Floral Tee and Acid Wash

Today I'm sharing this super cute tee that I scored at Ross. It's actually an XL from the maternity section-- score! Plus you can't beat that message. Believe in yourself! Arthur, anyone? I loved that show as a munchkin!



Hope everyone's weekend is going well! The weather is so nice here lately, I just can't get enough. I'm really going to miss our screened porch when we move. Hopefully the new place will have one too.

Hot Pink-ini

Hey babes! Hope it's wonderful in your part of the world! Things are good here in mine. :) We're looking desperately for a new home, but we have a few leads so for the moment I'm not in a full panic. I hate moving so much, gah! Things are changing a lot around here, but I'm staying positive and having faith that everything will work out for the best.

Today I'm sharing some more fatkini pictures! I can't decide if I like this one more than the first, but I definitely love it! It's so flirty and feminine. And I love showing off my shoulders! I thought the top was very supportive considering it's not underwire-- it does have some boning in the sides that help. And it comes with removable straps should the mood strike.

Sparklebug

WELL, today was quite the day for me! I had an eary morning appointment with the lady doctor... and I somehow managed to get lost on the way. AHH! I'm terrible, terrible with directions so it's really not that surprising, but it was still pretty stressful. I finally managed to figure out where I was and was only a few minutes late. Yay!

Anyway, the real triumph is that I still rolled into work looking like a cute little sparkle! I am totally addicted to these pink sunglasses, and this top reminds me of Art Nouveau (which I love). Also, do those earrings not look like awesome little gills?

Fatkini Season

I'm back from vacation and bearing photos! We had such a great time. The weather was perfect the whole weekend and we came home today feeling relaxed and refreshed. We spent a lot of time on the beach this go around, and I have to admit that I was more nervous about wearing a bathing suit in public than I anticipated. It's certainly not my first Summer rocking a 2-piece, but for whatever reason I felt a lot of apprehension this trip. But after a few minutes of wonderful sunshine on my skin and I knew that I was totally great! I didn't even get any funny looks. Excellent trip all around.

I have a few more suits to share, but for the sake of not boring you with repetition, I'm going to try and space them out a little bit. I wore this one on our first night on the beach! The bikini top is from Asos and has a removable halter strap and underwire support. The mint bottoms are from Forever 21.

Buttercups and Bunnies

I think these might be my favorite outfit pictures! Today was such a beautiful day, and when I came home it was breezy and the sunlight was just perfect. There are these little yellow wildflowers popping up all over our property. And there were BUNNIES! I mean, come on. All that was missing was some little mice to sew a gown for me. Or maybe a poisoned apple, yanno. ;)

Tomorrow morning we'll be on our way to Florida for our vacation! It might be quiet here for a few days as a result, but when I come back I should have lots of photos to share. And more than a few fatkinis, too. In the meantime you can catch up with me on tumblr or instagram. All hail Summer!

This week the inspiration comes from the brand new tv show, Penny Dreadful. If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely tune in! It's a dark, creepy, supernatural, Gothic adventure.

Rosie Posie!

Hello again! Today I'm sharing a super duper cute dress that I still cannot believe only cost me $10 (!). The skirt is even lined with a little bit of tulle so that it poofs out nicely. Gah! I love it.

Please disregard the creepy bluish pallor of my legs! Hahaha. I am super pale and the blue carpet on my porch was reflecting onto my legs a little. ;) Hopefully I'll get a teeny tiny bit of color at the beach this weekend. Lord knows I don't really tan but I sure do freckle! ;)

Cobalt and Coral

Hey there, beautiful! Hope this Monday morning finds you well and happy. Our weather here has gotten really warm really quickly, and I have to say I'm loving it. I love Summer! Maybe it's just the Floridian in me, but I can't get enough of sunshine and cruising around with my car windows rolled down.

This outfit is the perfect thing to wear on a humid, warm day. The top is breezy, light chiffon. These pants are stretchy and not too constricting. They're also lighter than regular denim, so I wasn't roasting all day. ;)
