These shorts are one of my new favorite buys! I got them for a steal ($11) in April at the Banana Republic outlet and once it got warm enough to wear them I wore them twice in a 3 day span! I had been wanting this color and style of short of a while but could never find the "perfect" pair. I think these are it! They'll definitely come in handy for my (eventual) safari trip! That's a long way off though.

Yes, I'm wearing a long sleeve, dark colored shirt. Yes, it's the first week of Summer. Do I care? Nope! Ha ha. Yesterday was a little dreary so I decided I wanted to wear my Free People flares. I wasn't in the mood for a tee or a tank top so I went with my striped crop top. The fabric is thin enough that it didn't make me overheat. This was my first time wearing this as an actual crop top and not with something high waisted and I actually quite like it!

Fun note: The shoes that you can't really see were my first ever piece from The Outnet way back in 2011. I did buy something in early 2010 but had to return it because it didn't fit. So I've been a customer of theirs since the beginning, always fun to think about!

Happy Friday!! I'm leaving this afternoon for my third year helping out my friend's Teen Wolf convention, Howler Con! My job is taking one of the actors to his various panels, photo ops and autograph sessions. It's a fun, and busy, weekend. But this year I need to worry about watching the Game of Thrones finale on Sunday! AHH! I'll either be rushing home after the con to watch or staying an extra night at the hotel, ha ha.

Notice anything different? .... I CUT MY HAIR! Last Thursday I got a long overdue haircut and chopped off about 6 or 7 inches. Oddly enough it's now about the same length as it was in this week's throwback look from 3 years ago.  I also slightly changed the look by using a different belt and making the tee look a little more cropped.

Sadly this will probably be the last you see of these fun wedges. When I got home after wearing this one of the straps completely came out from in between the wedge and the leather sole. If I can't fix them it's the end of the line. But they've had a good run of at least 6 years.

(ignore the stupid baby hairs! They're finally growing longer, but now they're always in the way...GROW FASTER!)

The Original: 

This outfit is from a couple weekends ago. I wore it to go out to breakfast with my family and then to do some random shopping (Christmas Tree Shop and Trader Joe's.) It was a beautiful day so we drove my Dad's Mustang with the top down. I do love Summer! Probably not the best idea to wear dark jeans, but they looked great with the camisole so I did it anyway. What we do for fashion, right?

Sometimes all it takes to make an outfit go from frumpy to cool is to tie it up. When I first had this outfit on, I didn't have the shirt tucked in so it looked a little wonky. I didn't want it tucked so I decided to tie it and show some skin. So scandalous!
