white on white

A fresh and bright color palate for this one. I was wearing white before Labor Day and decided to just go all out and keep the whole outfit in a white and gray color palate.

If only the weather would warm up (and STAY warm) these white pants would be in heavy rotation. It will happen eventually! Just gotta make it through the end of April, which looks like it will be chock-full of those April showers.

These pictures are pre-East Coast heatwave.  I miss the heatwave. The heat doesn't bother me one bit. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that I basically only spend the amount of time it takes for me to get from my air conditioned house to my air conditioned car outside. Unless I'm on the beach or by a pool, in which case I could sit there in the heat all day, just give me a bottle of water. I could easily move somewhere that's hot all year round. I'd take a heatwave over a blizzard any day. As one of my friends put it "You don't have to shovel heat."

I haven't been taking outfit pictures anymore. I've lost interest a bit, and I've basically just been wearing simple sundresses or cut offs and a t-shirt. Isn't that the beauty of summer though?

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?
