These overalls I thrifted last year are so cute, yet I rarely wear them. The reasons? 1. It's a bit short and 2. I can never decide what to wear under it. I think I've only shown the overalls on the blog once [and another on instagram], but I think I've worn them a few other times. I love the color and the fabric is super soft, if only it were a couple inches longer it would possibly be a Summer staple!
I was also a little adventurous with my hair this particular day. I used to braid my hair a lot, but since getting it cut in December it has never really been long enough for a good braid. I was pleasantly surprised to see I could get a crown braid again! Yay!

I added a couple new basics to my close this month, a new pair of sandals as well as a new sweater for the Winter (not sure I should have included it in here, but I bought it so I am.) You will also notice that one of my five items from the previous posts is missing. I decided to sell it because I don't think I will get much use out of it. Lesson learned. No more impulse thrifting buys.
I also bought a few things during Roundabout Resale's Summer Clearance. All the items were brand new with tags, how awesome is that?! A Burberry London dress, which is part of my 5 and a pink cashmere sweater that I'm putting under basics. I also bought some crazy Tabitha Simmons boots that should technically be part of my 5, but they're Winter so I'm not counting them. They are in the photos anyway. [Oddly enough, I posted them back in 2011, how funny is that?!]

I'm not usually one for lace, but I was drawn to this Winter Kate top last year and it has become something I fall back on when there is a slight breeze in the air and I want some ventilation. The only problem is it wrinkles really easily at the bottom, but I've learned to live with it. I've worn it a bunch of times on the blog, but never with shorts, oddly enough. I always try to bring out the blue of the print, so I styled it with my teal Sseko sandals and my trusty Marc Jacobs bag (Luna is her name.)

This dress has been featured on the blog a few times in the past couple years. First it appeared in a video outfit and a few more followed. I thrifted it for under $6 and while I loved the print was never fully happy with it because of the length. So this year I finally had my mom shorten it, I like it so much more now! Perfect for those hot Summer days when you want to wear nothing.

Here is my last camping outfit, and is not something you will normally see me in: workout clothes. I'm not one for going to the gym or working out, so I don't have much need for athletic wear. I don't even own sneakers! (I borrowed a friends for this outfit.) But, since I knew we would be going on some hikes during our trip, I decided to get some real workout clothes, this is when I discovered Fabletics! I saw a commercial where Kate Hudson was talking about the site and how you can get your first outfit for $25! A full outfit for $25? I'm in! This look came with shorts, a top and a sports bra, but there are a bunch of combinations.
This shirt is AMAZING! We were hiking for quite a while (5 miles one day and a little under the second) and I knew I was getting, you know...sweaty, and you couldn't even tell with this shirt. It is so good at keeping you dry. And the shorts come with built-in underwear, but I am too self-conscious for that, so I wore other underwear too. (Never though I would say that word on this blog! Some things are meant to stay private, ha ha)
This is NOT a sponsored post, I just like the outfit!
