Springtime Uniform

Dress: Hand-Me-Down // Jacket: Chadwicks // Hat: H&M (men's) // Slip-ons: Walmart // Pin: Vintage

This is a variation of my favorite spring outfit. It's an easy combination and super versatile. This is the formula: Denim Jacket + Sundress + Sensible shoes + Hat. That's it! Super cute, comfortable and easily customizable. 

This was the perfect outfit for exploring around my new place - until it started raining. Ha! I found one good spot for outfit pictures before the rain came at least :) The hubby snapped these quickly and we ran back to the safety of our apartment. I declared that exploration trip a success even if we only scoped at one spot, it's one more than I had before!

 My goal for the next outfit photo session is to take them near wildflowers, specifically blue bonnets. If you're from Texas or have ever visited here in the spring then you probably know that blue bonnet picture taking is a must this time of year. I don't want to miss out on that tradition so it's on my to do list this spring :)

In the Navy

 I have to confess that when I got this dress I was only thinking about layering with it in the fall because it will be so perfect, but I've already been wearing it regularly so maybe it is just a new favorite. I love that it is simple but has a little bit of detail in the small polka dot pattern. I also love that the fabric is lightweight, perfect for layering with tights and sweaters. Navy is also also one of my new favorite colors. It's sort of like olive clothing because it can act as a neutral. I've added a few navy pieces to my closet and I think it's going to be a popular color for me this fall.

 I decided to keep my styling pretty simple. I added my trusty brown wide brim fedora, my brown loafers, and some turquoise jewelry for a no fuss outfit.

The back also has a cute detail which I forgot to get a shot of so I'll have to remember to get one next time because that's another reason why I had to get this lovely dress.

I wasn't always sure of how to wear navy but now I love pair it with olive, oxblood and my cognac colored accessories. How do you wear Navy?

Whirlwind

 Since I got back into town it feel like I have been playing catch up and trying to adjust back into my normal routine. For some reason this process seems to be taking me a little longer than usual. I've already been back at work for a week & it finally dawned on me that it's already the end of the month.

 July has been a huge whirlwind and I can't believe it's nearly over. How and when did that happen?

 I suppose it's just because I've had a lot more going on this month than usual, but it was the good sort of busy. Aside from getting to go an a truly memorable and amazing trip, I worked a lot and did my best to really enjoy this month.

 I also lightened my hair and quit plucking my eyebrows. At home we've been addicted to spinach and artichoke dip & our new favorite show Halt and Catch Fire. 

July has been a pretty good month.

I'm still planning on sharing some pictures from my trip but I haven't even begun to shift through them yet to find the best ones, mostly because I couldn't find the time, and partially out of being lazy. I promise to share a few with you soon!

On Repeat

 I hope you like olive colored clothes as much as I do, otherwise you're probably getting bored (& we probably wouldn't get along anyway). I seriously can't get enough of this color. Next on my list of olive colored clothing to add to my closet is a dress and some shorts.

 I thrifted this top on a recent trip to goodwill along with some other great clothing. I got a lot of things on my thrifting wishlist so I left pretty happy. I had actually been hunting for a good olive top for a while and I'm really happy with this one, it's so so comfy :)

Lazy Daze

 I'm definitely one of those people who likes to be lazy and kick back and relax while on vacation. This is pretty typical of what I like to wear while relaxing. I love when things are no fuss, and it doesn't get much more low maintenance than denim cut-offs and a T-shirt.

 As you can see I didn't even bother with shoes, that's just how I roll. I figured I made up for it with adding on some extra accessories in the straw hat and some retro inspired shades. I am still all about simple outfits, but I love having fun with my sunglasses.

On The Road

 Well the day that I had been counting down to has finally come. I got work over nice and early, and have begun the first leg of our little trip, which involves dropping off the pup and cat for their own little vacation. In the past I have been horrible with keeping up with outfit photos on trips, but I know I'm missing out on some great photo opportunities so I'm trying to make it a point to take more this trip.

 Plus the weather warmed up and it was nice enough to wear a dress with no tights, no cardigan, and sandals. I'm glad the weather came around because I was definitely starting to worry!

There's nothing worse that being super excited for a trip only to have crappy weather the whole time. (knock on wood for me!) Either way I'm determined to make the most out of this time off because it's the first vacation we've had since Christmas.

 I don't have an especially stressful job or anything, but I think life is too short to work all the time, and both me and my husband love to travel. Little trips like this are so nice for recharging and just being able to catch our breath again. I always come back feeling refreshed and inspired, and right now that's exactly what I need.

 I also love road trips, for singing in the car, cruise control, and scenic views. I have waited for this trip for months now, and I'm over the moon that it's finally here. /endrant/.

A New Hat

 Today was a really great day for two reasons. Number one, this hat came in the mail. My husband and I both ordered new spring/summer hats from H&M and they came in before our beach trip (always nice when things work out). The second thing that made today great was that my sister came to visit today :)

 My sister lives a couple hours away and has been crazy busy with school, but she recently graduated and with some of her first free days she came up to see me and to craft a little bit. I've missed her like crazy and it was so great to catch up and just spend some time with her again.

 I'm hoping our little craft days can become a regular thing, because it's nice to have someone to get excited for silly projects with. We were already scheming ways to make our own rag or t-shirt scrap rugs. We're gonna make it happen ;)

 Few things can make me as happy as a new hat and a visit from my sister. Although I have to admit, life has been really great lately. (knock on wood!)
