So here's another possible wedding outfit! I LOVE this blue. I'm practically obsessed with the color. If I could, I would never take this color off. I really have nothing to say else about it except...
How do you all (Amanda) feel about this one? Other readers, feel free to comment!
A great print...
Stylish sandals...
And a dress that spins! 
Oh, hello! Just me here. A tanner version of me, though. This past weekend was full of outdoor activities and it left me exhausted..and tan! On Saturday I went bike riding on the North Shore and got a little sunburnt, but it's fading nicely. Then on Sunday I went to the South Side Works to help support a band who won a contest sponsored by the Post Gazette. The band, Mace Ballard, was entertaining and it was very exciting for them to get the opportunity to make a music video courtesy of the PG and they won some money. Niiiice.
The only downer on Sunday was that it got too hot outside for me and I got some hives (I'm allergic to temperature change so when there are drastic changes in temperature or extremely hot or cold, I get hives...but it's muuuuuch better than it used to be. Wow, how attractive does that make me sound??) Luckily, there's a bookstore in the South Side Works so I ducked in there for some air conditioning and bought a book! Hell yeah!
One of these pics is not like the other...can you spot the differences? So on Friday, Laura and I went to the Waterfront to do some studying for the Praxis test we take next week. The Praxis test, you may wonder, is this stupid exam that all students must take in order to be able to work in a school. School counseling falls under that umbrella, so we are reviewing 8th grade math concepts. I have no problem with this as I Love Math, but Laura is not so enthusiastic...kind of like me for the past 2 months about The Tights that Bind. But hey, things are looking up here, so I have hope for her!
Anywho, this has been my go to dress so far this summer: it's light and versatile - my Comfy Little Black Dress. I know, when you think of an LBD, you think of this breathtakingly hot number that just flatters every inch and turns heads, but hey, when have I ever followed fashion labels and rules on here? Exactly! So why start now?
I ended up choosing the above outfit because I felt a little naked without something around my neck. The change must have worked - the lady at the Verizon store (quick tangent: My touch screen stopped working 2 weeks ago on the right hand side and so I went there on Friday to see what they could do and as surprise and luck would have it, I had 2 DAYS left on my warranty, so BAM, new phone for FREE) told Laura and me how cute and summery we looked. Well, I can't really argue with her, so that seems like an appropriate place to end this.
Next, we'll discuss Michael's ideas: Baby Einstein or Baby Viking. I chose this picture because it's funnier. I think he wants this choice because lets admit it, how funny would my little niece look with a mustache and crazy white wig? HILARIOUS.
Now on to the best option: MINE. I think Soph should be a duck. How adorable! Yes, the picture is small, but the level of cute is THROUGH THE ROOF. Quack quack, I'm a baby halloween duck. Look at the baby duck bill that's like a hat! And the baby duck feet! And the baby duck belly! Game.Set.Match.
Now some of you may (not) wonder what I am going to be for Halloween. Surely I must have a costume picked out for myself since I am already focusing on my darling little niece. And you're right, I do. So every once in awhile I'll give you guys hints. They will be few and far between because, hey, it's a long time before October 31st. But this fun little game will end with my costume reveal. Costume hint #1 and GO: Sunglasses.
So for class today (Career Development and Vocational Counseling for those of you who care) we had to dress up for mock interviews. Well normally while I would wear a suit, it was 88 degrees today and I'm just not that dedicated to class to be quite honest with you. Class smlass, it was hot out! Anyway, I figured this outfit was as good as any to be moderately dressed up. But guess what...
It's the same gosh darn silhouette I've been wearing recently! I can't help it that my skirts all seem to be higher waisted and that it's been hot out so I've been wearing them lately. But guess what else about this skirt...it has POCKETS. I can't express how much I love pockets on skirts and dresses. 
I know people. It's only the third day back of me posting and it's already becoming redundant. Shirt? Check (Let's hope, right?!) Skirt? Check. Sitting higher on my waist? Check. Wedge shoes? Check. Toilet Paper on the floor? Check. Anyways, another day, another outfit. Wait. That's a lie. This was the same day I took all of those other outfit post pictures! Sooo, same day the other day, another outfit is more fitting. I digress. As usual. So, oh shoot. Where was I?
I guess what I'm trying to say is that when I find a silhouette that works I stick with it. And it's been hot out lately so skirts are a must. Sometimes in the muggy weather if I even think about jeans I start to sweat, once again proving the necessity of pinning my bangs back.
These outfits may seem simple, but I really do love them. I like being able to throw on 1 or 2 pieces and peace on out of the house! And to be able to do that and achieve a summery look...BONUS!
