This would have to be one of my favorite outfits. I think it has a little bit of grunge and sweet that mesh well together. But not tooo much sweet. hah.
If you read my first post, I briefly mentioned my best friend, Emiley. It was only briefly because I wasn't quite sure if we were still best friends or not. :(
But she called this morning! And we are! Just in case you were worried. haha.
My move to Texas has really put a rift in our relationship, and it really sucks, but I had to do what was right for me at the time. Although my plans have changed and I'm not moving back, I never intended to push that rift further apart, but that's what has happened unfortunately. However, I think we can start to close the gap again, it's just going to take some work, that I am ready and able to put in on my side as well now.
Anyway, I just thought I'd throw that in because it had been weighing on my mind. My very first table this morning at work were two old ladies who had been best friends for years and shared with me all of their great jokes and memories between them and each other's husbands. We laughed, and cried, and the lady on the right (her name was Mary) told me to never let go of my friendship. And I promised her I wouldn't.
Bahh. Sentiments! :]
Back to clothes. ahem.
Sequined cami-?/Blue long sleeved shirt- Outlaw from Ross/Plaid shirt- Loves Notes from Ross $7!/shorts- Abbey Dawn (yes.. Avril Lavigne's clothing line. don't laugh.) from Ross $5!/tights-WalMart/Shoes- TOMS/
Sunglasses- Target via lost and found at work. hah!/Necklace- Mom'sSo yeah, I personally love the combination of the shorts, tights, the thumb holes in the sleeves, and then of course the plaid shirt (complete with pearl snap buttons!), and then the pearl necklace thrown on top to girl it up a little bit.
I also love the bright sunshine we've had all day!
And the enchilada pie that Jonathan's mom makes that he won't eat because there's tomatoes in it. haha. YUM!
Have a wonderful night!
Even though I've worn this top a few times before, I bought it with this specific skirt in mind. And in case you don't remember, this skirt is the one I had asked about shortening in this post, here. I got a great suggestion about using safety pins and kind of bubble-hemming it, but it's not permanent because I really did love wearing it longer, too. But now that it's so hot out, the shorter hem length is mandatory. And I must say, this is definitely a favorite of mine. I was in a funk for awhile, but i feel like I'm slowly pulling myself out of it. With my clothes, anyway. hah.
This is another appearance from my favorite bangles. Which Emiley, my best friend, noticed and brought up, and thought it was really weird that I was wearing bangles. haha. Her and I hadn't seen each other for almost two years and last Friday we finally were able to get together and eat some dinner and catch up a little bit. It was surreal, and the best night I've had in a really long time. I miss her every single day. Living so far apart is really hard on both of us, especially because prior to my moving we spent almost every minute of every day together. We lived together, worked together, had the same friends, and all the same interests. So yeah, this has definitely been a big adjustment. But I'm just so thankful to have been able to at least eat dinner with her after so long. And.. yeah. This is what I wore! haha. Don't ever let anyone tell you that a friendship is not important. Seriously.
