The first time I wore this, it was about 20 degrees cooler outside, so I paired it with brown, knee-high boots; taking a walk on the preppy side. The whole thing felt a bit too Ralph Lauren for my taste, but a couple days later, when December provided me with a 70 degree Sunday (what?!), I took the opportunity to quirk it up a bit and trade the boots for a pair of sandals I didn't get to wear enough this summer. Equipped with my oddball footwear, chipped toenail polish, and mixed patterns, I ventured out in my version of preppy to a local park to lay in the grass and pretend it's July. A day well spent, if you ask me.
Poor timing on the bubble blowing. I blame the photographer.

I've got an exciting weekend coming up! My birthday was yesterday, (so naturally it's my birthday until the end of the week : )), Matt's graduating tomorrow, his parents are coming up for the occasion (and bringing our new mattress and treadmill with them!), and our anniversary (third) is Sunday! Phew! See y'all Monday!
Holy smokes that really is an exciting week! Congrats on all counts :) And this is a fancy shmansy outfit for lying around in grass, I'm impressed ;) I like the quirky twist to the Ralph Lauren type of uniform, those sandals really did make the outfit. And love the bubble gum pictures haha
ReplyDeleteRight? Gonna be running around all over the place. And thank you! : )
DeleteHaha, well I wore it the second time to photograph it, but there was no way I was wearing those boots.
Yeah, they didn't turn out as i had envisioned, but I still like them : )
