"You can't expect to meet the challenges of today with yesterday's tools and expect to be in business tomorrow."

Summer has finally decided to make an appearance here in the great north. We have surpassed records of daily consecutive precipitation here this summer. I think we topped out at 32 days! Don't quote me on that though, It was not a fun fact I wanted to remember. The sun is in full force today and I had to take advantage of it in this sweet little romper. I have decided that I feel best in my clothes when I break "the rules". Today I am wearing black and brown and the cut on this romper is ridiculously unflattering, my tush looks about 20 lbs larger than usual and I could be hiding a baby in my belly...I'm definitely not....but I could be if I wanted to though. Anywhoo, I love, love, love it all the same. I have recently been asked what my "personal style" is. This at the time was a tough question for me, and has evoked quite a bit of thought over the past few days and I have come to the conclusion that I am still figuring it out. Thanks to blogging I have found a whole new set of "rules" as in there really aren't any so I'm just having fun with it!


WHAT:
Clutch: HOBO.....ebay
Romper: Target....clearance
Cardigan: Banana Republic.....ebay
Shoes: Thrifted
Sunnies: Target
Necklace: Cookie Lee
Bracelet: handmade by my daughter...it's a friendship bracelet and I never take it off!

WHERE:
Monthly Costco (large big box, bulk warehouse food/grocery store) stock up, an appointment in town, lunch with the husband, back out to Wasilla for another appointment, and then time to begin picking up kids from school, drop them off at Nana's and then home to do some chores, and back over to the parents house for Thanksgiving in August....MMMMMM!

  3. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!~ That is SO STINKING cute on you. I want to put you in my pocket. Love it. I don't think it is unflattering at all, AND I am eager to see if you can layer it up when it gets cold!

  4. Thanksgiving in August -- how yummy! It's funny, because my mom was asking me for my Thanksgiving food requests the other day, and I've been craving mashed potatoes ever since.


    I really like your romper and think it looks so cool.

    To answer your comment -- yep, I'm half-Filipino! It's weird that you say that, because usually I can figure out if someone is too! How wonderful :)
