Too Hot to Layer

It was unbearably hot outside while I was taking these photos. All I could think about the sweat dripping down my face, so I gave up after I got a few good ones. Even though it's been this hot for a few weeks, I can't seem to get used to it. I have to mentally prepare myself every time I'm about to walk outside. It was kind of silly to wear a second layer over my dress, but I liked how it looked. In retrospect, I probably should've lost the trench vest. It definitely would have been a lot cooler. Oh well. You live, you learn, right?

While we're on the subject of learning, my head's on the verge of exploding from everything I learned yesterday at my new job. It was the first day on my own, so I was at the office until 7:15 p.m. last night. I probably would've stayed there longer if Matt hadn't come to pick me up for a friend's birthday dinner. The work just kept coming and I couldn't find a good stopping point. It was dark by the time we got home, so taking outfit photos was out of the question. Let's hope I don't get sucked into my work again tonight!

Back From the Dead

Gap dress, Old Navy sleeveless trench vest, Target necklace, wedges from Walmart

I spent all of Wednesday and half of Thursday in my pajamas and glasses being completely useless. I surfed the internet, watched TV, and played with Angus and Charles. I didn't do anything productive, mentally or physically challenging.  I started to feel like a degenerate after about 36 hours, so I finally got dressed and decided to buy some groceries. I had eaten everything delicious in my fridge and had resorted to consuming mass quantities of liquor for my calorie intake.

Even though I was a total slob and would die if anyone ever saw me like that (even Matt), I wouldn't take it back. Sometimes, it's nice to take a step back from reality and spend some time completely alone. With that being said, I sure am glad Matt is coming home from his family vacation tonight.

Easy Breezy

Gap dress, vintage vest from Goodwill Blue Hanger, necklace from Buffalo Exchange, Zara flats

I've been wearing these flats almost everyday for the last week. In fact, I'm wearing them right now. They are so comfortable and go with everything. Plus, I bought them on sale!  Whenever I buy retail, I much prefer buying things on sale than at regular price. It just hurts a little less, especially because I'm so used to buying a single item for less than a few dollars at the thrift store. But I have to admit, there's just something so satisfying about a new, unused pair of shoes. Although I try to do most of my shopping at thrift stores, I'm occasionally willing to spend a little more on something new that will last for a long time.

Rock Star Glamour

I felt like a 90s rock star in this outfit. That wasn't my intention, but I liked the end result. I never imagined myself wearing a leopard dress, but I 'm glad I never completely ruled it out. I bought the dress for $1 knowing I'd wear it for the first time with The Vest. I'm not sorry you're seeing this vest again. I. LOVE. IT.

I thought my head bang looked more legit in this outfit. Maybe not...
