Hello darlings!
Hope you are having a swell week. I'm just busy as a little ol bee preparing for the big move. Lots to do finishing up at my job, finalizing application papers for the house, and the quite dreaded packing. (Groan) I've promised myself this time around I am not going to get overwhelmed. Anyhoo, my outfit today is courtesy of my closet. Nothing new...and seeing that I will not be working at least for a little while after we move, I am really making an effort to "shop my closet" and thrift more often...and I'm quite content with this.

It's Thursday and a three day weekend is nearly peeking it's head around the corner to say "hello". I am smiling very big right now just thinking about this:)

Love,
at

    Good luck moving, it is a pain in the butt, I agree! I love the strawberry cardi. I'm weak for any type of novelty print. Cutest outfits as usual!

    That is a fantastic quote! And so true :)
    Packing is quite the endeavor :P I'm going to try my hardest to move as little as possible throughout my life-but we'll see what God's plans are first ;) haha
    I love your gorgeous hat! Darling, you are a master at accessorizing your outfits-so beautiful!

    Hey Love,

    I just needed to tell you I LOVE YOUR CARDIGAN AND YOU LOOK SUPER CUTE IN THIS OUTFIT.

    Hehe, I had to capitalise that, your posts always amaze me! Everytime I read your blog, I always wish we lived next to each other so wardrobe raiding is allowed. ♥

    Hello Marisa! Thank you so much for the nice thing you said; I'm so glad you liked that outfit :D

    You always add a touch of sweetness to your outfits, and I love that. The little strawberries on your cardigan are just so cute, and combined with the lacy dress and the red sash, it all makes an ideal summer ensemble.

    Good luck with packing x_x Hate to pack.. But I agree; I'm trying to shop my closet as well these days, and explore new thrifty shopping locations! xx

    Ugh, moving is such a pain (got multiple moves planned this summer myself). You look adorable however; and who needs to shop more than their own closet when that closet is as lovely as yours? I'm trying to cut down a lot myself...
