Please excuse the lack of photos today- I've only a few minutes to post before picking up a friend and going for coffee. 

Happy Friday, everyone!

Outfit details: Express t-shirt, F21 dress, F21 belt, Steve Madden wedges, bracelet from Australia (gift)

I've wanted to try the whole floral/stripes print mixing thing for a while now, so instead of putting a cardigan over this paisley-flowery dress, I put a striped shirt under it! It's something different, and it ended up working better than I thought it would. All in all, a fun, casual outfit for Friday. (Can you believe it's another weekend already? Where does the time go?)

You may notice a tan dog in the pictures. That is my dear old puppy (yes, he may be 11 but he's still my puppy) who enjoys making sneaky appearances in photos. Try getting him to pose for his own portrait? Nearly impossible. 

brightly, flowy, colorfully

 I love summer evenings. The sunlight turns perfectly golden, softer than the harshness of summer daylight. The air is still a bit sticky but that's part of the appeal of this season, isn't it? All the bug noises, however, I could do without.

I love colorblocking. Possibly this stems from my love of stripes. Makes sense, huh? In any case, as soon as I found this rusty top I knew I was going to pair it with this skirt. I love when that happens. I switched out the flats for turquoise wedges (seen here and here) when we went out to dinner.

Also new discovery regarding my hair. When it looks gross down (which is more often than not, I'm sorry to say), I have found that taking my bangs (which are awfully long now) and twisting them, then pinning them back makes my face look much less bald when I put it up.

 

more stripes?

I've realized how much I really like stripes. Granted, this shirt looks more color-blocky in my opinion than typical 'stripe' but still, haha.

  

Outfit details: Gap T-shirt, Ralph Lauren necklace (Macy's sale), Delia's crop jeans, Zara bag, Covington wedges (old, Macy's)

Nothing too exciting planned for today... yesterday I went to talk to another doctor who will be leading the research internship I'm doing this summer, but I was so pass-out-tired at the end of the day that I didn't take an outfit photo. I did like what I wore though, so I'll most likely wear it again and snap a pic when I do. Anyway, on the agenda for today: grocery shopping, a dentist appointment, and then off to one of my friends house to help her study Spanish.
