I’m so confused about the weather now that when we finally have a warm and sunny day, I still wear an outfit that could literally be worn on any day of the calendar year. I’m reading a book right now about Flannery O’Connor, which is set in Milledgeville, Georgia and on her farm, Andalusia. It’s pretty special because I visited there with a class my senior year of college. You know what else is special? Tomorrow being Friday - I’m looking forward to a chill weekend and celebrating Mother’s day with my mom and grandmothers.

  • belt: thrifted

Well, hello! I accidentally haven’t blogged in six days. Oops. My grandmother was in a serious accident last week, so our household has been out of sorts. She’s still in the hospital, and needs another surgery, but she’s going to be ok. In other news, it’s been raining. A lot. And my mother had a birthday yesterday! We had an unexpectedly long evening out of town for her birthday dinner, courtesy of my brother’s car running out of fuel on the way to meet us. Ohhhh well. Thus is life. Tomorrow, I hear the sun will be shining. Things are looking up.

rain, rain, go away

  • blouse, belt, watch: Target
  • dress: Matty M [gift]
  • wedges: Forever 21
  • earrings: vintage

Going with a pretty heavy nautical theme seemed appropriate for today’s monsoon-y at times weather. Today would have been a good day to drink tea and read all day long… so after I finish this, I’ll probably do that for a couple of hours to make up for lost time :D

friday

  • cardigan, pants, shoes: Target
  • blouse: Marshalls
  • earrings: vintage

It’s finally Friday! Today actually went pretty quickly, I had lots to keep me busy and I got to go in late since I was at that trade show last night. Yearbooks are halfway passed out and we’ve made some good progress on ideas and organization for next year, which is exciting! Now I have one last email to send out and I’ll be home free for the weekend… sounds good to me :D

  • necklace: Charming Charlie

Today was another day that felt like Friday all day… also another pretty busy day - they seem to be getting marginally less busy by the day, though [marginally being the operative word]. As long as that continues to be the trend I think I’ll make it, ha. I’m so excited for this weekend! Gonna make a road trip to the beach to see some lovely college amigas :D

progress

  • top: H&M
  • pants & flats: Target
  • scarf: thrifted
  • earrings: DIY

Another super busy but somewhat productive day… I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s pretty much gonna be a marathon until exams, but at least that’s only two weeks away. I can’t believe how fast this school year has gone! So crazy.

friday

  • dress [worn as blouse] & heels: Forever 21
  • skirt: vintage/made over
  • earrings: gift

It’s finally the weekend, hooray! I’ve got a whole list of things I feel really compelled to get done over the next couple of days. That always happens when I’m sitting at work trying to get stuff knocked out - I’m thinking of all this other stuff that would be so much fun to be working on instead. At least I have two whole days [?!?] I can take advantage of - sounds fine by me! Also, hooray for new shoes! That’s always a cause for celebration :D

traditions

  • dress: Ann Taylor Loft
  • cardigan: Banana Republic (thrifted)
  • shoes: Target
  • necklace: Groopdealz
  • bag: Aigner via TJMaxx

Mexican night with my girls tonight! I can’t think of a better way to kick off the weekend than a Thursday night dinner out - which is why it’s a good thing we get dinner almost every Thursday night :) Is anyone planning anything fun for the weekend? I’m house/dog sitting this weekend but I’m hoping to still go do some things Saturday during the day and catch up on my reading and TV shows. And my sleep.

tuesday

  • dress: Loft [thrifted]
  • sandals: Kelly & Katie [via DSW]
  • bracelet: Forever 21

You know what really makes me happy? Being able to leave for work in the morning with bare legs and short sleeves and not being cold at any point during the day. It’s so wonderful :D Two days in a row too!? I also really like my new sandals I bought last week…. get ready, you’ll probably be seeing them a lot soon!

mercury rising

  • cardigan: Target
  • tank top: Walmart
  • pants: Zara
  • wedges: Forever 21

I had no idea it was supposed to get hot today?!? I have a really awful tendency of never checking the weather in the morning… and I always forget how mercurial the weather is this time of year. I guess one way you can definitely tell it’s spring fo realz is the pollen flying around everywhere. My car legit looks gold [it’s burgundy normally]… so much for washing it last week! At least since it’s warm I won’t have to put that off for fear of turning into a human popsicle.
