Last time I wore this bow was last year’s board meetings at work. I’m not sure what it is about big tweed bows, but they just feel like a good way to spruce up during long meetings.

[and hey, you can see my new/5 weeks old hair cut!]

dress: thrifted J.Crew
belt: Anthropologie
shoes: thrifted
necklace: inherited 

you tell it was a long day, because my dress is thoroughly wrinkled and I had to use the flash.

also, enjoy the gardening paraphernalia in the background. We are regular farmers over here!

I’ve been looking for headbands as a way to switch up hair-dos without taking a ton of time in the morning, but I still haven’t found the perfect one. This bow headband from H&M is still cute though!

dress: Target
jacket: Ann Taylor Loft, thrifted
shoes: Target 
belt: H&M
necklace: grandma’s
headband: H&M

For how much I love my hair, I do have one frustration - I don’t know how to do anything with it! I found this tutorial via pinterest that shows how to pull bangs back (I’m growing mine out) with a french twist , and somehow I couldn’t even do that right.

top: Banana Republic
sweater: Old Navy
jeans: Gap
heels: Seychelles, thrifted
necklaces: inherited from my grandma and great-grandma.

I’m still two weeks behind on these posts. Pretend that I’m not. I have lots of pictures waiting in the queue, so hopefully this one will get me motivated to get more up very soon! Traveling is a lot more wearing on my than i anticipated and lately it feels like packing is my new job. (as is early morning squinting)

this dress (from Target here) is something I’ve been wanting for a while. It’s a dream. Versatile, cute, work-appropriate and endlessly remixable. You’ll be seeing her again. (shoes from Target as well)

I was going to crop out the farm equipment on the side - but then it looked kind of rustic. I was also apparently also to lazy to put my necklace straight before taking these pictures. But I’ll distract you with my mighty calves.

This is a seasonally modified copycat outfit. i knew I wanted to wear my gingham shirt, and that Kendi has posted lots of fun outfits featuring her blue gingham, so I pinterested (yes, it’s a verb now) her and loved this combination.

But she had worn in it the fall with tights and boots. (see Kendi’s original post) So I slipped on my sexy suede heels and called it a [hot, summer] day.
