I remember when my husband and I were dating and I would want to borrow his shirts or cardigans and he wouldn't let me.  In his defense he knows I don't like to borrow but like to own things so he would rarely get them back.  Now that we are married, borrowing and owning things feels the same since we share a closet.  Although we do actually own a few of the same things considering I went through a slight mens clothing phase.

Regardless, a mens (or womens) shirt is a great way to layer here where it's still on the warm side.  Try it sometimes, it's super comfy.

CHRISTMAS? NO...

Red lips, green plaid and bam it suddenly looks like Christmas up in here.  And to be honest I am completely okay with that, maybe even what I was going for?  I will tell you though, it was a terrible choice.  This day I had a terrible headache and so I thought "hey, it would be nice to feel cute today". Well cute I did not feel, my face was sweating, my back was sweating, basically everything had sweat on it.  But I suppose that's what you get when you try to channel Christmas in 90 degree weather.  Lesson learned.  I'll leave that for December from here on out.

FATIGUED

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...

LBD EASE

Madewell Dress // Madewell Necklace // J.Crew Clutch // Anthropologie Wedges // J.Crew Bracelet - Necklace Version

I don't know if it's the heat, the early drinking (it's 5 o'clock somewhere) or a simple lack of motivation but I have had a total writers block this week.  I opened and closed this post multiple times this week because I just couldn't think of anything to say that would be worthwhile (and I suppose I still haven't).  So I settled on this.  The good news (for me at least) is that once next Thursday rolls around I am headed out and onto a mini vacation.  Believe me, it couldn't come sooner!

Onto the dress... It's so light, airy and comfortable for these hot and humid days we've been experiencing.  Plus there's the cute little cutout in the back!  I added the fun shoes for a print pop but left everything else very simple.  What's your favorite way to wear an LBD?

HAIR FEELINGS

I know what you're thinking, "she said she cut her hair!".  While the difference might not seem apparent to you... the face framing layers have made quite the difference in my feelings about my hair.  They have completely thrown me off darnit!  I always prefer those times when I can blame my hair stylist for not cutting my hair the way I wanted, but this time my friends, it was all me.  She did exactly what I asked for.  I think what it comes down to is that I showed her a picture of the hair I wanted and then I didn't turn into the girl in the picture.  Not her fault.  I guess you could say my expectations were too high?  I mean she's a hair stylist not a god.  But I will tell you right now, lesson not learned.  It will be the same exact thing next time.

Also, this right here is my new jumpsuit, aka daytime pajamas.
