Kelly Green & Stripes

{Tank: Forever 21, Skirt: Zara, Belt: H&M, Heels: Target}

Last weekend I only managed to wear one new outfit, but that was because I wanted to rewear one of my favorite black dresses that I included in the challenge.  It was absolutely amazing weather last weekend, and I was able to see my parents, walk around one of the local street fairs, and lay by my apartment pool.  All in all it was a wonderful weekend!

Scarf it Up!

The lovely Keiko inspired me to wear a scarf in my hair today.  Although I didn't wear it the exact way she does (I wasn't brave enough) I still tried to rock it half as well as she does.  It was such an easy way to spice up a standard bun too!

Awkward & Awesome Thursday

{Button-Up: Forever 21, Jeans: JCrew, Heels: Gift from friend}

Playing along with Sydney's ongoing series today!

Awkward:

- Trying to jump start my BF's truck at midnight in our apartment complex
- Picking a wedgie while on a walk, only to realize someone is walking closely behind you
- Finding a cat hair in my made-at-home burrito, and still eating it. Hey, what can I say it was really tasty.

Awesome:

- Receiving compliments on my at-home manicure.
- Finding one of the last remaining parking spots in my apartment complex because each motorcycle feels it needs it's own spot.  It's the little things.
- Losing the evening to an old favorite past-time of making friendship bracelets.  So much fun!
- G time.  Last weekend I was able to spend the whole day with some of my favorite pals and I forget how relaxing and amazing it is to catch up!
- Getting some sun yesterday on my pale Irish skin, and I even have the start of tan lines.

Hot, Hot, Hot

It has been absolutely hot in Portland this week, and I know yesterday I said I wasn't sure what to do with full access to my closet again but now I'm rethinking that.  It will be so nice to have more skirt, dress, and short options to combat the heat.  I'm not sure how people living in Arizona, LA, Texas, or other warms states and cities are able to handle the heat without melting.

Button-Up & Bermuda Shorts

{Button-Up: Old Navy, Shorts: Gap, Heels: Nine West, Belt: H&M, Purse: H&M}

Now that I'm finally caught up on my outfits from the weekend, this is what I wore today.  It's hard to believe that there is only one week left in this challenge.  It feels like this 30 for 30 has gone by extra fast, and I'm not sure what I'll wear once I have access to my entire closet again!

4th of July Weekend

I hope that everyone had a great weekend and was able to enjoy the sunshine that July hopefully provided!  You couldn't have asked for nicer weather here in Portland, and it was absolutely gorgeous yesterday for the 4th.  These are the three outfits I wore Saturday, Sunday, and Monday!

Stripes and a Clutch

{Tank: Forever 21, Skirt: Banana Republic, Clutch: Handmade}

This is the only picture I was able to take before my neighbor came out on his patio and I got awkward for taking my own picture.  I do have to point out the clutch I'm holding because I'm quite proud of it.  Last weekend I taught myself how to sew, and decided that a clutch would be my first project.  A couple of breaks out of frustration later and bam there is a clutch with a working zipper and all!

P.S. I'm wearing these sandals.

Happy 4th of July Weekend!!
