where did i park my boat?

I feel like this outfit belongs on a yacht somewhere. Though I almost always aspire to look like I just stepped off a yacht in the summer. Or I aspire to look like I just rolled out of bed. Could go either way.

This outfit is actually really old. Like, sometime in May old. I've been hoarding pictures. And trying not to take new ones until I use up these. Then I plan on cutting back my outfit photos, because it's just getting a bit tedious for me. I'm not ditching the blog - just switching it up a bit.

I felt pretty good in this outfit. It was such a gorgeous spring day that I decided to take a bit of a mid-day break and walk to the coffee shop near work and treat myself. Then I sat on a bench by the river and just relaxed. It was such a treat to just do that in the middle of the day, instead of being trapped in my crappy little cubicle. I need to make more time like that this summer!

Plus, someone saw me out walking and said "Oh cute outfit!" and just made my day. ;)

The whistle necklace in the picture below (you know, the one I accidentally cropped almost completely out of the picture?) is from Forever 21. It cost $1.50, I believe. But it has proved invaluable. You know why? It's the only thing my scrappy little mutt will respond to. I brought it home and just gave it a toot to see if it worked, and next thing I know a little white puppy is sitting at my feet, looking up at me obediently. Mom and I ran back to Forever 21 and bought another one, because this is seriously the only thing that little punk will come to.

I loved this outfit. I know everyone has been buying this dress, but I just couldn't resist the bright colors and comfy shape. This will be so easy to just throw on all summer, add a few accessories, and be done. Of course, Boyfriend took one look at me and told me I looked like I was wearing a pillowcase. Boys. What do they know?

We finally got some warm weather this week and I've been able to wear more spring-like attire! I'm completely loving it. I feel like my whole closet is brand new!

The best thing about this dress is you can do so much with it. Add flip flops and a jean jacket and this becomes a bit preppy. Or like I did here, add a little leather jacket and black accessories and it gets a little punk. Put on a belt and heels and it gets dressed up. I'm loving this dress even more the more I think about it, haha.

One more day til Savannah!
