"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

"You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind." Dale Carnegie (1888-1955)

So I used the excuse of this new crazy awesome hat I recieved from my daughters yesterday to totally take advantage of  "Casual Friday." I woke up dreadfully tired knowing I had a big day ahead, I threw on jeans,  a slouchy cape, finger brushed my hair, and topped it all off with my new hat. I also managed to brush my teeth in the midst of that. :)  It all came together pretty well I think... I absolutely love those days where you feel casually or unintentionally chic. Where it looks like you didn't spend hours deciding what to wear or fixing your hair and makeup just so, I treasure those days where it just happens naturally!
Today is another special day, it is my second daughters birthday. She is such a treasure. For her day she wanted to go thrifting and get ice cream....awesome I know! We spent the day with my grandma and then celebrated with the rest of the family over dinner and cake! I scored the most fabulous funky sweater also...be looking forward to it! Happy 8th birthday girlie....Love ya!
