OOTD- A Nice Visual

I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was extremely low-key, but it was all made complete when I bit into a peach straight from the farmer's market (thanks mom). Unbelievably sweet and juicy; it tasted just like summer. 

The weatherman uttered my least favorite word earlier...heatwave!! So, I'll be over here using whatever method I can to stay cool. I think I'll start with wearing lots of blues to transport myself to a Caribbean beach with a cool breeze blowing. Ahh, I can feel it already. You guys should join me. We can go for a swim, play some volleyball and then have a bonfire when the night comes. That settles it, I'm starting a vacation fund this minute. It only consists of $1 right now, but if I can manage on an apple and water everyday, I might get somewhere by the end of the summer! Too bad I love food too much and that will never happen, so I'll have to make due with my visualization techniques. C'est la vie!

Do you have any fun summer vacation plans? Come on guys, I have to live vicariously through you!!

OOTD-One Down, More to Go

So, my birthday was several weeks ago, but I've decided to declare a celebration throughout the whole month!! A little family-style Italian dinner this weekend with my loved ones was definitely a great way to round out the festivities (and have me completely stuffed by the end of the night). Although it might have been a better idea to wear some stretchy pants for such an occasion, I went for my new favorite "fake you out leather" pants instead. They certainly fooled my mother and went so well with my new "birthday" tee. I used my Anthropologie birthday discount on this top and I couldn't be happier, I would totally get it in the other colors. I'm trying to figure out if it is because I had to size down two sizes and now have something small in my closet with no need to hit the gym hardcore or if it is because it helps me meet that fashion resolution of adding more prints to my closet. Now if I could just learn how to properly walk in high heels, I'll be all set in meeting those goals. Until then, I'll be the one wobbling down the street in the colorful top.

 Would you ever be swayed into buying something partially because it's in a smaller size than you normally wear? Of course, we're talking about something that you would consider buying in the first place.
