Let me tell you something.  My hair has been fighting back lately.  Believe it or not, my hair doesn't not have a natural wave.  What?  Ya, I know.  I bet you didn't know that - not.  Anyway. the left side used to curl just the same as the right and now it won't.  So I think it's time for a real cut again.  I'll marinate on that decision a little longer but it definitely needs to be chopped.  Just the thoughts swirling in my head as of late.  Also, this is another shorts outfit.  Pretty self explanatory I'd say...

SHORTS EVERYDAY

In case you haven't noticed, but I don't think there's a way you haven't, shorts have been on very heavy rotation lately.  There is just something so summery about a pair of shorts and a tank top.  Plus with the hot and humid weather we have been having here lately I don't see much of an option.  Also, hooray for me!  My toenails are painted.  That's quite the accomplishment over here.  All toes are the same color and they aren't chipping.  It won't last long but it's happening now.  You can find the color here.  When the temperatures rise what's your go-to piece in your closet?

RED LIPS & GOLD DETAILS

Sometimes even the most casual of outfits calls for a red lip.  It instantly brightens up your face (which I needed due to my pale skin) and dresses the whole look up.  The first day of summer called for a BBQ with the parents, bon bons & fresh flowers.  Couldn't get better than that, right?  

While I still often miss being a kid and the fun that comes along with it, growing up is pretty great because you appreciate your parents so much more than you ever did.  I'm feeling pretty lucky these days to have the amazing parents I do!

Also been doing lots of this lately. Hoping to see them results soon!

I feel like any day I'm in a rut with my clothes, you know, where I sit there in front of my closet on the verge of a tantrum, I just need to remember that if I put a chambray shirt on with basically anything everything will be alright.  So that's how these old giraffe shorts plus a chambray became an outfit.  This is the very first chambray I bought (totally vintage J.Crew) that at one point I gave to my sister.  I then decided that while she was out of town I was going to steal it back because that's what sisters do of course.  She didn't notice until I wore it around her but she couldn't very well take it off my back could she?  So now I'm hoping I'll get to keep it.  I mean it was mine after all...
