Mint





For the record, I think I'm wearing this hat wrong.

I bought this lovely skirt off Steffy. It's fun. It's flirty. And so am I, goddamnit. My favorite part is the color. So minty fresh. I've been wearing it a ton this summer, I just haven't photographed myself wearing it (surely you remember my month long departure from blogging...seems like it was just yesterday. Oh yeah. It was) much. But I did get pictures on this day, when my estranged boyfriend ("ex-boyfriend" doesn't seem right) and I went down to da lake. There were a lot of goings-on at da lake:

  1. I peed on myself.
  2. I got stuck in a tiny restroom with a bunch of high school girls changing into clothing from their bikinis.
  3. Lots of T & A. Tons of T & A. Too much T & A for my small mind to handle.
  4. We watched a guy jump out of his boat, swim to shore, walk around and curse for a while, and then take off on foot.
  5. He never returned.
  6. We also watched lots of police and fire trucks and rescue squads and that kind of thing pull up right onto the beach. It was hard to tell what they were doing, but it looked like they blew up some sort of hovercraft and then rode away on it.
  7. They also never returned.
A real WTF day, if you will.

Happy loooooong weekend, y'all.

  1. OMG--that hat's not wrong. It's brilliant. I say, wear it all the time!

    You're too funny--peeing on yourself. Right! (But sometimes, oh goodness, do I come close when I laugh too hard!)

  5. Lovely outfit. You are wearing that hat as right as can be. That minty color is the color of the prom gown I wore when I was a freshman in high school and I was invited to the senior prom. My brother was a senior and he was so pissed that I was at his senior prom. Tee hee.

    So, you look gorgeous as always. That day at da lake sounds like a David Lynch movie.

    Love you tons and tons,
    Tracy

  9. My gawd you look AHmazing, I love that hat, the shirt, the skirt, I should say everything and get over with it because I do. And of course you know I love your hair, and how I love that hat, I am having a quick obsession over it here.

    I am really hoping you are feeling better now. No more moping for you! If I was there I'd offer you some triple thread chocolate brownies along with some strawberry mint smoothies, if you like them that is. Chocolate is known to be the mood repairer, and really, it never fails. And cause I am not there, and I cannot offer you chocolate brownies and strawberry smoothies via blogging I just made something for ya that I hope might cheer you up a bit, and it can be picked up with a click of your mouse, here you go:
    -Ta da!-

  12. Estranged is perfect, I haven't felt comfortable with "ex" yet! Love these pictures, so pretty! That skirt is summer at its best!

  13. haha you are a riot.

    I love these photos and the skirt is perfection, I like that you did something "different" and paired it with that top, I would never think to wear those two colors together.

  18. Wow, seems like you had quite the day at "da lake," haha. I love your outfit though, it looks so breezy and chic. Probably one of my favorites from your blog. The red stripes look genius with the mint skirt and the hat is super adorable.

  22. You look ADORABLE! This is such a sweet look. I adore the hat, and as far as I can tell, you're wearing it right! And mint is such a precious color. I love it paired with the orange belt and burgundy top. It's such an unexpected color combination. But it really works! And my goodness, what a freaky day you had!
