For the rest of the summer, I’ll be spending my Mondays at the pediatric clinic for my internship. I wanted to look legit, so this is what I wore on my first day there. It was really chilly in the morning so the sweater was perfect. And I went with neutrals because they’re just so classy. At the clinic, I was briefly mistaken for an interpreter, which is cool because I do speak Spanish, although not as well as I used to, so I probably can’t really interpret as much as awkwardly communicate in present tense. I also wore flats because I figured I would be on my feet most of the day so I wanted to be comfortable.

This bag is great because it fits my laptop, notebook, text book, AND planner without being too bulky. It also has a removeable cross-body strap, which is really convenient when I’m carrying all that stuff in it and my shoulder feels like it’s going to fall off from all the weight. That happens a lot. I actually carry A LOT of bags when I’m at school and my friends jokingly call me the bag lady. I usually have my book bag, my purse, an extra bag to carry the stuff that wouldn’t fit in my book bag, and my lunch bag. Life is hard, y’all.

I got this shirt on sale for $9 and it’s only purpose was for my Pitch Perfect Halloween costume (I was a Barden Bella) because it was too big for daily wear. But I liked it enough that I took it to the tailor. It can be worn in many different ways so I’m glad I spent the extra money to have it taken in. I love the way it looks tied in the front.

The shorts remind me of one those puzzles that ask how many triangles you can count. There seem to be a lot… not that I’ve tried counting. And chambray wedges? I don’t think it gets any better than that!

Old Navy was trying to hide these wedges from me on a high shelf but I made Nick fish around until he found my size. They can’t hide pretty things from me that easily!

How adorable is this romper? I’ve been wanting one for a while and decided on this one because it’s so pretty! I love the floral pattern with the pop of orange in the flowers. It was too big on top when I bought it, as most tops are because I’m high-waisted, so I had to take it to the tailor. After impatiently waiting to get it back, I finally get to wear it. I think the brown strappy wedges give the outfit a fun and flirty look, and it could work for day or night.

And here’s the fun one: Yay for pockets!

I absolutely adore Simply Lulu Style, and I became an even bigger fan of Lulu when I found out she’s a shorty like me, at 5’1″, because it proves that petite women can look sophisticated and grown up. When I saw this outfit, I pinned it right away because I loved everything about it: crisp white jeans, bright top, and denim jacket. Really, I love pretty much everything Lulu puts together. That woman knows how to dress!

I wore this outfit a few weeks ago during finals. In a way, I seemed to be a little overdressed for last-minute studying in the library and then taking an exam, but it was so cute that I wanted to wear it . Besides, as Oscar Wilde/the internet says, you can never be overdressed or overeducated so it seemed fitting to get dressed up to ace an exam! 😉

On Saturday, we had a few people over for a day of grilling burgers and hot dogs, drinking beer, and playing cornhole and Cards Against Humanity in the back yard. We were outside for a good 12 hours, from noon to 1 AM. When we started, it was beautiful out, very sunny and warm so I wore this almost-halter top and shorts. Why does navy and pink look so good paired together? I seriously could wear this color combo every day.

As the day went on, I kept adding layers. First, this cardigan. The top and shorts alone are cute, but the cardigan adds a nice finishing touch to the outfit, which is what makes this (and any outfit) look so put together, in my opinion.

Then, the sun went down and I got a little cold so I put on my denim jacket. I put it on over the cardigan for a little extra warmth while we were playing some night-time cornhole. By the end of the night, I was wrapped up in a blanket because it got pretty cold.

We had a lot of fun this weekend, and probably drank too much beer, but it was nice to have a fun weekend before the summer school session gets going full-swing.
