So that makes four... four outfit posts in a row that involved stripes. That has got to be some kind of record! I promise I wasn't even doing it on purpose, it just kind of happened.
A couple weeks ago my cube mate at work wore a great dress that reminded me of this bolero I have had in my closet for years. I think this is only the second time I've worn it since I moved to Maryland. Which is just crazy. My problem is I put too much thought into styling it which ultimately took the fun out of it. Today I threw caution to the wind and used it to dress up my cotton tee and cut off shorts. Speaking of my cotton tee I love this trapeze tank. I bought it from Martin & Osa at 50% off. Up until the minute I bought it I thought it was a red striped shirt and then I realized the color said orchid purple! Either way, this is the closest thing I have to red and probably one of my favorite articles of clothing right now.
Random true story: four years ago around this time is when SSBF and I started "seeing" each other. It sounds so silly. We were both so hesitant to put a label on anything we had it took us until August 22nd to become "official". I love him though, pardon the mush, but I've loved him since the moment I saw him.
What's on the agenda for you all this weekend? SSBF and I will most likely be laying low. He has a summer gig at charter school that starts on Tuesday so he has a lot of planning to do. I (unfortunately) will have some school stuff to finish also. Only two more weeks until its over... until September. Hooray!
Have a happy holiday weekend!
