Dots and Spots

Happy friday, everyone!

I’m taking today to officially start the name-change process. I know, I know - I’ve been married for 3 months and I’m just now starting. I’m a bit of a procrastinator. I mean, It is quite the daunting process. Yikes! But, hopefully within a few weeks, it will be all done and I will finally be Holly(Dolly) Darling. 

Not gonna lie, I’m gonna have a pretty sweet new name.

Again

I know - I just wore these shorts, like, 4 outfit posts ago. I told you I really like them.

My hair was really frizzy and all over the place by the time I took these photos, and I was sweating profusely, But I really wanted to document this outfit. Proof that I basically haven’t taken these shorts off since I got them. I’m looking forward to fall as much as the next style blogger, but the day that it is finally too cold to wear them is going to be a sad, sad day. 

For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you may have saw that I was torn between two pairs of Warby Parker frames. Well, tadaaaaaaa - I chose Sinclair. I think Sinclair and Winston are gonna be best friends.

Story Of Some Lacey Shorts

I was really worried when I first ordered these shorts online about a month and a half ago. I worried that they would be too short, and too tight, and I would feel too uncomfortable in them to wear in public. 

But it has been the exact opposite of that. 

I have been living in them. I took them along on the honeymoon, and I wore them every other day. Literally. As a beach cover up, on the botanical gardens visit, and wherever else I could.  And I still can’t stop wearing them. Maybe it’s because they feel like I’m wearing pajamas, except they are really pretty. I mean, I do enjoy wearing my pajamas, and I do like pretty things. It’s a match made in heaven.

Inspiration and Motivation

Woah, an outfit post! It’s been a while, huh? Like I said last week, I seem to be having trouble getting back into the groove of things. After three weeks of not worrying about outfit shoots and blog posts, I’m finding it hard to get back into my routine. But I guess daydreaming about being back on the beach in St. Lucia doesn’t help that much. Siiiiiigh.

Anyway, one good thing about being away from this so long is that I’m finding I have a fresh new batch of inspiration. A whole bunch of new outfit ideas, post ideas, and shop ideas are floating around in my head. So, I have the inspiration, I just need to find the motivation to get to work. So yeah, there’s that.

Feels Like Summer

This outfit just felt like summer to me. Maybe it was the colors (lime green and pink just scream summer, right?). Or maybe it was the 90 degree weather and the sweat dripping down my face. Probably the latter, but I’m gonna pretend it was the colors.
