Have you ever had days where you get dressed and think, “Eh, this looks alright” and then go about your day feeling less than stellar? Happens to me all the time. But then, there are days when I get dressed and am like, “I’m so cute I can’t even…” and then my husband responds with, “me either” and I strut my stuff all day because I love my outfit so much. This was one of those days for me. In hind sight, I should have worn some dressier shoes, like heels or wedges or something. I’ll remember that for next time!

I’ve had this top/shorts combo in my head for a while and finally put it together to wear out of the house.   I purchased this adorable cap-sleeved blazer for my Barden Bella halloween costume last year and am just now wearing it for real, which makes me super excited. I wore this to an internship meeting and then to sit at the library for a few hours to finish some writing assignments, so very few people saw me. But that just means that I get to wear it again tomorrow! 😉

This is what Nick wore to the Food Truck Rodeo. A nice, casual outfit for eating greasy food truck fare. Red is Nick’s signature color, so it’s not surprising that he picked these; it also just happens to look really good on him!

He also broke out his new Sperrys. He’s been wanting a pair of casual shoes that he could wear with shorts and tees instead of his loafers, but that were also age-appropriate. I think these look great and he really likes them, too.

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!

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.
