically ran across the store when I saw it & luckily snagged one of the last two available. But, I'm still exhausted from the past few days, so I'm going to keep this short tonight. I'll be back tomorrow with pictures from this weekend. Hope you all had a fun & safe holiday weekend!

Doggelganger

Cardigan: Sam's; Tank: J Crew; Jeans: Tommy Hilfiger;

Shoes: Target; Bracelets: Jewelry; Scarf: Vintage

Things I Learned This Week:

• Michigan isn't ready for people walking around with scarves on their heads. Or anything besides oversized Michigan t-shirts, for that matter.
• If you don't bring your trashcan in before 11:00 AM or so, your neighbor's extremely kind lawn guy will bring it up for you.
• I'm did a horrible job picking my 30x30 items. This outfit is proof.
• I'm kind of a grilled cheese making master.
• Doggelganger paired me with a dog that looked just like my baby girl. Clearly, it was meant to be.

The day we brought her home.

Just look at that face. Isn't she the cutest? I'm trying to figure out a 

way to steal her from my dad's house as I write this.

Alright, I'm off to pack for a weekend trip to my mom's.

What does everyone have planned for the holiday weekend?

I'd love to hear about what fun (or not so fun) things you have planned!
