IN MY LIFE

» Ugh, I’m sick again. My week has been all cough drops and boxes of tissues and naps. And ice cream. At least theres that. I love a big bowl of regular ol’ chocolate ice cream. 

» LOFT is at it again with more new arrivals. I love this big stripe skirt, this smaller stripe skirt, these embroidered shorts, these Lou & Grey shorts, and this little floral necklace. I also tried this dress and this top on at work yesterday and they’re both really cute! (psssssst… it’s 50% everything (except Lou & Grey) through the rest of today!!)

» Kendi is killing it with this outfit. Outfit envy. 

» Cheddar and pineapple? So yum! My step-mom gave me a similar recipe to this a few years ago and me and Boo love it. I’ve been craving it lately. Maybe I’ll make it sometime next week.

KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID

I spent a lot of time in front of the mirror trying to figure out what else this outfit needed. A chunky necklace? A denim vest? An arm full of bracelets? And then I realized it didn’t need any of that. Simple can be good. And it’s summer, after all. A cute romper, some strappy sandals, and trusty sunnies are all I need. 

P.S - I think I seriously need a romper intervention.

THE INVITE SAID 'FORMAL ATTIRE', SO I WORE A JUMPSUIT

… That’s totally normal, right? To be honest, it wasn’t my idea. It was about a week before this wedding, I was at work complaining about how I had no idea what I was going to wear since I just realized it was formal, when one of my managers suggested I try our black jumpsuit that a few of us had been lusting over. I believe she referred to it as a lady tux. And you know what? I thought it was GENIUS. 

So I bought it. and I wore it. And it was amazing.

KIMONO

I love this fabric so much. But I didn’t know what to do with it when I first got it. It’s just so good, I didn’t want to screw it up and have it go to waste! But after posting it on Instagram (psssst - follow me here!), a few people mentioned that it would make a perfect kimono. Genius! So a kimono it became. 

This is seriously one of the easiest things you could make. Especially out of a knit like this (no need to finish the edges!). I didn’t make a tutorial, but both Leanne and Liz have some good ones, so you should check them out!
