all the funny things you do

I'm back from a little blogging summer vacation. A lot of reading and spending time with friends has been happening lately and I just couldn't bring myself to be in front of the computer when I was home. I expect things will continue to be a bit sporadic for the summer, and a little bit different, too. Less outfit posts and more of my normal life posts.

These are from the week leading up to the 4th. I had a lot of red, white and blue outfits stretched out across that week. Red, white and blue is one of my favorite color combinations but I always feel weird wearing it when it's not Fourth of July. So when the 4th does come around, I go all out.

The weather finally got the hint that it's summer and started warming up around here! It's been nice and hot and sunny with the occasional thunderstorm or rain storm - perfect. Good thing, too. I just bought a white bathing suit and it just isn't going to look good without a nice, golden tan! ;)

To be honest, I went a little bathing suit crazy this year. Losing 20lbs + warm weather = bikini overload! It felt so liberating to toss all my ill-fitting ones too. Isn't that the best? Being able to donate all the clothes that are too big for you suddenly?
