Wow – that went fast. Wasn’t it just Christmas?
Today I am sitting out in the backyard, enjoying 70 degree breeziness and letting my pasty alabaster legs soak up some sun. I am majorly looking forward to summer and hanging out by the pool, having snowcones, and having zero schedule. Every single day of our week is filled with stuff — with the exception of Fridays and Saturdays. Come May, that’ll be over with and I cannot wait! Not to say I’m not enjoying these days now. I am. But it’s just so busy!
And, one month from tomorrow, I officially turn (gulp) thirty. 30! Or, as I like to think of it, “Thirty, flirty, and thriving”! (ha – name that movie). It kinda weirds me out that I will no longer be in my twenties. “In my twenties” sounds breezy and carefree. Thirty sounds … responsible. Officially adult.
Ok. Moving on. What else … oh, isn’t it funny how sometimes you are influenced subconsciously? Enter my obsession and utter love for stripes, as evidenced by this photo I pinned the other day to Pinterest. Darling, non? Don’t you wish you were there? Doesn’t it make you happy and all beachy-feeling?
So when I saw this dress I’d been lusting over in real life the other day, it filled me with all the same happy feelings!
Belted w/ a little silver skinny belt and paired with yellow ballet flats, I’m happy as a clam.
It’s not for everyday — it’s big and slouchy like a favorite sweatshirt, but I love the way I feel nipped in at the waist with it belted. Summer perfection.
And adding to my beachiness are turquoise(!) nails. Again, not something I typically go for (I’m typically a pale nude pink kinda girl), but I’m surprised at how happy they make me! Actually, this photo makes them look super neon, and they’re not quite so bold IRL.
