Blueberry & Coral

I wore this outfit for the first time on Saturday when we went out after the the race. It’s been in my closet for a few months, and it even went to San Francisco with me- but it wasn’t exactly feeling like Summer when we were there! My hair was a crazy mess after being out in the sun all early afternoon, and you all don’t want to even know about my bright blonde roots! So I threw in a side braid and covered up the mess with a hat- tada!

Nate took these photos for me on our way out to play trivia with friends at one of our favorite local pubs. We stopped off in the trusty little park near our house where I’ve started taking a ton of my photos. There are so many perfect locations to choose from there! Nate took all of these and I love how they turned out. He’s turning into a regular photographer! I mentioned this on twitter and had a few people respond saying they thought that he took all of my photos- but nope! I usually parade around with a tripod setup – which looks far crazier than having another person there taking pictures of me, I might add. He’s probably going to wish he hadn’t impressed me so much with these because now I’m going to make him take them for me all of the time. It was just so much more fun that way, too!

The low back on this top is something I absolutely love! It’s hard to tell in the pictures (I think) but my shoulders and a small part of the top of my back got super sunburned in San Francisco and it was still looking pretty awful when I wore this. I wanted to wear it so badly that I really didn’t care how it looked. ;] This is actually a bodysuit – which seemed like a good idea when I bought it – but proved to be very annoying every time I went to the public restroom at the pub. It’s very tricky to hang on to your skirt while you’re trying to completely disrobe in a tiny stall JUST to ..ya know.. go. Somehow I always find a way to direct the topic at hand to something that seems like too much information. You’re welcome.

I’m wearing: Rose Painter’s Studs c/o Poshlocket, tiny nautical knot studs from H&M, Bodysuit + Skirt + Hat via Forever21, a diamond necklace (family heirloom), and blue moccasins from Aerie.
