This top makes me feel really girly. :] Is it the pink, the babydoll cut, or the flowers? I can't decide. I did decide that the middle part of the flowers is the perfect maroon to match the tee underneath. And I did decide that finding the t-shirt at a thrift store, and the flowery top at Plato's Closet for $3 makes for a wonderful, and cheap outfit. Which will most likely become a go-to for the still sweltering time ahead. It was cute, and great for a lazy day off. Oh, plus the shoes are my mom's. A.K.A.- Free. :D

No, the bike is not mine. It's also my mother's. Neat, huh? Also, I don't know why but wearing tunic tops with short shorts has been my favorite thing to do this summer. I remember high school where the most I would show of my leg would be my calves under some capris. I still wore jeans 95 percent of the time, all summer long. Oh, and black t-shirts. Yes, I was one of those. lol!
I can't walk in heels to save my life. And these wedges have nearly killed me a couple of times. But I just love them sooo much! I can't let go. Also, they're really bad on my feet, and the balls of my feet already hurt just from walking in normal, flat shoes. Sheesh. Also, again, I just realized after going through these pictures, that my toenail polish matched my purse! hahah. Which brings me to my next point...
My awesome purse! I don't know how many of you are into Vera Bradley, but I freakin love her stuff, thanks to the influence from my best friend, Emiley. :] I had never seen a solid color one before. And this was found in a thrift store, marked ten bucks, and everything in the store was 75 percent off!!!! Can you believe that? I almost had a heart attack. I also found an Oscar de la Renta scarf. Come ON people. Man, I'm just revealing all my secrets today. haha. The real secret is in the shades, though. I love when I get compliments on them, because nobody knows where they came from. And I have the urge to tell you. Right here, right now. Okay.. I found them inside Dollar General. They were $3.50, including tax. They have lasted me forever. And go with everything, and I'm in love.
Don't worry, these aren't the sad "blues". Opposite, in fact. Or, well, kind of the awkward blues in these photos since I've fallen out of the loop and am feeling a little bit uncomfortable in front of the camera again. So I apologize in advance. haha. I'm trying to get back in the groove, and I thought this monochromatic look would be an easy, yet still interesting, way to stick my toe back into the blogging pool.
This is pre-jump pose pose. Don't ask why I must do the robot to prepare to jump, it just felt like the right thing to do.
Ahh. Summer. So carefree. That's part of why I've been absent. I'm lazy in hot weather. Lazy? I meant.. carefree. HAH! Plus I've been uninspired, bored, whatever. But I went to this local thrift store with Jonathan's mom. She volunteers there and told me about a huge sale they were having. Everything was 75 percent off, and clothes were $2 for however much you could shove in a bag. I got 2 bags. And quite a few things for 75 percent less than they were marked. That one little shopping trip ignited my flame, and here I am. She said they're restocking everything tomorrow. So it won't be on ridiculous sale, but everything will be fresh and there will be plenty to pick through, so I might have to make another trip. And then another when I can get 2 dollar clothes-bags. Most exciting day ever. Oh, that's how I acquired these pants, btw. I got some really exciting things that I cannot wait to show you!
I have to say, I'm pretty sure this is one of my favorite outfits so far this summer. I know it just started, but I've worn this twice already. haha. I even got a compliment from Jonathan on it, and I was pretty surprised. I didn't think this would be something he would like. So it's a double wammy of favoritism. Gotta love that! :] I will admit that the first time I wore it was a much simpler version, i didn't own the hat or necklaces yet. But I bought them all with this exact thing in mind. And I'm sooo happy with the way it turned out!
It's a fairly preppy look, so I feel like the lace and accessories make it a little less traditional. The chain necklace I had been spying at WalMart every time I went, but I didn't want to pay the measly six dollars for it. I'm so cheap! lol. But this last time I went, it was on sale for three bucks!! I definitely couldn't pass it up then. Then the feather necklace came from a birthday shopping trip Jonathan took me on yesterday. I spent some money in Forever 21 on some other things you'll be seeing pretty soon also. :] Oh, that's where I also got the hat. I love birthdays! (Mine isn't until the 11th, but he'll be out of town so we're celebrating early.) Next is sushi!! And then when he comes home we'll finally be going to Movie Tavern. I've never been and I'm so excited! hahah.
P.S.- I got to see my best friend tonight!!! Emiley, I'm so so so glad we got to have an in-person conversation for the first time in almost 2 years. This outfit isn't from tonight, but I'm too excited to not tell everyone until I get to that outfit. haha. Ah, it was so nice. I wish we could hang out all the time again. I miss her so much. :( blahh. anyway. No being sad! I'm just happy we had this opportunity tonight.
