This past weekend I went on my 5th annual camping trip with my best friends in Vermont. We've been going every year since we graduated college. My family and I used to go to the same campground every year when I was younger so I decided to keep the tradition going on my own.  We always have a great time hiking, swimming in the river and going to my favorite place: The Vermont Country Store. Funnily enough, Amanda Seyfried was there TWO DAYS BEFORE ME. I was so mad, ha ha.  Anyway...here are some photos from the trip!

(yes, the photos are only of me, but I want to keep my friend's privacy)

I think I'm in a hair rut. When my cousin saw me about to leave the house like this he said 'whoa, what are you all dressed up for!' Apparently wearing my hair like this makes me look fancy. So I guess I need to play with my hair more often instead of just leaving it down all the time or in a plain pony tail. I used to LOVE doing my hair but I've just become so lazy as I've gotten older.

When you're reading this post I'll be on my way to Vermont to go on my annual camping trip with my two best friends! I'll be posting on Instagram a little bit, so be sure to follow the adventures over there! We try to keep off our phones most of the time, but we do take quick "hurry, I have to instagram that!' breaks.

I wore this over the weekend to do some shopping with my sister and her boyfriend. We went to one of my favorite stores, Mother Earth Gallery. I have to limit how often I go there because I can never go in without buying a new crystal. This trip I bought some azurite. And ignore all the wrinkles, when I put this on in the morning it was fine, but sitting in a car will have some adverse effects on any fabric.

This is what I wore on the 4th of July. It was a little chilly during the day so I was able to wear a sweater over my romper. Probably not the best idea bathroom-wise, since I had to take off my sweater then my romper, but what can you do?

I hope all my American readers had a great Independence Day! I spent mine with my family having a barbeque and eating too much food. Summer calls for simple outfits. This was a cooler day so I was able to wear jeans and my sweater without being too hot or cold.  So far this Summer hasn't been very hot, but I'm probably jinxing it.  I wouldn't mind it staying in the 80s the next few months, but I know we'll get up to the high 90s eventually and I will die.

Everyone ready for the long weekend? This is what I wore last weekend to do some shopping and have lunch with Lydia and Christine! We headed to New Haven and visited Vintanthromodern where I picked up a suede jacket I first tried on 14 weeks ago (according to Instagram) And yes, I cheated and didn't put this in my wardrobe update post because this is such a random purchase not related to the season at all. After we shopped we had lunch at a Thai restaurant. It was my first time having it so I was a little nervous, I'm a VERY picky eater. But it was pretty good!

And yes, the post title is a reference to Bob Seger's Mainstreet (love this song!)

Yes, I'm wearing this sweater AGAIN. What did I tell you? I love it! But I've shown it three different ways, with a skirt, with white jeans and now with blue jeans. This is how I wear it most often, super simple. I will try not to post it again for a while, but I make no promises!

I bought this skirt with a gift card back in April at the Clinton Crossing shopping event.  It's a size XL but it was only $6 and I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. I haven't had my Mom make the waist smaller so in these photos I'm wearing it dangerously low on my hips (with shorts underneath). If it was the proper size I have a strong feeling it would be WAY too short on me, so I guess it was a blessing in disguise that they didn't have my size. Ha ha.
