When All Else Fails...

Awesome.

- When all else fails, do as J.Crew does.  Doing as J.Crew does.
- But my outfit is tons cheaper than J.Crew's... Denim top (shop) & ivory skirt (similar) from Target, Stripe tee an oldie from SJP's line and Sandals from Payless
- Whatever happened to Sarah Jessica Parker's clothing line, Bitten, anyways?
- 1/2 day Fridays at work...oh yes.  Summer hours.  My new summer Friday ritual is working in the morning and then heading straight to the gym to work out before hitting the pool.
- Getting my hair did.  Oh yes.  Best thing ever.  And the hair washing - I wish I could just get my hair washed once a week.  It's magical.

Awkward.

- The majorly giant carpenter ants that are sneaking into my house and causing a lot of antsy nights (haha, pun intended).
- Aka, me feeling like there are ants crawling all over me and jumping out of bed for no reason.
- 6am flight for one-day work trip.  6am means, getting up at 4am.  Eeep.
- Copying J.Crew without any creative alterations of my own.  I'm a copycat today, I guess.

That's my Awesome & Awkward Thursday, folks.

Summer White

{Dress - H&M, similar; Gray tee - American Apparel; Orange sandals - Target; Feather earrings - H&M, similar}

Nothing better wearing a light, flowy, white dress on a 95+ degree day.  Well, except for a swimsuit, laying next to a pool.  This will do.  But I thought white was supposed to make you look tanner?  I better get to the pool more this summer.  This girl is as white as the dress she's wearing.

Preppy.

Floppy hat + stripes + a big flower = summer loving outfit

{My Dress - Old Navy, similar; My Hat - Target; Pink Pin - similar}

I will be toting this hat to the pool with me all summer to protect my face and provide some shade for my eyes for better reading (and thus hopefully developing fewer wrinkles from squinting).  I know sunglasses help do the trick for the latter, but I don't like the tan lines. :)
