We have a treat for you! Our favorite photographers, Thad and Sarah of  2 & 3 Photography, held an event where we had some portraits taken! We haven’t had any professional photos of just the two of us since our wedding photos; we usually take family photos with the furbabies in the fall for holiday cards but when this event rolled around, we decided we wanted to get some photos of just us for fun. We had so much fun running around the farm and catching up with our friends!

We were even able to recreate one of our engagement photos (which you can see on our About Us page) that so nicely depicts our personality differences:

P.S. I’ve been at the beach all weekend and haven’t decided yet if I want to post about it so today you’re getting our photos from a few weeks ago. I do hope you’ve enjoyed 🙂

The title of this post is probably a bit misleading because I’ve never seen the show. I hear good things, though, and would like to catch up as soon as I ever have free time again. I just wanted to point out that I’m wearing orange and black (which are typical fall/Halloween colors) in the summer. I’ve had this top in my closet for a while now and it’s been pretty neglected so I decided to take it out and show it come love. I’m still craving comfort so I choose this black skirt and these cute little flats. I plan to wear this top again soon with something white, maybe shorts. What do you think?

Don’t adjust your computer screens, folks… I really am this pale!  But don’t worry, I’m heading to the beach this weekend for my friend’s bachelorette weekend bash so hopefuly I’ll come back with a little color on my skin.

I’ve been doing a ton of driving lately for school so I’ve been craving comfort. This black maxi skirt is one of the most comfortable articles of clothing that I own so I may or may not have worn it several days in a row. I bought it for my very first belly dance performance because I needed a long, black, flowy skirt, and now I wear it all the time. I love it. I know this outfit has been done to death but it’s so good that I’m sure it’ll be around for a while. Since a gray tee and black skirt isn’t that thrilling on it’s own, I tied the tee to add some excitement and keep it feeling fresh and modern.

Top, Skirt, and Sandals: Target
Earrings: Old Navy
Necklace: Claire’s 

I think I’ve found the perfect dress. I wore this outfit last week to my day at the clinic and I got so many compliments from the nurses, mostly about my shoes. They kept telling me how nice they looked and kept asking if they were comfortable. I’m sure that comfort is really important when you’re a nurse who’s on your feet all day.

I really like this outfit because it’s a nice mix of high- and low-end pieces. The blazer is from Banana Republic and the dress is from Target. That counts as mixing high & low, right? This dress is so comfortable that I’m probably going to live in it for the rest of the summer. And I added the blazer as a professional touch. I felt really official at the clinic!

I love a dress that you can class up a bit and wear  to the office (or a health clinic) or you can keep it casual and wear it out for lunch or lounging around with friends. It really doesn’t get much better than that.

Blazer: Banana Republic

I’m hoping utility vests never go out of style. I got this one online last summer thinking I would wear it all the time but then when I put it on, I would get anxious that it looked too big. It’s much longer than I anticipated, and I’m sure that’s because I’m so short. It probably fits just right on an average person. It’s also more gray than green/olive, but I really liked all of the extra details like the leather patches on the shoulders and the studs around the pockets. So, whether it’s big or not, I’ve decided to embrace it.

Nick was at the U.S. Open all last week so I decided to treat myself with new shoes. Hey, he gets what he likes and I get what I like. It’s a win-win. This was the first outfit I thought of wearing with them because it’s simple enough to let the shoes and the vest pop. I like the way it turned out.

Here’s the fun one:
